First off, hello to all of you, as you may be able to tell im new to this whole thing and this is my first post ive read all the rules and totally agree with them and have found out a fair bit of usefull information from previous posts.
Basically it starts from i ride trials bikes, then got into making videos and then hosting them on websites. Now i feel im quite fluent with building websites along with the use of flash and other such things. I am however only 16 so yes i have oh so much to learn and ive recently realised that.
Ok i left school and got took on for a job as my title says "website admin" description of this is my boss owns a fair few companies and im updating and remaking the lot for him. Along with this i have been known as being relatively good at fixing software problems, not to brag at all but so far (touch wood) i havent come across a software problem i couldnt fix one way or another.
So just lately i have been landed the job of taking care of our network, keeping an eye on what people are downloading and looking at what they are using there computers for and keeping things in general running order.
Now my biggest worry - file and printer sharing, ive read over the net that this is basically a door saying come through and hack me, is this so?
Yeah i am pretty worried seeing as now this network is my responsibility and will land on my shoulders if something goes tits up, and yes you may of gathered we have a big amount of file and printer sharing all across our network.
I would greatly apreciate any help on what i need to look out for what people can do and how i can stop it.
We have here 39 computers with two servers, one for an independant system used for the business as a DOS program which is the heart of the company, the other server uses a wireless link through the entire office with a 2mb up and down internet connection.
All this was installed by "professionals" but personally i have no faith in them seeing as ever since they have been here we have had 5 of our computers constantly crashing and generally misbehaving after they have fiddled with them. the best one was when a worker attempted a defrag and this totally wiped the hardrive, although no antivirus software or firewalls had picked up anything previously.
thanks in advance for any help i may recieve. kallabungo
