Redudancy between PPOE and Static Interface in Firewall

This articles explains how the FortiGate routes traffic with two static default routes depending on various combination of administrative distance, priority, and if a Policy Based Route is present. Description Network scenario used for this example :                      [          FortiGate         ] [ PC ] -- LAN ------   [ switch           port16 ]   --- ISP1 (192.168.182.0/23) (10.160.0.0/16)        [                  port13 ]   --- ISP2 (172.31.224.0/23) Note   : the " priority " parameter is used in situation where a static route needs to be present in order to accept incoming traffic and pass the RPF check (anti-spoofing). Please check related articles for more details. Preferences   : Priority   preference   : lowest value is preferred for the routing table Distance   preference : lowest value is preferred for the routing table Scope All FortiGate model FortiOS 4.1 and above. NAT mode only Solution Scenario 1 : same distance ,

Transfer Outlook Express Message Rules

Outlook Express's message rules are stored entirely in the Registry. This tweak will transfer those rules to another machine, wiping out existing rules on the target machine.  On each machine, you will have to determine the correct subkey of the HKCU\Identities key. Select each in turn and check the Username value in the right-hand pane. Substitute the value there for identity in the key below. HKCU\Identities\identity\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail Action: Select the key and choose Export from the Registry menu. With Win NT 4.0, use the REGEDIT4 format. Open the REG file in WordPad and use Search/Replace to replace the source identity string with that of the target. Delete the above key on the target machine using the target identity string. Move the resulting REG file to the target computer and launch it.
