Troubleshoot

Today I set out to Troubleshoot why my internet would not work on a laptop. I have a Linksys router which I use to network my home with. two desktops and one laptop. I have to reset the router every so often or it does not connect my laptop. I went on the internet trying to find out why. The first thing I did was reset the router. This did nothing for me, the next thing i did was called my ISP again this did nothing for me. finally I looked on my setting for the laptop and found that it was not set anymore for a wireless connection. Some how someone turned off the wireless card and I spent most of my day trying to fix it. Lesson learned never let anyone on your computer that you do not trust. And if then with a limited account!!

Security

Security is the number one thing i hear these days when i walk through the halls of school, or even a small business. Do these people really know what they are talking about or have they even the knowledge to protect themselves? I say you can spend a life time reading but do you understand what you read unless you are faced with a situation. Once you are faced with a situation and do a hands on project only then will you learn. Set up a home network and try some of the things you see in the book and you will find it very useful. Always remember arm yourself with knowledge and thats the basics of security!
