Backoffice

[Massimo]

Is there someone who can tell me if it's true that Backoffice sbs works only on ethernet networks?

To be honest MASSIMO,

I have installed Microsoft SBS with an ethernet network but am having so many poblems I do not believe that its impossible but configuration sure does take all your time. UnfortunatleyI cannot answer the question specifically but I can tell you it's hard even with ethernet. Hope these are words of encouragement.

SBS only runs over TCP/IP.

I have set up a few sites using SBS 4.0a with very few problems. The big thing is to make sure your hardware is on the compatability list, if it's not, the results can be hit and miss.

The only major problems I had were setting up the email when the companies only had POP3 accounts and Fax Services. The Fax Services are still causing problems.

If you would like to contact me, by al means feel free to.
