Please DO NOT list an article link for me to go read; I want a straight answer for my question. I need to know all the equipment, plugs etc. needed to set-up a computer networking for a small business; including the equipment needed to network printers and scanners. Gracias

Blair asked:


How do you network printers and scanners in a small business computer networking? What equipment do you need (i.e. plugs, devices) in order to do this? Is networking printers and scanners provided by computer networking IT like at&t, or something with no service cost you can do on your own? Is it in anyway correlated with wireless internet networking in a small business office?

I already have a degree in networking but the school I went to mainly taught us how the lower layers operate. There were also quite a few classes that were there to develop our conceptual knowledge of how everything ties together. For example classes in web design, databases, server-side programming, and a variety of others.

I learned almost nothing about setting up servers, creating users accounts, configuring routers.. I barely know anything about using servers other than there general jobs like DNS, E-Mail, Active Directory, etc.

Some of you might be thinking “well you’ll learn it in the field” but I’ve been applying for jobs over the past two years and all of the interviews I have gotten have been for high-skill work that requires the equivalent of a CCNA and MCSE. I haven’t had one interview for a low skill job. I think it may be because they think I’m overqualified for the job when in reality I’m not.

Any suggestions?
