Check out Fortigate product. FortiNet offers documentation on setup of their firewalls for PCI DSS compliance: https://help.fortinet.com/fos60hlp/60/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-compliance/PCI-DSS.htm?Highlight=PCI They office a subscription service whereby they manage patches/updates for their firewalls as well as monitoring (specifically, Logging, to me it really isn't monitoring) in order to match the "managed firewall" checkbox. Now, I only have a little experience with Fortigate's as we just installed one in our data center as we have a customer requesting us to be compliant (for no apparent reason other than they want us to be, we do not store credit card data and do any processing via https web site)

@WrCombs said in Windows 10 Reboots: So it was not a windows issue - It was the software running two or more instances of our mobile software at one time after a refresh. What was happening was the software would restart, then try to open 2 or more at the same time causing the system to error and restart to try to clear it it's self. Made changes to the settings in the system config files and have tested with 3 different refreshes today - It has not rebooted once. Thanks for all the help with figuring this one out. I think i've gained a wealth of knowledge from this thread. to expand on this - the back office becomes one of the "terminals" as an interface. When the refresh was happening the "back office terminal" was the culprit.

@WrCombs said in Yet another Communication issue....: @scottalanmiller said in Yet another Communication issue....: When troubleshooting on the network, always start at the bottom and work up. Start with a ping to the IP (not the hostname.) Then ping the hostname. Then nslookup the hostname. These basic steps tell you what is working and what isn't. Don't hop around, use progressive testing and you'll get to answers really quickly. That's good advice, We usually start with Aloha based issues such as the control service running on Server, any files telling it to stop, that sort of thing. Then we move to Windows/networking. If you know other things are working, you can move up the "stack" to where you can guarantee success. Like if you are transferring files, you know ping works.

There is also an "I can't even thread" that is updated regularly. Maybe it is time to add that as its own category.

WTF is up with this sort order. Is it supposed to be like the recent updated post? or by when the thread was created? Not recent or there would have been an unread post on top. Gotcha

@wrx7m said in Solved - Dark reading - Add RSS Feed to Outlook 2016???: @scottalanmiller said in Solved - Dark reading - Add RSS Feed to Outlook 2016???: @wrx7m said in Solved - Dark reading - Add RSS Feed to Outlook 2016???: Weird. I was trying to add it from my home computer and when I got to work this morning, it was there and had populated it with the feed. Dark [feed] Magic LOL - I was thinking it was because the link was asp not xml but I guess it didn't matter after all. ASP just means that it is a site using MS ASP technology to generate the page, just like PHP, ASPX and others. ASP is a reference to an application platform. What ASP generates as output is text, like HTML or XML. ASP, though, was last used around 2002. That's VBScript, most likely.

Nvm, answered my own question here.

@thwr said in Dell iDrac still requires Java: @travisdh1 said in Dell iDrac still requires Java: @thwr said in Dell iDrac still requires Java: @JaredBusch said in Dell iDrac still requires Java: I have not needed to use the iDRAC console in a couple of years now, and I had not realized that I still had to have f'n java installed in order to use it. WTF.... Pretty much the same for every kind of remote console, be it on an IBM, Dell or SuperMicro server or on an Aten IP KVM. PITA, big, nasty PITA. How many of us have a VM on our workstation just for this? I know I do, and it's hard to get much smaller than we are and still need any IT. Yup, using a VM for this. Yet another system to maintain. I have a machine or VM (depending on client) running Veeam already so I drop java on that via chocolatey.

@scottalanmiller said in I can't even: @travisdh1 said in I can't even: English manufacturer thinks a network switch needs to be improved to handle audio better. https://www.whathifi.com/news/chord-company-revives-english-electric-debuts-network-switch Wow, that's a complete scam. It's amazing how much equipment in the digital audio space is targeted at selling "analogue fixes" to digital systems in the hopes that the customer doesn't know what digital is or how it works. It's a huge market. Yeah just like so much of the monster stuff.

@FiyaFly said: I have Centurylink at home. I can do a quick check from there when I get home. Maybe unrelated, but I was having some severe issues with DNS a couple weeks back at home. I'll post more info on my findings tonight. Thanks.

This'll go well with my FCC Certified IEEE 802.3 compatible network cards.
