Thanks everybody! I opened a VMware account so downloading Linux is in the near future. Until then I'll be checking out the tutorials (yours as well KAndle!) Since it's on the same subject- in case anybody would like to provide comments or advice about peer networks, I'm planning to connect two 486's. One has windows 95, the other DOS v? Just for fun of course. For starters the PC's won't be online, but since the goal is just to learn as much as possible from the experience I'm open to more suggestions- The plan is to put the network online at some point in the future.

Actually they don't want to hire a tech, what they REALLY want is a certified engineer who's humble enough to push a broom. What I'm really after, to give you a more clear picture, is a way to practice navigating around the DOS command line interface. Reading books is great, but it doesn't compare to hands-on experience. My only access to a network at this time is the libraries and public community computer networks etc. most of which have XP, and the permissions by Novell Client prevent such things. I'm searching for a way to develop and practice my networking skills and I figured I would try to get information from someone who actually knows something.

Thanks Brando, but someone already showed them that DELTREE works. I'm searching, so maybe I'll find out by reading about TCP/IP. PS- someone showed them FDISK, FORMAT and a few other commands; but I'm trying to help them, not hurt them.

Hi, I need to see the 1's and 0's pass across the screen. I figure I can look up, in MCSE study guides or something, which code his handled by each layer of the network protocol stack, but I need to find out how to do this ASAP. While at a community network I was just performing a PING and TRACERT(lucky for me the administrator conveniently has no permissions in place on the Netware!) - anyways, when the Tech saw me do this he was all impressed and said I might be able to get a job there. The thing is I don't know as much as he thinks, but I would like to impress his boss. That way I can get hired to help keep the hardware clean and make sure all the users sign in. Can anyone here describe which commands, selections or paths I would enter from the DOS command prompt? I can already show them how to perform, for example: DIR/W/P or navigate from DIR to DIR. I just need to be able to show off a little bit more! Thank You, Big Time,

Hi. I was suprised to see this forum functions as well as it does. I'm new, so I might not be much help, but I will if I can. I hope to meet a few good people here and hopefully someone can give me some help since I need a career change. C yal in the forums!
