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.

Make sure port 53 isn't being blocked on your firewall for some reason (this is commonly the port for DNS). And what are your DNS settings? Are you getting them from your ISP or do you have your own server set up?
I bought a rack today for my home and at the top was this 24-port patch panel but I'm not familiar with the back of it. Anybody know what this is and/or what you connect to it?
For those of you with multiple servers at home, how many outlets are you utilizing? I have two UPS units in my rack with each one going to a different outlet. I have two servers (one for each UPS) but I want to add more and am concerned with how much load I can put on a single outlet. Thoughts?
I was about to say the same thing, in a domain environment where every user is defaulting to the domain just precede the user name with '.\' and it will then default to the local computer.

Username: .\example
Password: password

The .box files DO matter, they are the majority of the OS. Just burn the three files onto a dvd as a data disc instead of .iso and if you need to reinstall the OS before your DVD comes in the mail then copy those files back over to your desktop and run 'em again.
