Alistair B asked:


My problem is I have an computer that was being used as a network server in an office it has microsoft server 2003 on it and I would like to delete all the information from it and start again. Then I would be installing windows vista.
At the moment when I try and format it, it says I can’t because it is connected to other computers (which it isn’t).

Would doing something like changing the setting of the ’sharing of computer’ help?

Or is there something else that can be done?

I am very very new bee in Computer Networking and starting from scratch.
I have to setup one whole office network of 40 pcs with 4 rooms.
The server is already installed in 1 pc. Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition.
Now I am to setup new 40 pcs installing Operating system Windows XP. I am to create user names and password for all users and put access control over program files, right click control, some internet site restriction etc.
So far I have installed OS in all systems, but i have not put any password so XP starts normally without asking any password.
The all pcs are connected to network and it shows in network, but i forget to put sharing so i can not access them.
Now I am doing all PCS XP setup again.
SO, 1. What configuration i should make while setup ask for password and all that things
2. how to connect them on network and it log on through network workgroup user name and password (which is created in server created).
I know something in above question looks like weired, but i dont know anything in networking.
Please I am very new bee so answer accordingly. I will appreciate written answer rather then links. Thank you verymuch in advance
Yet not received precise answer, i mean where are these stuff.

i know i am dumb in networking and got this task, but now i have to complete it

Matt K asked:


So, I am a student in his senior year about to graduate from high school. Now, I haven’t been a very good student. I am terrible with math. What are the things I will need to know to be successful in college going into computer networking? I hear I will need to know trigonometry and stuff, but I hardly know it at all. What knowledge do I need before I even go to college?
Thanks for the answers, but I also want to know if I will need trigonometry or algebra and whatnot at all.

Maurice R asked:


I have no previous knowledge of this stuff. However i see amazon has some books on the subject. Is it possible for me to learn this stuff by myself?

My college only offers computer programming etc. but no networking.

Is it possible to this on my own?

Maurice R asked:


Okay, I am currently enrolled in Information Systems program at my universtiy, However the currivulum is mainly Business and Programming.

I want to get involved with Computer networking. Can I learn this stuff by myself and get Network + certified?

I will also look into getting CCNA certified.
