VPN and Windows Domain Questions

I always bring my firmwares up to date on any new appliance. :-) Thanks for the linky. Once I dive in, I may have more questions, but you have definitely given me some direction. I do have one more question, while I am thinking about it. Is there anything special that I need to do to the...

VPN and Windows Domain Questions

Thanks for the input! They just bought an ASUS RT-AC88U. I assume that should work fine?

VPN and Windows Domain Questions

I'm helping out a family member with their small business. I'm trying to help them set up a VPN to some shared directories on their server. They want to be able to access their stuff as if they were in the office when they are at home or on the road. Ideally, they would want a mapped network...

EA Games Rootkit - Pando Media Booter

Hmm, maybe EA either pulled the Pando version of the NFS:W client or perhaps it was a planned test run to see how it behaved in the wild. I truly hope that this is the case and we don't have to see the likes of this shady p2p client again from EA.

I'm happy that your Pando showed up for you in the control panel, it didn't for me. I didn't make a blanket statement saying that Pando isn't in the control panel for anyone, I merely said that it wasn't there for me. I assure you that it wasn't a PEBKAC.

Like I said previously, just because LOTRO or LoL uses Pando doesn't mean they are using it in the same way EA is.

What country are you in? People on the NFS:W forums are saying that the usage of Pando vs Akamai might differ by country due to laws. Also, once again, there has already been confirmation with a bunch of people on EA's forum that Pando is installed with the game. There is also a chance that some...

EA Games Rootkit - Pando Media Booter

I can confirm that there was no icon in my control panel on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. The only place Pando showed up was in the task manager as PMB.exe and under Programs and Features as Pando Media Booster. I have also already confirmed that Pando was utilizing ALL available upload bandwidth...

Akamai is what NFS:W used to use. New installations of NFS:W use Pando Media Booster as of October. This has already been confirmed. I honestly cannot tell if you are trolling or just being a jerk.

No, its not the end of the world. But, it is more expensive for people with data usage caps (like me!). Yes, let this be a lesson learned for everyone to double check what's running in the background after installing software. However, that still doesn't change the fact that Pando Media Boosters...

Yes, shame on everyone for trusting in big name publishers like EA, Turbine (Warner Bros.), etc. to not install random crap that runs in the background that eats our bandwidth. Shame on us. Just to show how legitimate LOTRO is with their TOS, here is what it reads: From...

Show me the section that it says it will make your internet connection almost unususable due to it being designed to utilize, not just some bandwidth, but all of the bandwidth available all the time. Going to their website to investigate is not the same as a separate window popping up during...
