Windows exchange is not that difficult. However programming linux. You'll need to learn some code.

[Leomhann]

Any books you might recommend or just pretty much prod around with trial and error and start with websites?
Mostly what I'm needing is windows file and printer sharing with some internet protocols and security.

[Puddle]

That link has file sharing tutorials. It's not realy that hard.

We use this at work here. Neet program.

If I come across any books I'll post em. I've got to do all the comuter shit now at work and my education is mainly hands on.

[Leomhann]

Thx :rawk:

Learning how to use the network section in windows is a big deal. Specialy when shering files to a server. Setting up domains and shared email. Poke around that link I gave you. A bud sent me it. Also we are adding aserver here and may have exchange so when that gets up. Our IT consultant is showing me how to run and manipulate it.

Looking forward to that!

[Leomhann]

We already have a server set up here (shitty I might ad). My boss set it all up and his mind is still stuck in the days on windows 95. So I'm needing to learn as much as I can to redo it so its 1 secure, and 2 actually works.

Lucky you got the IT guy gonna teach you.

:picard:
Oh shit...
What operating sustem is on the server and is it set up as just a standard data storage unit. Or does it control the office PC's like terminals.

Dude I'm glad I ain't fucking with it. Be ral carefull on the network settings. You could loose complete funtionality.
:suicide: and do that to the system

[Leomhann]

Windows XP Pro, its pretty much just data storage, but sadly it controls the internet too, if I'm not mistaken. I think he was trying to make it terminal access too, but thank god he failed at that and just made it data. Luckily I'm experienced in how he fucks things up, but I gave up on the why he tried to do it the way he did. It never makes any sense.

[Puddle]

You Prally have the internet modem hooked up to a hub or a router. The server itself in the network settings should tell you if it is the main hub.
XPpro for a server...
Well it's just file sharing then.
But check the network settings and the modem link to see if the server is running like a master hub.

[Puddle]

I... I'm getting a vision of the future..
Yess .... YES!... I can se it Leomhann!

Puddle: Did you time travel back to the 1990's for that clip art? Or just raid your grandmother's GeoCities account for it?

Leomhann: Bit Torrent and virtualization are your friends. Use that box at home, download a bunch of image files and experiment with different arrangements. It's not a perfect setup, but you will be able to learn about setting up a domain, centralizing file sharing and user accounts, and multiple operating system environments. In my experience, the best way to learn is to break something by accident and then figure out why and fix it.

However for book knowledge, the "For Dummies" books and the O'Reilly books are great resources.

Well his boss does a have a "Windows 95 mentality."!

When it comes to technical stuff on the comps, I'm a caveman with a club. And sadly theres only my boss, another guy and me, no mexicans....unless thats what I keep hearing in the walls.
