What software are you using?

She's new too me and all I need is a new video card to make her purr! I really want to be able to play Ghost Recon Wildlands, Mass Effect Andromeda, and the one I want the most is Battlefront II!

She's not much, but she's mine. HP Pavilion, I7 6600U, 12GB RAM, Nvidia 940MX. Best of all, only cost $250 brand new.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have one more Windows 7 machine to deploy and then I can concentrate on that machine. Stupid question here, as long as it's on the same subnet, would it matter if the IP is a 169.254.x.x? I need to make sure that the graphic arts people can still send stuff to the...

Its a work network. There is one machine in the print shop that controls the big Konica printer and it runs on XP. There is no reason for it to have internet access nut systems on the LAN need to access it.

I'm wondering if there is a way to block an XP machine from seeing/being seen from the internet nut still have full access to the LAN?

The next time my wife gives me crap for buying something on sale I'm just going to show her this. I am in your debt my friend.

Long story as short as I can make it. I'm trying to take an image of my Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 and make a virtual machine out of it. I booted the Cuda from the Acronis True Image 2013 recovery media and made a full disc image. I then made a new VM and had it boot from an .ISO of the...

That's very good to know. I'm going to start looking for some guides to do an image of it.

We have around 450ish boxes right now. After I spoke with Barracuda support and we made it where I can access the interface I was able to run some reports. It filters, on average, about 20 thousand messages a day. I'm really leaning towards trying to image a new hard drive or just making a...

They never paid for the replacement program so it's gonna cost regardless. I'm leaning towards going with the replacement but the owner will have kittens if I don't come to him with a few options. I would really love to just migrate the whole mess to Google Apps, but at $50 an address there...

Some of you may have seen me bemoan my slow as hell Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 here before. I finally got in touch with the support folks and it runs a little better now buuuuuut, now it seem that the hard drive in the device is failing. They have offered to replace it for $1500 and our...

Very nice! What was the foil that you used to cover the rack with?

I'm not sure if this as at all possible but I wanted to throw it out there in case it is. I'm testing Windows 8 now and when I loaded it I logged in using my personal Microsoft account. What I would like to do is join the VM to my domain and login using my domain account but also have my...

Does OpenDNS provide hosting for zone files? I looked into Google and they said that they don't.
