• 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.

    New 360 Elite...get BB warranty or not?

    I reccomend some more research but i remember reading on a gaming forum that you'll have problems transferring your digital content (from the online store) over if you just swap out your Xbox with BB under the warranty agreement. However, I'm not sure if your just able to login to the new Xbox...

    Gateway restarting itself... question(s)

    If you look around on the steam forums, I believe they have a setting where you can limit the number of servers that show up in that list, that way you don't have to be quick to cancel or loose your connection.

    IT Policies?

    It really depends on what industry your company is in, what you want out of your users and how much you do/don't want to piss them off. Not that making them mad is always a bad thing, I view IT policies as a give/take relationship. If you bar the user from being able to do their job effectively...

    Software Assurance

    Excellent, glad I could be of assistance.

    Software Assurance

    Yup, that's exactly what you need. You may want to check through your documents and see if someone already created an account that they linked to the agreement number. I don't think two accounts can be linked to the same master agreement unless they are authorized by the primary account. One...

    Software Assurance

    Depending on how you got SA (via openvalue, etc) you should have been given an agreement number and information to login at http://licensing.microsoft.com. There you can obtain software assigned to your license agreement via download and new keys to Office 2007. Software assurance gives you the...

    freenas...

    Damn, I need to update. I think I'm still at 3.0. :) Yea, like I said, my configuration isn't near production. If I was just using dedicated HBAs (without highend hard drives/raid controller on my san) I probably would have never reached the bottleneck I had. I'm pretty confident my current...

    freenas...

    For some reason I missed that, though when I was first looking into it I was running ESX 2.5 at work, 3 wasn't out yet and iscsi was a possibility in the spec sheets so that might be why I didn't notice freenas. iSCSI has been smooth but the environment is no where near production as its my...

    GigE network but not gigE speeds?

    ifconfig will give you basic stats (errors, dropped packets, overruns, framing, carrier, etc.) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:CD:93:B7:BB inet addr:192.168.11.68 Bcast:192.168.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500...

    Problems with OS loading (Windows XP)

    Could be a power supply (like covertash said) or bad capacitor issue. I've seen issues like this be caused by bad capacitors on Dell Optiplex systems as well as other cheap motherboards made from 2003 to about early 2006. The capacitors are the tall, round components on your motherboard, the...

    Can't install windows

    I've gotten that a few times, typically with Dell Optiplex motherboards that had bad capacitors. I've also seen this with bad memory and from time to time, bad video card. How old are the motherboards you've tried? It sounds like you've used this computer for a while before reinstalling...

    freenas...

    While I haven't tried freenas (though I might, just to see how it does), I'm currently using openfiler. I can't remember but I think when I was looking freenas didn't support iscsi which was a requirement for me, my vmware esx 3 server is using my iscsi san since I wanted more space using cheap...

    Home Networking Using Coax: Possible?

    Those were the easy ones to figure out, my favorite was the lazy wiring tech that would run coax right above or directly on top of the florescent lighting causing massive amounts of interference.

    Can't install windows

    When you say 'shuts down and never comes back up,' I'm assuming the machine powers back on, what happens when you remove the CD and let it boot, are you getting some error or just a black screen with nothing once its past POST?

    GigE network but not gigE speeds?

    I'm sure I'm going to look like a douche for pointing this out, but I can't resist... According to 40.4.4 (Automatic MDI/MDI-X Configuration) in Section 3 of IEEE Standard 802.3-2005 (obtainable at http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.3.html): "Automatic MDI/MDI-X Configuration is intended...
