    OT: Cat 6 cabling...twists per foot (or meter)

    This may or may not help. I believe the CAT standards are defined by the International Standards organization (ISO) but I'm not sure where to find the official specifications. Like Stephen said, I don't think many companies that produce Cat 5/6 follow the standards 100% and it's most likely a...

    MSSQL 2005 and system stored procedures

    This should work. How are you attempting to grant permissions to the stored procedures? I typically create a deployment script that creates the stored procs I need and include the GRANT command GRANT EXECUTE ON [MySchema].[MyStoredProc] TO MyUser However, that method will not work on...

    Windows Server 2008 Support?

    I'm perfectly fine running Windows Server 2003 but I'm curious if there are any plans to move to Server 2008 and if so, when? I would imagine you may already be testing it (or will test it soon) but might wait for some sets of patches before committing to running it in a production environment...

    IIS won't let me assign URL to 403 error

    Windows XP has IIS 5 installed. JodoHost / Windows Server 2003 uses IIS 6 which is much improved. If you want to test you could always check out the trial versions of Windows Server 2003 and 2008 (which would include IIS) that Microsoft offer. You can usually download it in a virtual...

    Regarding Spam Filtering

    I use IMAP on my phone and I may need to move to that on my client. I'll see how it goes.

    IIS won't let me assign URL to 403 error

    I wonder if this is due to using IIS under Windows XP? Windows XP has an older, more limited version of IIS when compared to Server 2003 that JodoHost runs.

    MSSQL 2005 and system stored procedures

    If you take advantage of schemas then enter the schema where your stored procs are located.

    Regarding Spam Filtering

    I ended up taking your suggestion and now everything is hosted with Gmail. It's nice but I may have to move off of it due to POP restrictions. It's unfortunate that you can't download your email more than once (so if I have a phone that downloads it, my computer at home wouldn't receive it and...

    Name Servers

    I would agree that it would be nice to have additional nameservers in another location but if for some reason the servers go down then nothing is going to work anyway. Unless I'm missing the point?

    Regarding Spam Filtering

    Thanks DavidG. That's a really good idea, actually. I'll look into it though I think I'm going to give installing SpamAssassin first as I'd rather my e-mail be stored on my server rathern than a 3rd party's server.

    Coding techniques for protecting against Sql injection

    I'm not so sure I'd refer to phpBB as a "world-class" app due to all of the security issues they've had over the years though I have heard the new version is much nicer. It's unfortunate they haven't implemented a better data access layer (or one at all I should say) if that's code from their...

    sql query (dynamic/user input)

    Well, how do you plan to call this SQL? Do you want it in a stored proc or inline? You could do something like SELECT * FROM Products WHERE Type = @Type A stored proc would be nice CREATE PROCEDURE [MySchema].[GetProductListing] ( @Type VARCHAR(24) ) AS BEGIN SELECT *...

    Coding techniques for protecting against Sql injection

    That link has a ton of information on it, not all of it useful. If you're using ASP.Net then you really only need to do two things when dealing with Sql Injections and XSS attacks: 1. Parametrized SQL queries (stored procs would be the best) 2. Html Encoding. For example, transforming...

    Regarding Spam Filtering

    I just signed up for the Value plan and have Plesk installed on my VPS but noticed it did not include spam filtering. I'm used to shared accounts where Spam Assassin always comes standard. If spam filtering only comes with the Power Pack, can we install it separately? I'd hate to spend the...
