You could even skip the switch and try directly connecting the two, see what kind of performance you get directly connected, if it flies, router, if not, something is skewed on one of the two machines, start simple, swap cables if you can, etc. If you have multiple nic interfaces, active the...

What everyone else has said, theres really no reason for this, and if they are having trouble understanding why this is important, try to explain it like this: 1, Its free to setup and configure 2, If we dont, we could lose everything, expose income/financial data, and whatever other data is...

This is what ours looked like when the old firewall we had broke and Germany decided not to replace it for a while. The IT Admin said, oh itll be fine, and its one less device to configure and add bandwidth! ........ I convinced the american VP this was insane and got us set up with another...

Hey Folks, Just wanted to post an update while using the FM2A85X-ITX. So far I have had 0 stability issues with the mobo, or odd quirks, working incredibly well so far. When I did the install I used a gemminII HS/Fan for the a10, as above mounting the backplate was problematic. I ended up...

If it is wired you should be able to, I usually put my bravia on Static so its easier to do 'play-to' stuff with it. Unless the connection is literally bad it should be as simple as adding in a static outside of DHCP scope, but within the subnet (or go static, and then provide a lease...

So I finished my build: CM 120 elite case A10 5800 - already have FM2A85X-ITX 8gb gskill 1866 CM geminII m4 cooler Corsair 430w 80plus psu Windows Server 2012 Essentials I am quite impressed with it as a DC, File Server, and Media streamer thus far. It has been rock solid, and...

Given that you said your using CISCO I pulled up some documents describing what I believe your trying to do. The thing with this stuff is that its really kind of imperative that you actually understand what is happening and how, versus just finding some snippets to re-configure and keep trying...

Sweet, thanks for the build log i'll definitely be reading that! I think it will be a pretty solid system. Thanks for the info solara2xb, I think it will work fine here too, like I said I'm not really trying to game with it, just media and server duty. lol @ Skillz & drescherjm I think we...

Well looking at free you may not get the same 'amount' of features but theres a few good options out there. The typical model now is to offer 'free' skeleton versions of AV which will be more a straight up scanner, maybe some active protection. Avast is a really popular option these days for...

Yeah thats not a bad idea either actually. So in the end boils down to, can you find something that will physically be able to handle what you want, and how much do you want a 'warranty' and support services? If that second part isnt super important, a DIY isnt a bad thought

Im not sure that you can actually do it through pidgin, but you can log into hotmail.com (now owned by MS). If you do it should open you to a dashboard kind of layout with the MS Messenger pic on the upper left (or if it kicks you to the inbox, lower left is Home, click that) next to it should...

yeah my current build lineup is: CM 120 elite case A10 5800 - already have FM2A85X-ITX - in the mail, though the issues from another thread are a bit concerning.. may change 8gb (probably toss in another 8gb as well) gskill 1866 CM geminII m4 cooler Corsair 430w 80plus psu Working on a 120gb...

That will depend more on the quality of the antenna, and card so that isnt necesarrily a 1:1 kinda thing.. Almost as/more importantly at this moment is going to be, what operating system is this going to be used with? The cards from the link show up to w7 so that should be fine, but if he/you...

I always prefered EVGA support myself beyond quality. Thankfully the only time I had to deal with them was super painless and friendly, but on the other hand I never had to deal with ASUS support regarding VCs so cant really speak much to that.. heh

Yeah I like to limit as well, usually 40-59fps depending on the game, as others said, nice and stable visually, and can help keep uneeded heat down. I havent been a frame rate pusher in a long while, so the big number flying by in the upper left of the screen means less to me than it once did...
