Hi All

I have a few questions for you experts out there...

I have 2 Snap's... a 410 and a 520 both with GuardianOS 5.1.046.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is CA Antivirus worth having if the NAS is exposed to the net.

2. When "monitoring" the NAS from the Active Users dialog, it shows users logged in locally
via a network share, but doesn't show anyone connected via HTTP. Is there a way to show
web based users status? Same applies to Open Files dialog.

3. Almost immediately after enabling the outside IP, I began to get attacked with a user login
authentication attempt from one IP. IP lookup shows it to be a known user(s) from Japan.
Is there a way to block IP's, or better, an entire range of IP's on a Snap?

4. What is the best way to enable a HTTP file upload on a snap?

5. The 410 is a 256MB RAM, 2TB Drive model with 4 - 500GB 7200RPM drives. It takes about 3 minutes to copy
a 1.27GB file across a gigabit network to the Snap. Copying the same file on the same network
to a Dell PowerEdge 2900 takes about 47 seconds. Is this about par for the course, or will boosting the RAM
up to 1GB or more help?

Any observations or advice in general would be welcome.

My last Snap was a 4000 series using the old OS and much has changed.

Thanks!
