here is a little more detail. it is a elementary school with the router and snap maintained by a separte group. they have us setup for dhcp ... all internal ips are either 10.26.0.x or 10.26.1.x both with a subnet of 255.255.252.0

I have a 2 building network with about 150 computers in each. The buildings are connected via fiber. We had a power surge yesterday and the performance has not been the same since. I was planning on replacing all the old hubs with switches. I need a recommendation on managed vs. unmanaged switches (ie. makes and models). BTW, running about 240 win98's, a netware, a win2000, a &quot;snap&quot; server (don't know os) and the rest winxp. PLEASE HELP.

Rebuilding Network

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
