It certainly sounds like This software is a good solution for them, Phreebooks and Sugar both have most of those features but not all.

Personally I prefer "cobbled" together systems, being in the...

I do tend to stand on open-sources soapbox, but Phreebooks does have all those features. And I'd definately suggest a web-based system for anybody doing on-site IT work, just being able to provide...

Usually college courses are your best bet, or pursuing coptia and microsoft certifications. If you've been out of the game for long the certifications will help in a tight job market and they'll give...

I've used sugarCRM and Vtiger but they didn't have all the features I needed. Now I use Phreebooks: The interface isn't quite as elegant but it has all the features I've needed in my IT business. For...

Google earth is composed of aerial photos which are taken during specific seasons over the course of decades and then compiled together to create the larger images. Live feed would mean either a...

Sourceforge.net is a great place to find good open source tools, but you need to be looking for something specific because the site holds every kind of software.

If you're doing contract work now...

There's no one degree that employers want, it depends on the job and the employer. You need to look at what it is you really want to do and research what the best degree for that path is, if you're...

1. I'm not 100% on the GPA but it seems that you could probably leave it out as long as you have it available to provide. I don't think there's any particular reason though as it's only an extra six...

You didn't mention any good experience or education in programming, if you have that background it's something to consider but I'm under the impression that programming is the focus where employers...

An associates degree doesn't count for much with employers in most markets but it you use it as the first two years of a bachelors degree there's no problem. The accreditation of the university you...

I'm considering new strategies to recruit clients for my Network services and IT consulting business. I've made a list of target businesses in my, relatively small, market and I had planned to send...

Go to the sites that sell the test vouchers. They'll give you information on available test centers and training institutions which you can contact directly looking for job openings.

I'm looking for an open-source (I could live with paid as long as it's not per-client licenses) that will allow me to create system restore disks. The situation is that I like to include restore...

Some, do, not all. I Know some assign a local IP adress, and some even have built in routers. That's why I said "standard", maybe I should have been more clear and said " I'm not sure if all". But...

If I remember correctly, there is an XP version but I had some problems setting it up, my system didn't like the virtual network driver :(.

There is a linux based router firmware called DD-WRT, I...

I"m still not sure which a standard modem actually does. It doesn't so much "assign" an ip address as just lends it's own IP adress to the one device connected. A serial dial-up modem certainly...

You don't need to do port forwarding TO a standalone server if it's the first thing on the network. If it's after a router you would, but you can just as easily have it be the first step from the...

That's exactly the point I was making. On a network with that layout there are acutually multiple gateways. A server that shares internet access to a network is just as much a gateway as the modem...

You have two options, either a VPN enabled router, or build a fire-wall box with VPN. look into open VPN, it would let you set up one firewall system on LAN2 as the primary, and the other 2 would...

I'll give you that one, I was thinking about this from a desktop perspective where whatever is shown as the "gateway" is handling NAT to the device. But your NAT device can have a gateway too (and...

Seriously, DHCP is a component (usually the primary component) of NAT. NAT is a general term describing the translation between a WAN IP and Local IP in IPV4 (not needed in IPV6). DHCP assigns IP...

DHCP IS what translates trafic between one network to another, and what allows two unrelated networks to interface via WAN.

Yes you can establish if you have a router or switch just by looking at...

I use google apps for my mail. All features of Gmail at my own domain. It doesn't love dial-up, so you'll either have to use a mial client or set HTML to be the default.

The disk will probably work, but it's not just version (home, pro, MCE) it also has to be the same product type (OEM, Retail, Upgrade) and service pack. Be careful not to start an install with the...

Like I mentioned right off, without anymore information network configuration is the only thing that we can be sure is relevant. But really anything that comes to mind would be worth brushing up on.

Networking, The job posting isn't clear enough to be able to brush up on a specific server-side subject but, knowing how servers communicate with each other is always valuable.

Brushing up on...

If none of the F8 options work, I don't know of any other options without having a system disk. I hope somebody else has an idea, but as far as I know you're going to need to get an XP disk or take...

I'm sure he will, but why should rational experienced members encourage it? I'd rather keep see it just fizzle out than watch us lower ourselves to escalate it.

Two options, If you didn't already try to use the "last known good configuration" that might do the job. Failing that you can do a "repair install" if you have the original system disk. This will...

Everybody just calm down. There was NOTHING threatening about Salems coment, just insulting. I'm not fond of that kind of response on a forum but it was not a threat, so save yourself a lot of...

I think, and could be wrong, that what he had in mind was a free or nearly free hosting service for his friends with minimal expense to him. I do something very similar to this, I host several free...

There are any number of ways to do it:
1. Set up your own server at home, you probably have a dynamic IP address so you'll need to use a service like dyndns.org.
2. Get a reseller hosting account...

If it's working like that then all the way to the right must be "cable select".

I'm a little confused here, are you talking about one system or all of their systems (you used both tenses)? If...

Since you hear it through headphones too (to a lesser degree) it's something wrong with the sound card, either with the jack or the card itself. The reason it's more pronounced on the speakers is...

The easiest way is to just examine the network topography (what everything is plugged into) and see if you have a router. I doubt you do since the main practical difference between a router and a...

Check out Ispell. There are other tools for this but it's the first that came to mind.

Essentially you install it and it will automatically use spell-check in any text-field you're working in,...
