I need to find out some very basic things about networking, as quickly as I can. As far as I know I'm dealing with a "peer to peer network," which includes seven computers and a printer. With a cable Internet connection. Can you help me define the terms above and tell me what each one of them does in the network? 10 points for the easiest to understand, clearest answer. I'd really like to know where to go to learn more without too much techie doubletalk.

About 3 weeks ago I bought a 3 year service plan for my computer from compusa. After watching the news today, they said compusa would be closing after the holidays. What's going to happen to my service plan? Was it a waste of $300 or will it be transferred?

What am i supposed to do?
ok so i bought this laptop http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?... and it was great until the screen blacked out, if u read one of the reviews is says:

"I had some issue that made the screen black. I would have to manually push the on/off button to get the monitor to work again. I read that other Toshibas laptops have had this problem. To fix this problem I turned the Processor setting up. It seemed to do the trick. No more black screen. Are any of you having this issue? Other than that this unit is a steal."

so how do i turn the processor setting up?? can u tell me step by step where to go and wat to do??

thank u!!

also, must i really use vista with the 8800GT or will that only become important once some directx10 games come out?

First IT job, is the learning curve always this steep :(?
I started my first IT job Tues as a TSS and I am really lost, I am in my 2nd year of college and even though I have had several IT classes I still am lost. They ask me during my interview if I had ever worked with active directory or servers and I told them no and they still hired me and have been training me on it little by little for the last few days, and I am right now just following another TSS around like they told me to so I can learn the ropes.

But I feel like I will never remember all the passwords or which server is for what, also I feel like I'm just standing there at times and not really helping them much because I don't really know what to do.

Are all of these just common fears of a new job and am I just trying to get into to big of a hurry by trying to learn to much to fast. The boss said I am doing good and to just keep doing what I am doing and when I feel comfortable I can just jump right in, but I really think that I am not impressing them much.

Any thoughts

I have an outdated version of Mcafee on my Comp. I was planning on getting Avast but I don't want to delete McAfee off my computer. I was wondering if they'd conflict with eachother if I have them both. A few said they would, but a couple said they did the same or similar thing and it still worked fine.

Help!
