• 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.

    Barracuda dying need replacement

    Note that there's a difference between the XCS and XTM. The XCS is a dedicated anti-spam appliance, whilst the XTM is a multi purpose firewall, and I've yet to see one that does a good job at filtering spam :(

    Barracuda dying need replacement

    I'd go with a Wathcguard XCS170/370 depending on message load. Ironport is good, but expensive and that much better to justify it, IMO.

    Anti-Virus for SBS 2011?

    Do you want scanning of the Exchange store, or just file-system AV that can exclude the Exchange services from scanning (and not breaking them) ? Microsoft security essentials work on 2k8 and is free.

    I won't respond to this. You've registered for this thread and come here to defend PA - You're affiliated with them in some way. ", I will happily put you behind a PA firewall with only HTTP as allowed traffic " Do your marketing in some other way than on enthusiast forums, please.

    New Firewalls-Currently using Fortinet

    This describes how "NGFW" work, and their flaws http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2cz--bzZRE The PA firewalls were set up by the distributors of PA, best practices were followed (or so I'd hope from an official partner).

    New Firewalls-Currently using Fortinet

    I work as a security auditor and I've come across them a few times. The "application" is http (web) which is allowed from the client segment to the external one. The backdoor software mimics a regular web session, as per a user would do. The PA initially blocked the session, changing the...

    New Firewalls-Currently using Fortinet

    It can't block software from calling home, all it does is check the user-agent string for default, known payloads (meterpreter for example). Change it to Mozilla 4.0/something and it passes straight through their scanning. It's a decent firewall, but it's in no way better than anything else on...

    Correct, the file is for the nics. The latest bios file is 1.2a iirc.

    Low throughput - high cpu with intel 82574L

    You need to create a DOS (!?) boot disk to flash both the bios and ethernet firmware. 0) Take note of the mac-addresses of your nics, you will need them in step three 1) Create the boot disk http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/191416-dos-usb-boot-drive.html 2) Download this firmware file...

    Thanks for digging that up, but it made no difference unfortunately :(

    Low throughput - high cpu with intel 82574L

    I'm starting to doubt my memory, as I had slower drives before it wasn't something i'd notice during normal use. I'm fairly sure it wasn't there though. I'm typing up an email to supermicro to see if they have any clue. I'll report back.

    Low throughput - high cpu with intel 82574L

    Yup, doesn't matter what type of transfer. I've tested tcp,udp,ipv6 etc... It's bugging the heck out of me, as the system is capable of pushing the numbers out, just not in the other direction.
