Chris May's questions

I recently bought a Cisco ASA 5500 for my home office. I was planning on installing and configuring it this weekend, but it only just occurred to me that it probably doesn't support UPnP, and that I've grown quite fond of the UPnP stuff I have on my network (mostly using my PS3 to connect to my media server).

So, does anyone know if there is a way to do UPnP on an ASA (google didn't seem to think so), or if it's possible to somehow enable UPnP on a network that uses an ASA? I'm unsure if the router is integral to UPnP or if I could like setup a service on a machine, similar to how most people use their router for DHCP but I could just as easily run a DHCP service on one of my servers on the network to accomplish the same thing.

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 that is right now servicing 30 or so machines all on 10.10.0.X.

I want to segregate a few of these machines to a VLAN, so that they can't initiate traffic to all the other computers that aren't part of the restricted VLAN.

Computers that are not part of the segregrated group should still be able to initiate connections with the segregated machines.

So this is pretty much like a DMZ except I am hoping that I don't have to put the segregated machines on a different subnet.

Is this possible or do I need to have each VLAN on a different subnet?

Please excuse my novice status with this stuff. I'm trying to learn.

On my Windows 2008 server, my C: is 1.5 TB, and the partition is marked as: Healthy (Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

and somehow I ended up with a 2GB D: that is marked as Healthy (System).

On this D: drive are only a few MB worth of files (bootmgr, boot folder, bootsect.bak), but all Windows files are on the c:.

I've done everything I can to remove the (System) mark. I tried using bcdedit, I tried marking the C:partition as "Active", I tried using bootsect.exe to assign the C: drive as the boot partition. Maybe I didn't do one of those steps correct, but I've tried everything I can.

When I got my new Dell Poweredge T710, I didn't bother removing their 2 small drives before I put in my 2 new large drives. So I think when I installed W2k8 Server, maybe dell left some bootable partition on their drives to help me install the OS, but I never used it and just booted right from the install CD.

Can anyone help me remove the (System) mark from the D: so I can remove the D: partition and still boot to the C:?

I know I could remove the D: drives and reinstall windows, but I'm trying to avoid a total reinstall.
