    Using Win8 Box as Home Network Router

    In case anyone else wants to go down this route: I ended up using Win8 Pro to run a home file server (and Plex Media Server) with a bunch of disks in a Storage Spaces array. I'm also running the pfSense firewall in an Oracle VirtualBox environment. I setup pfSesne to operate as an OpenVPN...

    Can't get IP from DSL Modem / changing routers, NICs

    Interesting...I've never had to login to the broadband. More importantly, I looked through the entire Actiontec set of menus and the active "Broadband Connection" is listed as "Ethernet". If I view the settings for "WAN/PPPOE", the status is "disabled". My understanding is that Verizon...

    Thanks - I wasn't really familiar with pfsense, and running that in a virtual machine seems like the perfect solution. I am definitely going to play around with that and see how it works.

    Advice Needed: Upgrade CPU or GPU?

    Thanks for the input - as much as the Q6600 has bee good to me, I think it's time to retire it. I really don't want to wait for Broadwell, especially since I'm not sure the performance delta will justify the price premium when it comes to gaming.

    HELP: Can't send email in Outlook through GMail

    Turns out it wasn't a settings or firewall issue. I went into the add-ins menu and ultimately found that Outlook had auto-disabled some DLL. When I re-enabled it and restarted Outlook, I was able to send messages again. I have no idea why that happened, but I'm back in business now. Best, A

    Is the sauna just as good as the treadmill for heart health?

    The reason your heart rate goes up in the sauna is that the heat causes your blood vessels to open up (dilate) to allow heat to leave the body. Unless your heart beats faster your blood pressure would drop significantly and you would pass out. As long as your blood vessels stay so...

    Is the sauna just as good as the treadmill for heart health?

    I realize the answer to this question is "no" but I am hoping for a good explanation. As I understand it, the cardio benefits of exercise come from elevating your heart rate, so that over time it can pump more strongly, efficiently, and has to pump fewer times to circulate the same amount of...
