• 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.

    Data caps, Bandwidth monitoring, and more questions.

    Pfsense can do this pretty easily without any scripting on your part, and compared to a business router/switch with these features, it will be considerably less expensive . There is a built in captive portal function that will let you limit bandwidth by ip, or mac address. Bandwidthd will let...

    Virtualized pfsense and windows home server?

    Check youtube for esxi setup and intro videos. It's pretty easy to get up and running. For the pfsense box you'll want to use the E1000 virtual nics when you set the vm up. Having a dual port nic is not required because you can virtualize interfaces on one nic. However, you should use...

    Two WANs, one LAN... but no load balancing

    Do this. Most routers these days offer QoS out of the box, or can use a third party firmware that supports it. This will be cheaper since you won't need to pay for another internet connection, and the router will use less power than a dedicated PC.

    Recommend a good wireless router

    Go with a refurbed netgear WNDR3700v2. You can get them for around $60-$70. Don't waste your money on an E3000. I upgraded from one of those to a WNDR 3700v2 and I couldn't be happier.

    Can't reach my Server 2008 R2 on the network

    Don't bother pinging it unless you enabled ICMP prior to get it to respond to ping requests since it's disabled by default. Try accessing by name or IP. I have a similar set-up (win 2008 r2 with WHS under hyper-v) and they're all to date and remote access to shares using \\server name\ works...

    Question about lag. Need some help.

    BF3 uses different physics for bullets than most games do. Bullets don't instantly hit other players or objects, they "travel" through the air before impact. Also, the health bar only shows the opposing players health at the moment he/she killed you. That;s why you still get kill assist...

    switch

    Netgear offers some nice stuff in that price range, and they're support is really great if you buy new.

    Need a ~$60 Router

    Get a refurbished Netgear WNDR 3700v2. They cost about $60-$70 and are rock solid out of the box.

    Anyone see a problem with this layout?

    It defeats the purpose of having two nics in your media server, and gaming computer, if the switches connecting them have a single gigabit uplink. If you're still set on this idea of increasing your bandwidth (and in this scenario, a single gigabit link gigabit is more than enough for 2...

    pfSense 2.0 since release update and appreciation thread

    Switching the NIC type to E1000 worked. Thanks.

    pfSense 2.0 since release update and appreciation thread

    How did you guys get it running on ESXi 5? I can't get the nics to be recognized during setup, even if I enter em0/em1 as the interface names.
