  1. Looks awesome, it would be dream to bring to a LAN party.
  2. Yeah, that advise was not very good. If you actually did that part of the internet would be inaccessible and you would be bashing your head against it for days.
  3. I would see if you can find anyone that has tested them on at least Windows 7-8, vista is going back pretty far and drivers are something that can be really finicky.
  4. Fiber Channel is NOT the same thing as Ethernet, this cards do use Fiber optic cables as Ethernet can, but your OSes have to support the Fiber Channel Protocol. I would think that both of those OSes wouldn't have an issue with it though. Just double check to make sure that those cards have drivers for Win10 and Server 2012
  5. You would not be able to join the domain created by the server with "home" editions of windows. This means you will not be able to centrally authenticate. You would be able to access shares, but it wouldn't be as "clean" because you don't have domain credentials attached to your windows login so you have to set the mapped drive to "Remember Password" or w/e it is.
  6. Both devices would have to support Fiber Channel, and that card specifically, but yes.
  7. Yeah, i have google fiber and an edgerouter lite can easily handle the full gig of throughput. under 100$ for a router that can handle a full gig of throughput with firewall rules and etc going is unheard of in the business world.
  8. Not true. A router is a device that routes packets from one network to another. They have nothing to do with wifi. Wifi access points (APs) are put in consumer routers to make your general consumer happy. A consumer router is really three devices: Wifi Access Point Router Switch Many "business-grade" routers will not have more than 2 ports, WAN and LAN. And if they do have more than two ports its for more than 1 LAN network. i.e. WAN, LAN, LAN2. EDIT: Additionally, a modem is a completely separate and different device that modulates and demodulates signals from another source i.e. demodulates DSL signaling into standard Ethernet protocols. Sometimes in the consumer space all four of these devices will be integrated into a single unit. However, in the business space all of these devices are their own discrete devices.
  9. Edgerouters are pretty awesome. I give them to clients, and recommend them to people that want to take full advantage of their Google Fiber speeds (the default google router is bad). EDIT: Also, i believe currently they are using pfsense, which is another excellent option.
  10. Haha, i live near you! I have Google Fiber though. EDIT: See sig for the details. EDIT 2: I also use to have veracity, and use to work for a company that did the T1 tech support for veracity.
  11. Best you can hope for is around 200$ for each NIC and at least 800-1000$ for a switch. What's the application for this? Maybe it's better fit not going 10gb, or better fit for something like fiber channel?
  12. 1. Business internet connections with a SLA (Service-Level Agreement) don't come cheap, so i believe 1.3k/mo. 2. My work pays 600/mo for a 80/80 connection with a SLA, and they're located just a few miles from Google Fiber. 3. 2Gb/s both ways on comcast? lol, i doubt any of us will live to see the day. And at 300/mo? Right.... EDIT: Also, pfSense is awesome. Been around forever, super stable, tons of features.
  13. Awesome. I want to bring my network up to 10gb so bad.
  14. I use opendns all the time, and have clients using opendns for company web filtering. I have never had a problem with it. Also, opendns will do nothing to effect your ping times, or internet speed (though it may increase/decrease page load times while the dns server responds to your browser with the site's IP address, if your DNS server is really terrible). DNS has nothing to do with much of what you're complaining about anyways.
  15. No. It's publicly known that many of the "secure" nodes are ran by 3 letter agencies (FBI, and etc).
  16. Redhat running ontop of KVM/ESXi in a large multi-OS environment.
  17. I have 4 servers. Dedicated pfsense router. ESXI - Primary E3 Xeon, 32gb of ram ESXI - Backup E3 Xeon, 32gb of ram NAS - 20TB of storage on freenas I host Plex(for friends and family), game servers, web servers, database servers, automatic downloading servers (usenet), file servers, and etc.
  18. Belkin routers are horrible. I use to work ISP support and many issues were caused by a customer going down to the big box store and buying a shit belkin router. I have told customers to return the router to the store, if they just bought it, and called to get help setting it up.
  19. Setting up Active Directory, or another Directory service would do the job.

  21. Why do you need it to be HIPAA compliant? And it should be enough to be compliant, though there may be some kind of base encryption standard you're suppose to use.
  22. You can use Ubuiquit nano bridge equipment: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0ED-0005-000H4&cm_re=nano_bridge-_-0ED-0005-000H4-_-Product Or if the distance is less than 100m end-to-end use outdoor rated ethernet cable.
