LOL, I'm a Windows AD guy since 1996, well back then it wasnt AD....

:-)

It may be possible that a larger range of IPs from your ISP have been blacklisted. You should definately report this to your ISP. They need to follow the process to be removed from the blacklist.

What error are you encountering? Can you be more specific?

On ASP.NET controls, if you do not want for ASP.NET to generate unique control IDs, you can set the attribute on your web controls: ClientIdMode=Static

What you can do is create an account with a DNS provider that supports dynamic DNS. You would then have to run a client from within your network that can detect the current public IP address and it will update your DNS hostname. Then, for your program, you use the hostname not the IP so that you can always connect even if your IP changes.

Or contact your ISP and pay the extra few dollars per month for the static IP option.

You also have to configure your Internet router for port forwarding to allow the incoming packets into your network.

It just goes to show who here is active in social media, because I use it all the time: every single time I start a thread I use it, because if I have a question to ask, it helps to post in just one place and not just direct my question to the existing DaniWeb community but also to my friends and followers, who tend to also be in the industry and might know the answer.

It could be a male thing (or just me), but I think there is a hesitation to post on social media because you wouldn't want your social network to see you in the need of asking for help. I know it sounds silly. Posting on a forum keeps a person more anonymous.

So I think my confusion was that you used the word encoded. With regard to GET and HTTPS, the URL and its parameters are encrypted.

In any event, yes GET can be used with HTTPS.

That's a very broad and general question. What is it you are trying to do? Is this IP address for a host on an internal or external network?

Internal IPs are generated by the network administrator because the IP needs to be within the correct IP range. External (Internet) IPs need to be provided to you by your ISP.

Here's a hint.. Create a student table listing each student. Left join the tables and use the ISNULL function to replace the null value for Harry with a '0'.

It doesnt look like your domain name is setup correctly and propogated as of yet. DNS Watch, an online DNS tool reports...

What version of browser is giving you an issue. different browsers/versions use different properties to style the hr element.

Try adding the background-color property as well.

background-color: #990000;

so many people tried to ‘fake’ their way into IT jobs back in the day!

People still try. Its amazing to see when you are on an interview panel and people come in with a bunch of certification documents, and they have trouble answering basic questions. An applicant is better off coming into the inverview and being honest by saying that have limited or no experience, but have taken the time to go through a certification process because they are trying to learn and get their foot in the door. That would be more respectable and acceptable. When technical people are sitting on a panel, the "fakes" are evident within minutes of discussion.

That must have been horrendous for the companies that were hiring them. Did this happen primarily because of the whole Y2K problems?

Y2K was definately part of the equation. This also had to do with a booming IT industry. There were a lot of startups as well as companies investing in IT during this time.

that the IT industry was flooded with IT personnel, was that true?

Sure was... one organization that I know of well had rougly 800 IT staff, now they are around 575. Lots of money was spent during that time. New projects, lots of new servers, SAN storage, network upgrades, etc...

I’m going to heed your advice and not worry about certifications until I have my BSc.

You'll find that there are a lot of challanges in life. One thing that can never be taken away from you is your education. everything else comes and goes...money, relationships, jobs, stuff, etc...

Would you say that certifications are a good way to keep up with Industry changes in hardware and software?

Yes, most definately. A certification program can help you get focused and master a track if you really take it seriously. Once you become stale and stagnet in this industry, you will not be as valuable as an asset to your organization. I find that in this industry you must continue developing.

This development will consist of further education, reading books, self-training, and even helping on forums...

Certification was really big between 1998-2004. Everyone was promised high paying salaries after completing a 6 week boot camp program. Many people were becoming paper certified by getting access to exam dumps, memorizing questions and answers with no experience. Alot of organizations started to look at certifications with less value because people were being hired and they werent able to perform when they were finally on the job.

Not saying this is your scenario...I see that your situation is quite different.

I think that certification is a plus. For those that do not have the experience yet, my recommendation is that the focus should be on completing school work and getting their bachelors/masters degree and build up experience. Certification is icing on the cake by letting your employer know that you are serious about keeping up with the tecnologies.

Dont hold yourself back. While networking may be challenging for you now, it may not be in the future. All aspects of IT are all integrated one way or another. You can be even more proficient in SQL, if you are very familiar with networking. Same goes with programming and scripting...you'll write better T-SQL.

I'm not saying certification is a waste of time, on the contrary, its another tool for you to continue developing your career. I have many IT related certifications.

How can anyone help you without seeing your code?

Do you have this site online?

Wow, you didn't even try to be slick about getting help with your assignment. Good luck with getting someone to do your work for you.

Since you've provided no code, its difficult to provide specific guidance to solve your issue.

However, take a look at this example, you should be able to adapt to your needs...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<table id="table1"><tr><td>Test</td></tr></table>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Find ID</button>

<script>
function myFunction(){
  var x=document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0];
  document.write(x.getAttribute("id"))
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

You can copy/paste the above code in this Online HTML Editor to see the results...

Ladis,

As you can imagine, helping you build a site via a resonse in a thread is not realistic. In addition, you may find that various members of this site have strengths in different areas of web development so asking a general question like "help be create this site" isnt going to result in getting much help.

You are better off, doing some research, start building the site and as you run into challanges, come back, post some of your code that you are having trouble with, and get help. Then go back build some more, come back, open a new thread and get more help.

Every once in a while, stop for a moment, and give someone else some help.

following that advice is more likely to get you to your goal.

Rather than setting up a multi boot system, I'd recommend that you install windows 7 as the hist, then install a virtualization app such as virtualBox. You can run windows XP as a guest VM. This is a much simpler approach. You can run both OSs at the same time and when you are done with your VMs, its as simple as deleting the guest VM files.

When you multiple a number closer to 1 the change is scale is smaller. So for example, when you make it bigger, multiplying 1.01 would produce a smaller change than 1.1.
