THE Windows 2000 Security Book...  |
|
This book covers all security features of Win2K like NTFS, EFS, security templates, ...
It also cover a lot of security issues which are not specific to W2K but that W2K use or implement: IPSec, VPN, Firewall, DMZ, PKI, Radius, SSL, Kerberos, SNMP, etc...
It also explain how to secure all W2K services at the maximum (RIS, DNS, DHCP, WINS, Group policy, Active directory and Trust relationship, Telnet, Terminal services, ...)
Because W2K is much more secure than older Windows version (W9x, NT40), implementing the maximum W2K security could result in a loss of compatibility with these old systems.
This book just explains how to deal with that issue, and how to increase NT40 or W9x security (for example to support NTLMV2 or SMB signing)
There is also an interesting Chapter about interoperability with UNIX, Novell, Macintosh, LINUX, SAMBA,..
What about the form?
Each chapter begin with a case study. Then, after each explanation of a security concept, the book explains how to apply this concept to the case study. It doesnt forget explanation about why this or that solution is the correct one.
Probably one the best MS-Press Book Ive read ...
A Must-have for every IT administrator or architect who cares about W2K security! I recommend it highly!

Great for surfing web and email on the move |
|
This product is simple to use and configure. I use it to connect to my Nokia 6310i (with GPRS on Orange) for email and web browsing and it works well and the speed is very reasonable - although it is best to set IE to not show pictures... Like the other reviewer I spent ages trying to get Nokia PC Suite talking to the phone via this card and eventually gave up. I view this as a minor inconvenience and so rate this as 5 stars based on the dial up via Bluetooth which cannot be faulted.

3com bluetooth PC card: compatability with Nokia Phones  |
|
The card is simple to install, (plug it in !) and the software loaded from CD without fuss. "Bluetooth conection manager", the 3Com software, can be run from a shortcut, or auto started with windows, monitoring bluetooth devices continuously.
The software allows easy setup for serial connection, dial up network and fax connection etc. I quickly managed to configure the interface to allow web access via my Nokia 6310i albeit at 9.6Kbps. So far, the 3com card was doing everything i asked and expected. When i tried to configure the card to allow Nokia PCsuite software to link to the 6310i via bluetooth, i ran into difficulties. A call to a very helpful Nokia technical support person revealed that 3com does not support the connection to Nokia PCsuite, while other bluetooth PC cards most definitly do. Back to my hi-tech serial cable to access Nokia PCsuite which allows me to syncronise address numbers and details between microsoft outlook and Nokia 6310i phone. I personally find PCsuite far more useful, even essential, than internet access via a mobile, therefore I consider this a serious omission, and derate the 3com card from 5 stars to 3.
