iNetLabs is my toybox for experimenting with different technologies and how they can be used. It is also my home network and a place to share my news, interests, and knowledge(what little I have).

NOTE: If you are using an older Netscape or Gecko based browser you will have problems viewing some pages on this site. Look here for details.

Much of what I do is testing with Microsoft Windows NT/2000/Whistler(XP) trying to push the limits of what it can accomplish. I have been a NT user since 1992 and am a fan of the OS. It's has quirks and design flaws but provides a robust, standardized platform for most users to manage. I also use OpenBSD and will be experimenting with it as well.

My current project is network monitoring and management using low cost or free tools to replace the costly systems offered by HP, IBM, CA and others. I'm working on product lists, how-tos and whitepapers and eventually this information will have it's own website.

Previous projects include complete remote control and administration of Windows servers. The use of proprietary remote control software works well but can be costly. Fortunately there are open source variants, namely VNC, that also work. Using VNC along with telnet/ssh and command line utilities will provide full remote administration capabilites at zero cost.
