So...where do you turn to?

I've been wondering... Where do you, my fellow tech support folks, turn to when you are stumped on an issue?

I'm certainly not going to post the problem here. *grin*

I will say it is networking related on mostly Windows machines.

Where would you go to look for answers to bizarre issues?

I see your problem..... and it is.... MICROSOFT.... (I jest, I jest)

*cough* Outside of my advocacy...

Failing Google, I usually turn to the guys that I work with, we operate a pretty large scale datacenter that runs pretty much everything (win2k to Hackint0sh to slackware to freeBSD and so on) and they know some pretty off the wall solutions to just about any zaney problem out there. And most of them work.

I've run a Hackintosh for the lols (on a netbook, even), but why would someone run it in a datacentre? If they're too cheap to buy an Xserve, they could always rack up a few Mac Minis.
