This is a new one on me..

J: Click Start and Run and type in CMD, click OK. Now type in here 'ping 192.168.1.1'
C: Ok so ping and then a space. By space you of course mean one of those little dashes.
J: ..Uh no, I mean press the space bar.

Wtf?

Public service announcement

For the lazy geek in everyone here, there's a "fun little toy" that provides VPN-like capabilities that I'm sure will come in handy.

This worthy tool is called Hamachi
In brief, it allows you to make non-local networked PCs part of a private network with a minimum of effort.  It creates a virtual network connection that co-exists with (and piggy-backs on) your existing network connection without disruption/redirection.

As a practical example, I am browsing shares on my home PC (behind a Coyote Linux firewall) from work (firewalled out the wazoo, too).  Certainly beats messing around FTP...

Free!  For Windows and Linux (OS X client in-progress)
That is all...

Anyone know of any available support type job positions in North Carolina?
