Enjoy another issue of the NetEqualizer Newsletter. This month, we'll explore a proven method for preventing RIAA requests. As always, feel free to pass this along to others who might be interested in NetEqualizer or AirEqualizer news. In this issue:

The RIAA finds copyright violators by downloading files from your network. Since these downloads must be initiated from the outside, you simply need to block all outside initiated requests for data. Obviously you would still allow requests to your Web servers and other legitimate well known content servers on your network. Understanding this, administrators can configure their routers to work in conjunction with their NetEqualizers to largely curb RIAA requests. NetEqualizer user Ted Fines, the network administrator at Macalester College, shares his methods for preventing RIAA requests on his university network. APconnections is proud to be a sponsor of ResNet 2008. We'll be attending the Vendor Fair on Tuesday, June 24 from 12:30-4:00, so be sure to stop by to say hello and get the latest updates about NetEqualizer. Check out the official ResNet 2008 page for more details. We hope to see you there! The complimentary seminar will be divided into two parts, with the first providing an overview of the NetEqualizer and the second focusing on advanced technical training. This will be a great opportunity for existing and potential customers to see the full capabilities of the NetEqualizer. The exact date and location of the Minneapolis seminar have yet to be decided, but we are open to suggestions of potential venues. Please let us know if you'd be interested in attending. We can be contacted at admin@apconnections.net or 1-800-918-2763. Contact Information

NetEqualizer News - Curbing RIAA Requests, Demo Units for Sale, and More...
For a limited time, we will have 10 Mbps desktop demo NetEqualizers available at a nice discount.* Although these units are slightly used, they continue to meet the high standard of NetEqualizer performance. In addition, these units come with the same support and full warranties as NetEqualizers that are purchased new.
Editor's Note: We often get asked by college administrators how the NetEqualizer can block p2p with our behavior-based rules. Since the NetEqualizer is containment based, it is effective in stopping approximately 80 to 90 percent of all p2p (see NetEqualizer comparison with layer 7 shapers). Yet, questions and fears still remain about RIAA requests. Since the NetEqualizer is not a complete block, not that anything is, customers wonder how they can be safe from those intimidating lawyers.
ResNet 2008 will be here before you know it. It'll take place from June 21-25 on the campus of the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Just like last year, it's sure to be a great time.
After a successful training seminar in Minneapolis last year, we've decided to do it again this summer.
