This is a really good point. Just the other day a displayPort died in my Sager 9752 and I will be mailing it back to Sager so that they can replace the 980M. Having onsite tech would have been real nice so as to avoid the loss of time with the machine. I am making a backup of my machine right...

I can speak to the Sager 9752 as well. I've had mine for about two months and so far it has been a solid machine. I got the 9752 as a desktop replacement and threw in the extra money for the Samsung XP941 NVMe SSD which is stinkin' fast, even with Bitlocker (974 MB/sec sequential reads & 812...

I thought they very same thing when I ordered by Rosewill mechanical keyboard with the Cherry Brown keys. Since my keyboard would stay on my desk how bad could it be? Six months later I was RMA'ing the keyboard. NewEgg states that the new batch of Rosewill keyboards have fixed the weak USB...

The response I got from the automated system when I e-mailed [email protected] was this: I can still download the only other O'Reilly eBook that I've purchased, "The Art of Capacity Planning." Made me chuckle.

Fellow Acronis TI Home user. I've been using Acronis since version 7 and have had a good experience up until Acronis 2010 TI Home on Vista 64 Ultimate. Attempting to run backups would simply hard lock my machine. Uninstalled 2010 and went back to Acronis TI 11 and it has been working just...

I am running pfSense 1.2.2 on a old HP d530 P4 2.8 GHz with 512 meg DDR RAM with a 2 gig CF and CF-to-IDE adapter. I'm running with the stock Broadcom gigabit WAN and an el cheapo Realtek gigabit for LAN and an even cheaper ($1.90 at Fry's pre-tax) Realtek 10/100 NIC for my FiOS VoD...

I was able to run Hyper-V on my quad xeon laptop at my last job without any issue. If your proc supports virtualization tech, it _should_ be good to go. But I believe that Hyper-V is only with the 64-bit version of Windows 2008. I was using Windows 2008 Standard 64-bit and was able to make...

Just wanted to follow up with my problem just in case somebody else ever has a similar problem. I eliminated the DLink DI-604 by adding in another 100 Mbit/s NIC (that I got at Fry's today for a whoppin' $1.90. Sure, it's a cheap Airlink Realtek rl0 but it'll never see the high side of 15...

Since I was using the option of DMZ Host the keyword of NAT wasn't triggered in my brain. Yeah, double NAT'ing can do some strange stuff.

Ok. The problem lies between the DLink DI-604 and the pfSense box. When I connected the FiOS RJ45 directly into the pfSense box and setup the WAN with PPPoE credentials I was able to fire up Steam normally. I even blew away the firewall rules I had created and went back to the stock NAT...

Damn all you people for having systems that work as planned! :) I'm wondering if it has something to do with my D-Link DI-604 and my pfSense box (and previous FreeBSD ipf firewall which was completely different hardware)? My neighborhood was the second neighborhood in Texas to get FiOS so...

Here is a further example of what I am seeing. I blew away the ClientRegistry.blob file and Steam will update itself just fine. But I still can't log in behind the pfSense box. Go around the pfSense box and I'm golden. *sigh*

Logging in is my problem. I specify user account and password and get this: There is just enough network communication (that I've seen with wireshark) that Steam knows it can contact something and doesn't offer to go into Offline mode. If I bypass the pfSense box and plug directly...

What I mean to communicate was that I did not have any NAT rules setup for the Steam TCP/UDP ports.

Here are my current settings as of right now: And it is still no joy for me. :(
