he unquit, but he is busy, so he won't be around too much until his work load clears a bit.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

It seems that much of this was a simple lack of communication and things have mellowed to an even keel.
I've been crazy with work lately. I got a new boss and he's great but he's got expectations of me and I'm going to live up to them. In return he's a good boss. Also, our company is moving into the next century and we are upgrading EVERTHING on the network.

Ouch! BTDT - we went from mixed 10mbps dumb hubs and 100mbps switches to a gigabit fiber backbone with 100/1000 switches - seven closets in three buldings, about 500 ports total - all in one day.
I feel your pain.

Please spare us. But how many guys did you have to do the job?

Did one of them actually come to your office to let you know it was done, or did they send you an email???

It's not really a massive job. Even with 24 port switches (which is the smallest switch I imagine you'd use), that's about 20 switches, 80 or so screws and all the cabling remains the same. ..unless you had to haul wire. wire sucks.

with gigabit switches you would want cat5e cables run, and if they had 10 megabit hubs, i highly doubt they were using cat5e

Not true at all. Put it in perspective, it may be a leased office space, relatively newer building, when cable runs were made, they were made with various code requirements, which at the time might have been 5e. Just because someone uses 10 MB hubs, doesn't mean their cables can't handle gigabit...

point conceded, however i still find it unlikely if they were using hubs.

Three. Me, my partner Joe, and one engineer (the only one of us certified to do fiber optic cable) from Downtown.
... and as for you ...

Ha, ha, ha. (After I post this I gotta figure out where the smiley control panel went. Upgrades. Sheesh. )
The one break we got was that most of the hospital already had gig-capable fiber pulled - yes, the 10mbit hubs had fiber modules in them. Go figure.
We pulled the fiber we needed for the few closets that didn't have it, hung a buttload of switches (16 total, mixed 24 and 48 port models) and one new fiber hub; then switched out the user ports from the old switches to the new.
