My file server has different files visible to different people, based on groups and file permissions.
I planned to buy a Google Search Appliance and configure it to crawl this network shared drive via CIFS (aka SMB).
Will the search appliance present a user only with files to which he/she has access?
I have a Google Mini device that I've successfully configured to index two websites on our network.
The problem is that about 50% of the time I load the admin site http://192.168.0.150:8000 (our internal IP for the box) I get the "Unable to connect" message as if the server was down.
Also, sometimes while I'm using the admin site I'll open the main search in a new tab (192.168.0.150) and then when I return to the admin it no longer works.
The usual fix is to close all browsers and try again.
This issue occurs on FF3, IE8 and Chrome.
I reviewed the network settings and confirmed they look OK to me (no errors on the diagnostics). I don't really know what else to troubleshoot. Are there patches I'm not aware of? Has anyone else seen this issue?
Any troubleshooting ideas?

I will try to be as succinct as possible. Here's the short version:
We have a 3-5 year old Google search appliance that doesn't post after I tried to update the BIOS. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8IPXDR. We want to salvage the system but I don't know where to start. It's a 2U box. Do I have to buy the exact same motherboard to ensure it will fit the case? I've never put a 2U box together and have no idea how customized the interior of the case is, regarding the rails and fans, etc. I'm afraid I'll buy a socket 603 (?) board that theoretically accommodates all of the parts we have but then it won't actually fit the case. Basically, we hate to waste all of this RAM and disk but we can't spend a lot of money to put this system back together. It would be great if we could salvage the CPUs as well.
Impossible? Unlikely? Tell me about it!
TIA.
Out of curiosity, is anyone here using Google Mini or Google Search Appliance to provide intranet search? Was it easy to set up? What kind of prices do they charge (ball park figure, I'm sure it depends on the customer)?
