I believe the syntax in the system.webserver namespace is a bit different and as follows:
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authorization>
<add accessType="Allow" roles="WHATEVER" />
<add accessType="Deny" users="WHATEVER" />
</authorization>
</security>
</system.webServer>
@dashrender Agreed, i doubt it is DHCP and to answer why, i don't know, can't see it. Their MSP is just playing blame game i was trying to posit a solution without having all the data. If those things are each on 255.255.255.0 subnets though, no way they can talk without something routing it.
@thwr thanks for talking through this with me BTW. been a while since i ran in the networking world.
@thwr it would be a longshot, there would be no reason they would have turned it on. I just keep going back to there having to be a route for all 192.168.x.x traffic to go elsewhere. that is the only thing i can think of that would snipe the traffic off that nic.
then we would have a 172.x.x.x and a 192.x.x.x so there is no way they are going to talk, which is what we want
@scotth yeah, i'm with you. My thought was to see if they could change the machine IP to 172.whatever to get it the heck out of any kind of possible routing issue.
The problem is the salesman that got tied up in this doesn't know how to tell the MSP what to do to fix it and they are blaming the $100,000 machine for not working when I don't think it is the machine's fault. I'm in WA and the machine is in IL so I can't run out there and check their network...I offered 
@scotth there is not a "regular" network for nic 1. It is a simple communication network between the computer and a command board.
@thwr 2 nics on the client. One communicates commands from the computer to a "robot" and vice versa. the other is connected to the corporate network so they can share the "robot" config files.
@thwr I don't think it is insane, it is one machine that needs to be connected to 2 different networks, shouldn't be an issue but it is and they are trying to figure out why it isn't working like it should. My stuff about the possible /16 route was just a guess. If the domain added a /16 route the machine would think that 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 should be routed the same but they shouldn't. If the route was /24 it should see them as completely different networks and they should never cross.
@thwr the corp NIC is 255.255.255.0 so /24 but I am proposing that perhaps the corp network is /16. I don't know what the corp subnet is, you have about all the info I do. I'm trying to help someone that is in over their head on the machine side and going a bit blind. The customer's msp doesn't seem to know what they are talking about. My question is how on earth could traffic from the machine be going over the corp network if the corp subnet really is 255.255.255.0?
it has been a while since I have been on the networking train so I just want to confirm a hunch before I make myself look stupid...here's the sitch
Client computer (on metal working machine) has 2 nics. one it uses to communicate with the innerds of the machine and pass commands back and forth and the other is to connect to the coporate network for file sharing and what-not. each works independently but not together. it seems that when both are plugged in the machine commands get routed to the corporate network thus rending the machine useless. they swear that other MFG machines work fine this way. My conclusion was IP addressing.
Here is the thing,
nic one (machine) is 192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0
nic two (corp) is 192.168.1.x subnet 255.255.255.0
What I think may be happening is that the MSP that set up nic 2 for the corp network gave it a /24 subnet when in fact the corporate network is /16 and has some default route for 192.168.x.x addresses? am I wrong or is this pretty much the only thing that makes sense?
@scottalanmiller I'm always watching Waszowski, always watching.
Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it. We have been a small/young division since we started but now we are getting larger and older meaning questions like "Do we need or will we ever need all this data for customers that are no longer using our services?" are needing to be asked. So thanks again, all your replies have been very helpful.
I'm working, looking out the window at one of our few sunny days so far this year wishing I wasn't working. Oh well, only 1.5 hours left.
We are running into so data retention questions with historical data and I was curious if anyone had any experience and insight into industry standards or best practices when it comes to historical data retention and databases. What I'm wondering is how long the big boys keep their data live, how they offload it and what they do with old data. For example does Amazon have all their historical purchase data since they started or do they rotate it out after a certain amount of time? Anyway, it just got me thinking so any insight or ideas are welcomed. Thanks.
@mlnews well thanks. Good morning to you as well.
