    Do all of you put your logos on your resume?

    I put logos on my resume and cover letter. My philosophy is that a cover letter needs to attract attention, and a few logos looks a lot nicer to the eye than a page of plain text. Also when dealing with HR, they automatically see you have the relevent certifications, Why make them search through...

    Books for the new CCNA exam.

    Just out of interest, Ive spent a few days looking through the CCNA texts in stores, and here is what I gathered: 1) CCNA 2.0 All-In-One #640-507 (Robert Larson) Looks really easy to read, well explained. I really wanted to buy it for the read, but it looked like it really lacked the nitty...

    Books for the new CCNA exam.

    I think youre right, if the subject matter hasnt changed, then any of the old exam books would be fine. And just get hold of one of the router programs to practice with. I dont think the exam content has changed anyway, do the new 607 books cover any hints/tips on the router simulation...

    Books for the new CCNA exam.

    Hey, im buying a book so I can get stuck into the CCNA exam, unfortunately ive just realised that only a few of the book companies have updated their books for the new 640-607 exam. Im a little confused now, because I LOVE the All-In-One series books for the way they present complicated...

    Pinging but not able to browse

    Im not really sure on the proxy information, but just to check, can you ping DNS names? i.e. is this a browser setup issue or a DNS issue.

    The Fork in the Road

    I thought I would ask for some opinions on the division between Microsoft and other companies like Cisco and so on. It seems like there is a large division between working with MS products and the others. Now most back end servers dont run MS products. But most desktops do. I could be wrong...

    Windows XP MCSE Certification????

    Yeah you can take the XP Professional Test if you like. Depends what youre experience is like. I took the Win 2000 Professional instead, because I figure Server and subsequent Network exams are all based on the 2000 environment, so may aswell keep it uniform to avoid confusion between versions.

    Dual boot to 98 after installing XP first

    Wolluf, MS Support isnt all bad :). I had a dual-booting issue crop up with 2000 and XP. They did suggest that you should do it 'in the right order'. But they also provided a work-around, which was re-copying the boot files from the CD-ROM. Thats the only way I was able to find out why the boot...

    Dual boot to 98 after installing XP first

    There is a little bit of dodgy advise on this page, I highly reccomend just using the microsoft support website, and see for yourself. support.microsoft.com

    Dual Boot problem

    The fact that the XP partition isnt working, is evidence that it is the Active partition. If it wasnt, Win2000 would not have copied over its boot files when it was installed. Recopying the files from the XP-CDROM is what the MS Knowledge Base recommends. As for booting off the XP-CDROM, I...

    changing boot sequence ??

    Thats a BIOS setting. When youre computer restarts, youll see an option to go into BIOS or Settings (Usually you press 'Del'), in there youll find your options under Boot settings or something similar.

    Dual Boot problem

    The solution is to boot-up on the working Win2k partition, and put in the XP CD-ROM. I forget where on the CDROM, but you can grab the missing files, boot.ini, ntldr & ntdetect and copy them onto the root of your XP Partition. They will over-ride the win2k versions of these files, and it will...

    A+ Hardware Test Tip

    I agree with these sentiments. On the Network+ exam, what could have been nice clear photos (its 2002 for gods sake!) was actually some very ordinary line drawings. Also considering the cost of these exams vs microsoft's, I would expect a bit more.

    XP log on issue, please help! :o(

    What do you mean by automatically logging you out? Are you positive youre actually being logged in at all? Generally if you dont have a blank password, Win XP logs you in, without bothering you with the log-in screen. I think you probably knew that, but just making sure.

    win 2000 to 98 downgrade

    be a little careful. Having a machine (win2000 or otherwise) running on Fat32, means it cant be secured properly on a network, i.e. no NTFS permissions and I believe encryption too.

    Dual boot to 98 after installing XP first

    The correct answer is to install the older operating systems first yes, but since thats not always an option: To get your XP partition working; Boot up the working 2000 partition, put in the XP CD, and find the files 'boot.ini' 'ntldr' and 'ntdetect'. Select them and copy them onto the root of...

    Does the A+ Cert. Expire

    I doubt any employer would bother to check the current status of an A+ Cert. But with a Microsoft Cert, say an MCSE, then its a different story. I have to say, its a lot of effort to get/pass all those exams, Im gonna guess you wouldnt bother redoing those exams, until a couple of OS versions...

    How do I rectreate the Group "Power Users"?

    'Power Users' only exists on Workgroups, if youre operating a Domain, there is no Power Users Group. Also, unless there is a funky way I dont know of, you cant delete the built-in group/user accounts. It would be a frightening thought if you could.

    Two Identical NICs In The Same Computer?

    Just a guess, but is it a resource issue, IRQ conflict perhaps? I dont know what the consequences of having 2 identical NICS are.

    How can i disable games on xp pro using group policy??

    I know that 'Games' is one of the options that is an optional installation when you install Windows. Using your Admin priviliges, you could go remove that option from the Add/Remove Windows Components screen, but if you have a big network, that might be too slow, theres probably a better way...
