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.
We've been having a lot of problems with user's losing all of their settings. For some reason, windows is rebuilding the profiles from the default, and naming them USER.DOMAIN, or USER.WINDOWS. I can copy the old profile into the new, and everything will be back to normal. This wouldn't be...
You might be able to get a used print server for around $25, but I think you might be out of luck if you want to buy new.
Are you talking about printing from Windows machines? If so, are you running samba on the CentOS server? What kind of printer is it(you'll need to get windows CUPS...
When logged on to your Smoothwall box locally, type ifconfig. This is alot like the windows ipconfig. If you can pass traffic through it, then it is probably working. If you want to, there are alot of online security scanners that you can run.
Your pc's os shouldn't be able to break your router. I personally haven't had much luck with Netgear's home routers. I've only dealt with two, but both failed early on. It is probably just a coincidence, but I stay away from them anyway.
I'm running smoothwall right now, and if you are talking about a local log in, your cursor will not move when you type in the password. I hate to tell you, but if it isn't letting you log in locally, you almost definitely typed the password wrong. Try with caps lock on, and common misspellings...
It kinda depends on how secure you want it and who will be doing the tracking. You can use a web proxy (don't forget to turn off any client side scripting) or a socks proxy for something like mirc... Actually mirc isn't a great example because I think most IRC servers check for open proxies...
This is definitely possible. You could just set up a router with both wan connections going into it. Set 2 different routes with 2 different administrative distances. I'm sure there are alot of free linux distros that could do this. Freesco comes to mind, altough I've never really played...
If you are running WINS you can just look it up there. You can do it from the command line with winscl.exe (in the 2000 resource kit?). I don't know the syntax, but I'm sure microsoft, or atleast someone, has a write up on it somewhere.
