Congrats on the new gig and great to know you are sticking around here, it's a great site!

I failed to achieve my goals this year but have just accepted a new job. I will be starting the new year eager and raring to go- hoping to get the MCSA 2012 or CCNA depending on time and resources- the new place apparently values training it's staff, a luxury I haven't previously had in my IT roles without teaching myself 

Thanks for the laughs guys, this has made my day! 

I know most people are dumb, but using work emails on there as well. comedy gold!

The more I think and learn about DNS the more it blows my mind with what it actually does and how quickly it does it. Sad but true.....

EEM could do that for you.
It'd make a great April Fool's for colleagues!

Just make sure it's not on a production switch... hate to have to be in the middle of an outage and then get this:

Code Select Expand

Router# conf t

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

Thanks, this made my day 

Yes, the test was breaking the enigma machine, well the code anyway!

I thought the Turing test was how to significantly shorten the war and save civilization from the Nazi's then get utterly shafted by your government after the war was over?

Great resource Fred, thanks for that! 

Hi all,

Not sure if any of you rate Boson for practice materials/tests etc but they have a sale on this month- just purchased a couple of Microsoft practice tests as heard they are useful.

Home labbing thread sounds good.....

A few folk on the techexams forum also mentioned GNS3 being enough so will check that out for my CCNA journey, if I can get some cash together I would definately like to get a home lab set up as there seem to be plenty of older Cisco switches and routers knocking about 

Wow Dean, great work on getting this thread going so quickly. Just replied to you on the intro one as well!

It's good to read about your experience and how you made the transition as that is the move I would like to make, good job 

I've worked with AD, Exchange and Servers quite alot but would really like to pick up more of the networking side of things, currently working in a smaller business than my previous roles but it's meaning I get to work with switches and firewalls (as well as printer cartridges, desktop and server stuff too) so good experience in that respect. Enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy so hoping to nail the CCENT/CCNA in the not too distant future and along with my work experience hoping I can get more involved in a Networking role!

Hi Simon, Joe and Dean 

That sounds great thanks Dean, look forward to the thread on how 'to move worlds' 

Hi all,

Just registered after seeing this site mentioned on techexams.net 
Carrying on the AA style intros.....I've been working in IT for nearly 8 years now, mostly focussed on Windowz but wanting to take the Cisco CCENT/CCNA route now and hopefully land a network engineer type role in the future 

I say hopefully as every IT job over here seems to expect you to be MCSE/CCNA qualified at least nowdays....

Cheers,
Chev
