I have spoken with both of the networking teachers... one seems a little hesitant to tell me it's not going to be overwhelming, while the other is telling me to go for it and try my best. The later prof is very proactive about putting your mind to something and getting it done it seems like.

The setup they are wanting to go with is something similar to the following:

Every branch (6) will tie into the Main Office via T1 PTP lines using cisco routers at each end.

I have a lot of lab experience in setting up multiple subnets and routers to communicate, though I'm not sure how the CSU/DSU modems will play a part. I will have approximately a month to complete the entire project.

Is going through an ISP more confusing and complex than simply connecting multiple vlans?

ah that's awesome... i just bought the 226 model. I can't wait to see it... are they nice?

Hey everyone,

I have been offered a full-time job over the summer at my workplace. They told me I could work full-time if I thought I could set up a WAN from our main office to the 6 satelite offices via T1 lines.

I am very comfortable doing this on a LAN; that is, connecting numerous networks/routers not using internet.

I am in semester 2 of the cisco networking academy and will be taking all 8.

Is setting up a WAN a whole lot different than setting up numerous LANs? I have ~1.5 years experience as the network administrator at my work, though I'm not sure if I'm prepared for a project of this scale. Could someone honestly let me know if I would be getting in over my head?

Thanks. ;)

bah, that was me... she had logged on to her account on my computer :p

Ok, well I've changed my option to an nVidia card; the geforce 7850 GT/ko

but I am having a hard time with monitors... i'm noticing a brightness of 280cd and 300cd... is there a big difference?

Also, I am probably going to buy a refurbished monitor, which comes with factory waranty... bad idea?

great, thanks!

I will mainly be playing FFXI

Hey everyone,

I'm planning on purchasing a computer today, but wanted to get some input first.

I've heard stories of people not being able to play games on their widescreen monitors because it stretches the characters and whatnot... is this so?

I plan on getting an openbox viewsonic vx2245wm (maybe) and an ati radeon x1950 xtx (probably)

Could someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks!

You need to be a bit more specific. What did you expect from your code and what kind of behaviour is it displaying as of now...

Oh and btw, taking a look at your code, I see that you have used floating point variables as your loop variables which is as such deemed to show behaviour you least expected. This is because of the way floating point numbers are internally represented. Read this.

Consider switching to an integer loop variable.

I'm not sure which loop variables you are referring to.
Here is my modified code, which looks like it is giving a valid output.
The code is supposed to do the following:

1) Find the final balance after 'x' amount of years with a 'y' compound interest rate

2) After 'x' years + 1, find the interest earned that year

3) Find the amount alloud to withdrawl each month (if only extracting from interest earned that year)

I was originally getting numbers with an e-0.044 for newPrin and whatnot... I posted a current sample of what my output looks like (slightly modified for printing purposes).

thanks for the input mark! You've really put a new view on what I've said. I appreciate it a lot.

I've been looking at Masters programs and came across this. Has anyone heard of this degree/college?

eh, i'm just joking... i got like 16sec or something. :D

Ok, so what do I do after lvl 6? it just quit.

the phrase "I've got a bug in my computer" was coined by Grace Hopper in 1945, when her computer began acting erroneously. She did in fact find a bug in her computer... a moth.

I don't have a prefered keyboard, as I've been without a desktop for going on a year now. Even with a desktop, I've used cheap boards. With my new pc, I will be purchasing a comfort Microsoft keyboard (hopefully).

As for the best mouse... well.. no contest. Anything from RazerZone is considered top of the line in my book. As of now I have the Razer Diamondback and I love it! I've heard of people purchasing these mice and selling them on eBay because of the high sensitivity, but lately I've taken advantage of the sensitivity and also taken my laziness to the next level, only having to move a couple inches to click anywhere on my screen... Incredible! If you go to the site, I'm sure any gamer will be persuaded, as these are engineered for gaming and you will have a very tough time finding any competition for these guys.

interesting thread... i agree with Dave and yourself a lot.

For now though, since I've only been in C++ for almost 2 months... a good amount of commenting will help me to go back and look over previous codes.

thanks

hey everyone,

I am including my code and was wondering if there is a prefered way to document?

I have comments which describe what does what, but I'm wondering if there is a neater and/or more efficient way to do it...

hardware raid controller

SAS drives

well I think this is the final configuration we're going to go with.

CPU - Pentium Dual-Core 2.4GHz? (800FSB)
RAM - 4GB (4x1024mb) 533Mhz
HDD - RAID 1 on two ~140GB 15,000rpm drives
OS - CentOS
Price: ~$1700

What do you guys think?

We're not quite sure what board software to go with. I like vBulletin (because this site runs off it and DaniWeb pwnz ;P) but I'm also assuming that if you pay for your software it's more user friendly.

Anyone know where I can get tutorials on how to use Apache?

Hey everyone,

We have a UNIX DecAlpha here at work, and I need to change the IP on it.

Could someone tell me how to do this through command line?

Thanks!

:mrgreen:

bump*

shucks... =(

I really need gpmc... it's so hard to apply gps without it.

I have no clue how to even... all I was taught was using gpmc

I'm deffinately feeling CentOS... is it user friendly?

I have little/no experience with any *nix, but my buddy (who is going to be working on the project as well) has good knowledge on distros such as SuSE and SlackWare

Actually scratch that...

Does anyone know how to schedule outlook to automatically backup to a .pst?

so how do you

remotely manage Group Policy objects on 64-bit domain controllers.

?

i suppose so

i would use fedora instead though. SuSEs updater is kinda broken and its a memory hog

Even better, use CentOS (free version of Red Hat Enterprise)

ah, interesting...

also. will vbulletin run on linux?

66 views... 11 votes... anyone else see the dicrepancy?

here is a system i customized... could you put your thoughts in?
I had the option of Fedora and SuSE.

I figure if we're going to use apache anyways, the OS isn't really a big deal.
