In this episode I introduce some basic network cabling tools and equipment including my favorite network and IT tool, the crossover adapter. This set of tools should be the starting point for the hobbyist and the professional alike and can be picked up a few items at a time, to lessen the effect on your budget.

Nov 18, 2008 - I'm glad to see you decided to keep the Windows comment in. rotflI was wondering are you going to have any shows on routers and switches or wi-fi encryption and security ?Keep up the great work.

TechAnvil Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I think I can work that in. Give me a little while to line up some resources.

Nov 18, 2008 - Like someone asked if you where going to have a show on routers and switches, you should do an episode on cisco IOS and cisco router and switch commands, and talk about setting up security and all, ..if this is possible.

elieb001 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I agree, that would be a cool idea. Talk about router security and maybe particular subnetting commands within IOS that provide additional cushion. Don't know what those would be though, don't have much subnetting experience.
