Most of my Wiki experience was online with various tools including Confluence.  So far, I’m very pleased with the layout of the Wiki tools in comparison to others I have used.  The ability to tie clients into the Wiki and to e-mail them updates appears to be very useful.

The file sharing in comparison to Sharepoint is good but needs work.  The plug-ins for MS Office help but still feel a little clunky. They offer a service for Web Folders which is great but it’s Read-Only. We pay 130+ a month and I only get Read-Only access to file I have uploaded. Of course I can edit via the web interface or open with the MS Office plug-in but it would be nice to do this without the Read-Only tag. This way the whole team could map a drive and use as a network drive. I hope they change this in future versions.

They also allow you to setup a database which is great. You can create the database to store client/customer data and design the look and feel. Very nice and easy to share the data w/the team.

They also provide a spreadsheet and word processor, much like Google Docs. They are a little slow to open but function fine once open.

After one week I like the product. I think it’s a little pricey for 130+ per month but the set of tools is great and seems to be well thought out. The web folders is the one item that needs to be updated to allow full access via WebDav but for now we can look over that.

1. You need to give your Directv a static IP address under Network/DHCP. If you need help on that part, let me know
2. Go to Security Services / Content Filter
3. Scroll down to CFS Exclusion List
4. Check the box to “Enable CFS Exclusion List” – Very Important
5. Click Add and input the IP of your DirectTV box
6. Click Accept on the top of the page

Create those under Firewall/Services and then create a Service Group call Instinet_Group and place those in there. Setup a LAN to WAN rule with this group and you should be good.

These can be added under Firewall/Services. Add four services something like:
bloomberg_48129
bloomberg_8194
bloomberg_8209
bloomberg_8290

Then created a group called Bloomberg and add these four services to the group. Then go into Firewall, LAN->WAN and allow from Firewall Subnets to Any using Bloomberg and you should be good. These port definitions are from the latest Transport and Security Specification dated May 10, 2010.

As always, define your outbound rules by services groups and do not setup LAN->WAN Any rules. This is sloppy firewall configuration and makes it hard to troubleshoot issues.
