• 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.

    Woot Images not loading...

    1. Do you have any “internet speed” programs? As they cache data and DNS entries. 2. Also adblock (the plug-in for firefox) did block Amazon images at one time, though it shouldn’t any longer. 3. Another option is that your DNS server may be caching for too long. Try 4.2.2.1 as your DNS...

    Vista registration problems

    In all likelihood your laptop OSs are OEM versions. FYI - If they were retail copies you do have options to transfer the license. In fact with Vista, originally it was a one time transfer option; it has been amended to unlimited transfers as long as you uninstall the previous installs. Back...

    Filesystems Say-wha?

    I can barely get past the file based part. It reads kind of odd. 1. Not all file systems are file based. 2. And because of this we want you to reverse engineer it. Funny. Maybe this is just one of those statements designed to throw you for a loop. It is possible that they are...

    Managed T1 and dedicated VPN speeds

    Did I say no IPSEC? They could be using IPSEC to encrypt the PPP tunnel, but probably using RSA (MPPE). Either way I know it's 128bit. Good info jpochedl, I really appreciate it. I will check with the ISP to see if I can get some utilization data. I have already tried MRTG on those...

    hosts file, wildcards?

    Sorry. It was meant to be a bit of a joke. As in make it so that she cannot resolve anything, except what you allow her to resolve. You cannot use wildcards in host files that I know of; beyond subdomains. You can use wildcards in DNS, but not like you would like i.e. *games*. It would be...

    Windows 2k3 Server: Folder Quotas

    Veritas Storage Exec. Evidently they expanded on disk quotas for 2003 in R2, though I have not played with it yet. Look here. http://blogs.msdn.com/adioltean/archive/2005/07/01/434790.aspx

    hosts file, wildcards?

    BIND. Just build a little FreeBSD box and load bind. Free and works well. If you want an easy way to edit it load webmin as well.

    hosts file, wildcards?

    Here is an option. 1. Find out what she needs to access from her manager. 2. Remove her DNS servers from TCP. 3. Enter the allowed resolves in her host file.

    Gigabit Networks and 100 Mbps Devices

    The gigabit switch would only be more efficient if it had a more efficient chip/bus. Or a better negotiation function. Either way you are not looking at anything near 20% at all... unless you have a really bad switch to begin with.

    Internal Network Firewall Best Practice?

    Best practice would be to use RDP over SSL. If the other admin knows what he is doing he can pipe his files through any port you give him.

    Security Certification

    For study materials, the CBT Nugget videos are very good. I have used them successfully for MCSE+M, Linux+, CCA and VCP. I also watched the Certified Ethical Hacker series(although I will never take that test). The vids are a tad pricey, but you could possibly convince your cheap-a$$...

    Certain Access on one PC slow or not possible...

    I have not read your other post on the issue and it sounds like you have tried a lot of things. So I am sorry of some of these are redundant. The fact that it runs fine in the VM rules out the NIC hardware to a point; in other words the host may be using more functions of the NIC than the...

    Backing up Image of HD over network

    Look into some of the tools on the Ultimate Boot CD. There are several drive cloners that are included. http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/

    Backing up Image of HD over network

    DriveImageXML is Free and can be run off of Bart's WinPE boot disc, which supports USB. http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm DriveImagerXP can run off of the Ultimate Boot CD, which I think supports USB. http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/drvimagerxpsetup_2.2.html
