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.

LOL yea I know if i was the IT guy and came into a mess like that and I knew no one would be looking over my shoulder any time soon I would of done the same. That is just ridiculous!
I have several APC SmartUPS's and I can say that they have been the best I have found to work with. You can find replacement batteries cheap on ebay so they basically have an unlimited lifespan. The nice thing about the APC's is that you can set windows up to shutdown when the battery level hits...
Have you tried a different port on your switch and if possible a different port on your laptop? Yea I know most laptops only have one Ethernet port but, if you have anyway of borrowing a PCMCIA card from someone, that would help prove the ports are still good. I have seen several ports randomly...
If i understand what he's asking then he will need at least 2 wireless cards and 1 wired connection. It sounds like he basically wants everyone to connect to him instead of his router... other then a man in the middle attack or some kind or maybe traffic shaping he wants to do locally, I have no...
