This is an opinion question, about the best development hardware setup for a .NET Web programmer. The company I work for is reviewing our existing setup for our developers: * Laptop for VPN, MS Office Applications, and RDP * VMware Virtual Machine with Visual Studio 2005 installed for all Web Development Projects * Central Windows Server 2003 with IIS and SQL Server 2005 installed, and all web project code is local to these servers (everything is accessed through the network) We are wondering if we should allow for local development on the laptops, instead of the VM, but I'd like to get additional feedback on what other people/companies have that works best. Thanks for all who reply,

I'm trying to find a tool to help monitor the network bandwidth from a server. I have a server powering a website, but my total throughput for a month is 500GB. I'd like to be able to to monitor the total used bandwidth for a month on the server, and possibly pull reports about usage as well. People are not logged into the server, so it would need to run as a service on the machine. It is a Windows Server 2003 server. Does anyone have any suggestions?

To enable, right click on the grey area to the right of the tabs, and select Menu bar. The Menu is off by default.

If you have the SATA driver downloaded, I would suggest using nLITE to slipstream the driver to your windows CD. It can create the ISO file for you when complete, and its a simple burn and install afterwards. To add the driver, just search for the txtsetup.oem from the manufacturer within nLITES driver add wizard, and select the drivers you wish to import (you can do multiple, or just the one you wish for), and it will do the rest. I have not used the DriverPacks before, so I can't say if that's easier or not. Good luck,
