• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Confused about DNS server at home...

    Okay, so it looks I have it working, thanks to all of your help and suggestions. First thing I did was replace my Airport Extreme with pfSense. Once I had that out of the picture, and an actual configurable router, it was significantly easier to set up. I enabled DHCP in W2K12, then disabled...

    Confused about DNS server at home...

    So should I turn on DHCP on my Windows Server? If my clients could still use my router (if it hears it first), will it make a difference? I'm using Google's: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 Default Server: UnKnown Address: ::1 Not sure what that means... I agree. I can understand the concept of DNS...

    Confused about DNS server at home...

    I thought about that. I'd like to eventually replace my Airport with something like pfSense or a better dedicated router, but I'd like to take it one thing at a time. I can see that I can enable a DHCP server on Wndows, but how would my clients know to use that instead of the router? In order...

    Confused about DNS server at home...

    I'm working on setting up a more robust and capable homelab, but I'm a bit confused how to set up my network. Right now I have a very simple setup: cable modem goes into my consumer router (Apple Airport Extreme) providing DHCP and NAT. I also have my own domain and use dyndns to point my domain...

    ESXi USB stick boots to UEFI shell

    It's a Supermicro X10SL7-F, Intel E3-1275v3, 32GB RAM, and I'm using a 16GB Sandisk Cruzer Fit as my ESXi storage.

    ESXi USB stick boots to UEFI shell

    I'm in the process of setting up my new server with ESXi, but I'm having a strange error. When I boot from my USB stick (where ESXi is installed) in UEFI mode, it first boots to the UEFI shell. If I type 'exit' to exit the shell, it does, and goes to my ESXI installation. In my BIOS, I have my...

    All In One Storage Configuration

    I think for now, 250GB should be enough. I don't have very intense VM needs (for now) and many of the things I will use them for I can use an external share to store the data on (like Windows Updates, etc.). Once I have more VMs and a need for more space, I can then upgrade my VM storage. I'm...

    All In One Storage Configuration

    Right, I meant napp-it with OmniOS (using his preconfigured VM). RAIDZ is really that slow? I'd considered just a bunch of mirrors, but I'm not sure it's worth losing half my storage capacity. I have a fair amount of data (mostly media) to store and the reason I was leaning towards RAIDZ2 is...

    All In One Storage Configuration

    So I'm in the process of building an ESXi all-in-one so I can teach myself about virtualization and various networking technologies. To save space/money for now, I'm starting with an all-in-one centered around NAS4Free with a ZFS pool. You can read about my build here...
