ComputersRe: My Laptop Does Not Detect New Hardware by opensource(m): 4:49pm On Apr 23, 2009
@Engr Yinka this is a public forum , and except the need for further contact is necessary ,why not try to answer the question so that all with similar problem can benefit from it.

First of all is this a China phone ?Whats the phone make , model so that we can provide stright answers


Sometimes you need the software installed first before it finds the hardware.
Also as surprising as it may sound, it should be called "plug and pray", not all devices are found on first boot, sometimes you need to give it a hint by using the "install new hardware" option, this will cause it to look closer for a new device, and even then sometimes it simply can't see it until you force it by installing the device drivers.

Plug and play in all of Microsofts operating systems only detects those items that are truly plug and play. The earlier US Robotic modems and phones were not plug and play as they had described on the box and to get the plug and play feature you had to remove all the jumpers from the modem. Then, you had to go into the control panel and use the Add New Hardware wizard to add the device. If your modem comes with jumper pins on it then it is not a true plug and play device. If you go into the Add New Hardware wizard, it will probably detect the device however.
ComputersRe: CISCO Thread: CISCO Professionals Identify Yourselves by opensource(m): 9:47am On Apr 23, 2009
Yes you can study and pass CCNA on your own , all you need do is read the cybex book and read your dumps. Once you have the recent dumps from pass4sure , then believe me 90% of the questions are from the dump.

But passing the exam is a different thing entirely , I went for a CCNA training for 3 months ,its was all theory and even the instructor although quite knowledgeable , always got confused even with simple topics like Subneting and VLSM . Despite the fact that we always have practical sessions with the packet tracer , there was a need for working with real routers and switches which we didn't.

Although i passed CCNA with like 900+ , it only took about 3 weeks and all those theory questions in the dumps flushed off my head , when i tried them again in 3 weeks time . It was a total flop. This is the consequence of cramming for exam.

@ blesseb2k . believe me when you do more of practicals with live equipments or simulator its always far better than reading and cramming for exams.Now i don't even need to read on how to setup SDM ,do my Subnetting ,telnet -console - aux seetings , ssh , and basic router config . I do this everyday and this practical in now the theory i need.Wake me from sleep now and i will config a router with this basic config i listed.

Also you mentioned been long into networking with close to 500 PC , not personal but i would like to know what teh network runs on . LINUX,WINDOWS,JUPITER,LINKSYS or what kind of routers and switches u used over ypur LAN and WAN

IT is far more than just certification , although this might get u a good job , but when u begin to feel worthless and irrelevant to the team , where you cant even execute little commands on your own.

I love this thrend , and will alway return to it

I just found out about this trend and very quite educative.

I am presently Using packet tracer 5.0 and believe me i get to a point where the so much theory in my mind get me confused and i just give up and do something else. I am trying to sketch and setup my present companies network using packet tracer and all seems well so far apart from some advance policy routing that wont work on Packet tracer.Also I have problem setting the ISP or client side that call for services on our servers. I will try setup Dynamics and hopefully this should work for me.

Note failing to appreciate the like of natevvs ,thanks for a wonderful trend like this . Its actually been a nice thread with links to a lot of write up ,which if not careful u might just get lost out of this trend while reading those external urls but it quite handy to have in your library or bookmarks so be it.

I completed my CCNA and work with a small IT firm , the only problem is the network is already reconfigured by the expert and he is only there as a contract staff . I own it all to my self , i can play with the servers ,router and switch that isn't on the live platform. but its pretty slow for me because I have to read and practice ,while at the same time doing other office job.I back up at night we no body is using the router , then start my config . early in the morning i re-instate the previous config.pretty sad i need a router if any one has one to spare.

Also This is one question , I would like to be addressed . As a network engineer is just learning Cisco okay for you to be employeed and get a good job because as far as i know many if not all companies in Nigeria run on cisco network even telecoms.

Whats the salary pay for a CCNA or CCNP person and whats the interview like.IS a degree really essential .What of a Masters

Whats the impact or rather value do you have in telecom companies as a cisco person because i know most of their system are Siemens , Alcatel or SIGTRAN. I am just opportuined to see Cisco devices in GLO and ZAIN and MTN transmission rooms ( but most have labels of companies like : Shell ,GTB,Cheveron) so i just presume its own by them).

Where would be the best place to build on core networking is it working with ISP's or Telecom companies.

I am also learning Asterisk also on linux but believe me nothin is easy , Christ I also need good source of income to sustain and balance my brain or it will just die of frustration.


cheers

EducationTouts At The Silverbird Cinemas by opensource(op): 1:10pm On Apr 07, 2009
I was at the cinema on Sunday and was quite embarrassing when a cleaner walk consistently up to me and was trying to inquire if i needed any help make a choice of movie to watch.

It got so irritating when he came to me over and over again , and I just asked him with a loud voice , that what exactly is his problem . I am a frequent person to the galleria and know how to get basically everything i want from the galleria.He just left and never returned.

After about a while , since i was waiting to join the next move GRAN TORINO , i just noticed him walked up to another fellow and with the reaction on that guys face , i noticed he too felt disturbed . I then walked up to him and asked what exactly was wrong and he told me that the cleaner was offering him a Movie pass for 500 naira. ( How embarrasing he felt) This shouldn't be and I am sure some people can get to see this post and correct this anomalies.

Reading a post of Popcorn beggars at the galleria earlier today here , I think a lot of shits are begining to kick off there and this will really tarnish the image of the place.
TravelRe: Where In The World Can I Make Two Million Naira Yearly Without Profession by opensource(m): 1:49pm On Mar 03, 2009
The problem most people have in this life is inability to answer this question " What do I want from Life"


You stated you have the contact of an ambassador that will help you with travel requirement.

All i will advice is you continue with your studies , if you begin to cultivate the thought of making it without study or profession , then u might fall in hands of hustlers and you will see yourself on the FAST TRACK when u get out there.

Since you are in your year 1 , you can decide to forget the present school and go study in Europe on scholarship . Make research on Denmark, Sweden, Finalnd . This country offer good and free education.

Now going back to my first question , " What do I want from Life"

thanks
TravelRe: Uk Student Re-application by opensource(op): 6:29pm On Dec 11, 2008
Yes that's the conclusion but the problem here still lies that the old passport was damaged along with the refusal slip , This been a long time ago and he never felt the need to keep it . not until now that he is re-applying

Saying the truth will clear skepticism and avoid so many question from the ECO true , i agree , but will this in any way play a role in judgement of the new application.

Please contribute with supporting documents,

will a court affidavit be necessary , stating that the passport was damaged during a little fight with the authoristies as he true it at the MD demanding his money.

what of a police report,

TravelUk Student Re-application by opensource(op): 1:35pm On Dec 07, 2008
Fellow NL’s your opinion will be of great value here.

A friend of mine has come to me on advice for how to go about his UK visa application and seeking advice from me because of the previous mistakes he has made in the past maybe due to ignorance or lack of knowledge about the immigration requirement. Well cutting the long strong short I will narrate his ordeal and want you to air your views, opinions and suggestions.

Frank my very good friend in university of Ibadan decided to travel to UK in pursuit of better education and he applied through an agent .He contacted an agent who once came on a presentation in UI and with them He paid about 4,000 pounds which is equivalent to 50% tuition deposit and accommodation registration fee. He also paid the agency fees for getting the admission and visa counseling. This was 50k naira

The agent collected the said money and never sent it to the school, but yet presented to him with a fake admission letter and receipt of payment and ask him to get his passport so that he can apply for the student visa. Frank been so glad that every thing is working fine and believing so much on the agent, He made his visa application via the agent who prepared all required documents for him. All he was asked to provide was his personal details and his transcripts and passport.

The visa was applied for on 2007 January. Then no thumb printing in place and you just submit in Ikeja office. It stayed about 3 weeks and frank was refused based on 4 facts.

1. Abnormalities and inconsistency in statement of account used ,
2. Abnormalities and inconsistency in Tax clearance ,
3. They doubt that he would return back home after studies,
4. That he didn’t make proper research before choosing the said course.

Frank, like everyone refused a visa was sad and in fact never knew what to do, the agent advised him to re-apply instead of appealing, but I advised frank to appeal than re-apply after he called me to inform me of the status of his application. Now as I was helping him prepare his appeal documents , we both wrote the letter, so we decided for the first time to call the school and tell them the status of his visa application and that if they could also provide any supporting documents to aid the appeal since he has paid 50%.And he was very eager to come and study.

This time the whole truth was out, the agent never sent money to the school, and even the admission and everything they used were later discovered to be fake.Although the embassy refusal never said this on the refusal.
When I came to Lagos and we both went to the agents place, they still denied that the money was paid, Frank got physically out of annoyance and threw the refusal pack on the manager telling him to produce his money back. He over acted and well the said news is that the pack fell into water and some of his transcript and passport were destroyed .Although frank got his waec certificate re-issued and he did a new E- passport now.

We decided to call the police and arrested the manager of the company, after he accepted to have false fully collected money from frank , he decided he will pay. The police made him write and undertaking and when the date came, he didn’t show up, the police when to re-arrested him again and the case was taken to court.
The manager immediately pleaded guilty to 419 and collecting money under false pretence. And pleaded that the court give him time that he will pay back. Then a payment plan was made and for every court appearance the manger paid as he said he will.

Now the court case has only one hearing left which is for pay off and Frank wants to apply for a new UK visa to go and study this December, He applied directly to the school and, also made payment directly for his full tuition fee and his accommodation registration which cost 8,000 pounds. The court gave Frank permission to go and study that he can present someone who will appear in court on final hearing and receive the payoff balance.

Now the question is should Frank reference that he has applied before through an agent, or should he just say he hasn’t applied before since the old passport is no longer available and he has the new Ecowas passport. If frank is to say no, what are the chances that he will be given a visa this times , because he didn’t thumb print .

Or should he say, he has applied. if yes how does he handle the fact that he went to an agent and the agents sins might be used to judge him. Also what documents should he provide to back his claim up in case he says yes.

Already, his sponsors and personal documents I have advised him with little experience I have gathered from immigration both on this forum and outside and that is fully ready now. He is filling his form and needs help with this now.

But I need other opinion about this very question?

Sorry if this post is too long.

Every thing about the site looks bad. But i will tell you that the only good thing about it is simple that You are Willing to succeed at Purpose.

Your purpose of been a web developer.

Good take some moment of stillness or serenity look around , see sample sites , pick one that gives your the inspiration and involve in day dreaming of what you want your site to look like.

Building site with table Border set to "3" is absolutely not what u want to archive , did you think of CSS ,Javascript to make those image transitions, or even DHTML for some nice tweaks. Simplicity is one good thing in web designing because in it the efficiency of good work is felt.

Your pictures are stressed , and you color combination makes me wanna throw up,

But like i said the only good thing is willingness to do something.

So i will suggest u improve in the listed things and u should be good
