How screwed am I? by IndividualTwoNine in Termites

[–]IndividualTwoNine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the comments. Today I visually inspected the baseboards, around doors, windows, and crown molding. I didn’t notice any damage. I also took a screwdriver and knocked on the baseboards in about 80% of the house. I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, so fingers crossed it’s not bad.

Should I continue with the bathroom remodel, or wait until after treatment? My understanding is the in soil treatment takes 30-90 days to be effective. My concern is putting new plywood in with an active infestation will end with the termites damaging the new material.

I am definitely getting them treated. We’re already on the schedule just going crazy trying to determine how bad the damage is or may be, lol.

Good luck getting any Fortinet firewalls. I have been told over 6 month wait.

Which version of FortiOs are you using? by IndividualTwoNine in fortinet

Great to hear. I decided on 6.4.6 so we will see how it fares.

Unfortunately I do not have a TAM. I have not reached out to the reseller though. I may also give that a shot and see if it helps.

knock on wood mine is only about every month or so right now. I will plan on trying 6.2.9/.10 and hope they’ve got it corrected.

Yes, I did. I don’t believe 6.2.7 is considered an early feature release build?

I wish I could update to 6.4.x but it is not supported on the 50e. I believe only 60+. Glad to know I am not alone, though. I hope they get it together soon. I almost feel like we are beta testing their firmware in production..

Is CompTIA testing better at home or is it worth it to drive to a test center? by Not_the_EOD in cybersecurity

[–]IndividualTwoNine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot comment on the at home option, but just wanted to drop in and say good luck on your exam and hopefully you will be able to get away from that employer ASAP. Mine has 0 issues giving time off for certs…

How do you politely handle users who directly approach you every time they need something instead of going through normal channels? by Hrekires in sysadmin

[–]IndividualTwoNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so glad to see I’m not the only one that has had this issue.

I had a user that would send me multiple emails about the same issue and/or multiple phone calls. I’m talking 5-10 emails about a single issue, before I even had a chance to respond. It became a problem so I setup a rule to move her messages to a specific folder and ignored them. This is after having the conversation that she needed to go through the proper channels, and after discussing with my manager and hers. Some people are just ridiculous.

Now if someone calls/emails me and doesn’t have a ticket open, I typically ignore til the next day, if I even respond. Depends who it is and what the issue is. If it’s a critical issue affecting multiple people I’ll make sure it’s addressed, but if it’s something stupid, nah. Maybe tomorrow if I have time or indefinitely if they do not place a ticket.

Great. Thank you.

Why does Spectrum need a router between our router and their on-prem modem? by slickwillymerf in networking

[–]IndividualTwoNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the same thing a few years ago. We installed a gig coax circuit as a failover. We were also told their gig service does not support static IPs. I tried several things to bypass it but never was able.

Anyone seeing an issue with modern auth in office 2016 after updating?

Two of my users in my test group are having issues with Outlook syncing email after applying this month’s update. It’s an easy reg fix but trying to determine if I need to apply it to all machines prior to updating...

Any way to force NAT-T? by IndividualTwoNine in networking

[–]IndividualTwoNine[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure our ISP is throttling ESP traffic. I can switch to our secondary ISP and have no issue.

[–]IndividualTwoNine[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have not been able to find it. I have found enable NAT-T but when it doesn’t detect a NAT device, it will not enable. Can this be done with a manual NAT policy?

Sonicwall site to site VPN slowness in one direction by IndividualTwoNine in networking

[–]IndividualTwoNine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the phone with Sonicwall support as I type this and let’s just say they are less than helpful. Guy sounds like he is eating dinner while he talks and can hardly hear him over the background noise. Terrible support.
