One Way Network Connection

http://serverfault.com – I have a very paranoid client who runs two separate networks (one offline, one online) with separate PCs etc. I have a challenge in that I have written an application for them that will run on the offline network however the network needs to be able to send emails to clients. My idea is to have a one way network connection (like a diode) from the offline server to an online PC that would send the emails. What is the most effective way to go about this that is semi cost effective? Can I get a one way network card? Windows Server 2008 Network, Windows PC. (HowTos)

We have a Windows 2003r2 server which is sending intermittent ARP requests to several devices which are no longer on the network.

I have another PC want to join the same LAN(192.168.0.0/24) by connecting the pc's network port P to one of those 3 unused network ports (I am using network port B in this case) on win2008 server.

I have a XenServer, and XenServer runs on a RedHat linux system.

So i would start my xenserver with wake on lan. I configured the network card with the ethtool: the option "Wake-on: g"

Many of our users have their Home folder set as Available Offline. Their Windows 7 laptops will not be back on our network for a few weeks. In the mean time, we're setting up new servers and reorganizing our files, so the network path to the Home folder is going to be completely different.

I've been struggling to connect to my home wireless network, but up until now my Broadcom card has been able to at least detect the network. I know this because in Network manager, in the Add Network Connection dialog box, if I tell it to scan for wireless networks then I see my home network along with all the other local wireless networks.

I just replaced the old HP ProCurve switch with a new Cisco SG 300-28P managed switch. It has PoE on all ports. Everything works, except for my domain server that went offline and the network interface appears to be dead. Windows says the network cable is disconnected, and no lights blink on the switch.
