Just to let anyone know, if you have a computer that keeps blue-screening (especially a Dell) and you have run memory tests such as the built-in tests provided by Dell, and Memtest86, and there are no problems found, you should try the Microsoft Memory test utility. It found errors that the others did not, and […]
I’ve found that a lot of my users are starting to have issues connecting to Small Business Server Remote Web Workplaces, and I know how to fix it. The fix Is pretty annoying and fairly involved for a standard user, but I plan on creating a write-up (with pictures) to more easily explain how to […]

http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/technology-articles/cant-send-mail-using-comcast/ I was having problems with my simplemachines forum and my home outlook client. It seems that Comcast is quietly shutting down port 25 and moving to 587 for smtp traffic. Definitely look into it if you are having problems.
