go do network + instead, its only a short course, so quick & it'll tell you enough to figure everything out at a practical level, if you just need a quick boost up to speed..

Understood.

Network + sounds like what I need. And no need to spend money on expensive and long MCSE course if I don't need it right now. Although I am still interested in MCSE & MCSA.


Confus-ed, thanks for the explanation. It definitely helps me to better understand what is going on and why.


OK, here's what I have:

Server 2003 Standard Edition (what it said on the login screen)

Dell Power Connect 3324 - Which after going to Dell.com looks to be a glorified hub. Right?

Multitech RF550VPN Route Finder - (sigh of relief) At least we have some firewall protection!

And I was happy to see that we have a - Specialix 16 port RTA - and a - standby server and a UPS


So what am I missing as far as security goes? Or anything else?


Thanks for all your help.
