Hey all, I recently received the comptia network + certification. I was working for a SMB with a dual role as estimator and sysadmin. I was just wondering if there is a huge benefit to getting the certification. Some say it doesn't mean much and that experience is everything. I find that...

I have a PFSense box that I use for a virtual network, is there any way that I can use PFSense in a virtual machine as my main LAN firewall, DHCP, etc? Thanks

I hope this is the right spot but I have a friend who wants to use a hotspot while travelling, I am not familiar with any good ones, do you guys have any recommendations. Thanks

I am wondering if one of these certifications is better than the other. I have studied pretty good on the Comptia side and I think I am close to ready to take to the test. I also have been reading a little bit on the CCNA cert. Do these go hand in hand or is one better? Thanks

I used express and love it, I probably won't ever switch. It's fast and reliable.

I knew I shoulda put that in there, Fallout series, Skyrim, Mass Effect 1 & 2, tried Witcher 3 but couldn't get in to however I hear it's well worth it.

I am looking for recommendations on an RPG, I am pretty open to most and I'd like to play something that I haven't before, please throw out some ideas. Thanks

I was having some issues with my switch not too long ago and I found out that my culprit was my DHCP settings. Do you have any devices on static assignment?

I'm a NETGEAR guy myself, I'd recommend the Nighthawk AC2600, how many devices are going to be attached?

Hey all, I am wondering if it is safe to create a VM that I can test phishing emails on. If it is possible what settings should I use on the VM to ensure safety, also should I use Linux or Windows or does that not matter? Thanks

Hey, Are there any good free SNMP monitoring apps for a network? I am slowly but surely transitioning into our Network Administrator role here at my job, we are a small company of about 25 computers in our office.

That's the problem. Nothing works on my computer anymore. Windows 8 was the original OS. My computer won't let me uninstall anything, no command prompt, no recovery tools. Nothing

I was in the insider program and wanted out. Once a selected to leave program, windows 10 reverted but now doesn't work. I can get to the desktop but that's it. My problem is I'm trying to reset the computer from the motherboard however, removing the CMOS chip and resetting the jumper is not...

My apologies for my previous post, is it illegal to put Mac OS on a PC? Also can I put certain program on my virtual box and not my regular PC. For example if I want to a program like Itunes on the VB and not the PC can I do that?

I recently bought a copy of the Mac OS, I am trying to run it through my Virtual box but I keep getting an error. Bios disk read error at sector: 00000011 Does anyone know how I can fix this?
