• 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.

    Why does XP do this?

    You have to go into the registry and delete nvidia nforce network controller #2 , #3 and the root one before it will not do that. Do this at your own risk. Technically, it shouldn't hurt anything to leave it but nvidia nforce network controller #99 does look pretty bad.

    Why is ISP blocking port 5000 for "security reasons"

    I use them and www.ordb.org as well to block spam. Mail-abuse.org is better but they charge now. Also, Optonline's entire netblock(s) are in my personal blacklist due to the HIGH volume of spam my users were getting. ISPs don't do anything until someone threatens to lighten their wallets...

    Help with Cisco PIX 506E VPN config

    You might also setup a log server and capture it to a file. Then set the logging level to informational to be sure that nothing strange is happening in the access-lists. I don't see ISAKMP or IPSEC in the access-list but it shouldn't be needed for a tunnel that ends on the PIX. I've got tons...

    Cisco 2514 question

    I believe the 2514 has only one RAM stick. We put two 8M FLASH sticks in all of ours. Oddly enough, RAM isn't really a big issue for the most part, everything runs from FLASH. If FLASH size is an issue, I think you can boot from a TFTP and run that way. Never tried it but I seem to recall...

    Using CMD for UNC

    The net use command should work just turn the "/" around so that they are "\" so it is the opposite of what a URL looks like. We use net use, net start, net stop in lots of startup scripts to map drives and printers when we departed the world of Novell.

    Problems with WRT54G and DHCP?

    If all else fails, give it a static IP, GW and netmask to see if it can see the other PC's on the network. If that works, you know it isn't hardware, just software. As a kludge, that will work although not elegant. I've even seen giving a static and then changing back to DHCP work because it...

    Advice for LAN and WIFI setup

    In my experience, you can do cheap or right, not both. Cheap is a kludge and right costs money. There are wifis that restrict access to certain hours. I know my WRT54G has that and I believe the WRT54GS (for speed boosted) will also do some sort of service for porn blocking. Depending on...

    Linksys BEFSR41 Router... help!

    What appears to have happened is that now that your ISP has bumped up the bandwidth to the point that you are seeing some real load. Before, when it was capped lower, I'd bet they were seeing less than 50% utilization. Now that everyone has bandwidth to spare, it is getting closer to saturating...

    getting around isp proxy?

    UAE is also a spam haven because the one ISP (government owned? very spam friendly or ignorant) will not secure their network and/or filter the spam. They filter all the immoral inbound crap but can't filter all the GDMF outbound Viagra and Cialis and porn spams! People I've dealt with in the...

    wrt45g.

    We, literally, cut the shrink wrap and plopped down a brand new, never flashed, never configured router and, let me be clear, IT DID NOT EXHIBIT ANY VULNERABILITY. Am I clear? We have several. It is part of the job to scan them periodically for weakness, vulnerability and/or unauthorized...

    wrt45g.

    Here's the link to the article on slashdot.org and I don't get it. WTF? We took a brand new one out of the box and it absolutely did not exhibit any WAN weakness or vulnerability. We also tested my older v1.0 and it has no problems. Can anyone make sense of this and why they'd disparage an...

    wrt45g.

    I've been using the latest publically available version, Firmware Version: Samadhi2 - v2.00.8.6sv and it is some serious stuff. The cool part is that its Linux based and if you be sharp, you can mod it yourself. I'm not that sharp but I know this stuff is nice. It can do https to manage it...

    Linux ICA thin client

    Don't ask for much do you? To run X, you will have to have something decent just to get the graphic display up. The brutal reality is you want older, not newer software. Any old copy of redhat version 4-5ish will probably do what you want. Then you can download the production ICA client that...

    Snort on switchs

    Just mirror the ports you want to monitor then. If the only traffic you want to monitor goes to the server, just monitor that port. I agree, KISS! This is why you should never let an art student design a network! This is also why network engineers can't make a living sculpting. <Just...

    Snort on switchs

    IMO, port mirroring only mirrors a single port. I've used VLAN monitoring before with good success. Use this on the port that has the monitor device: port monitor vlanx There is also something called remote switchport analyzer but I've not used that. There are plenty of examples on...
