Pat*pat*pat*pat*

This is getting silly - two times in a row!

Ummm, WiFi?

Hi rv1501, Thanks for dropping in and giving me a pat Boo.

Yep, now start thinking about the old hobos secret code marks that they use to leave behind for each other.

 

Yeah, it looks like your getting pretty damned good at collecting on these "First Pats".

 ♥ Wendy

If I was really trying to get "first pat", I'd be proud..

But, it seems some folks are falling down on the job! 

Oh, Geez... hobo code.. I haven't studied that in years!

Time to google it. 

Hi rv1501, Thanks for stopping by and giving me a pat Boo. Yeah, if you were tryi8ng there would be like five or six ahead of you.

hmmmmmmmmm well i know that bandwidth has to do with computers other than that, idk

Hi luminaire, Thanks for stopping by and giving me a pat Boo. Yeah, I'm thinking it means some, none, and a bunch. 

 ♥ Wendy

Your header picture= goosebumps.

Hi iknowmyvelocity, Thanks for stopping by and giving me a pat Boo. um, so is that good or bad for you? 

 ♥ Wendy

WEP means Wireless Encryption Protocol and a node is basically a terminal in a computer network

Hi noodle32, Thanks for dropping in and giving me a pat Boo. OK, so what do you do with a node, plug into it? and what an open node, and a closed node?

 

This shit is about to sprain my brain.

 ♥ Wendy

A node is just another word they use for a terminal - or a port rather - remember when I was tellin ya about how some ports are open and some are closed on a PC? This would be a prime example here - a node is like a switch that can be turned on and off at the users discretion - if that node is closed - then that terminal (or any other) cannot be connected to or communicated with - (other than the network knowing its there physically of course as all networks ping each other via these things called packets - which are like little inquiries that either the server they're connected to (if it's a client server network) or other PC's (if it's a peer-to-peer) can send and recieve logically on a physically connected network via MAC addresses on the network - but basically if that node is closed - it means that PC terminal can't communicate with other PC's otherwise unless that terminal's node (or switch) is turned back on ) I know it sounds hard to explain but the best way I can explain it is it's a setting or a switch on a PC or terminal ) Now I'm not sure about other PC's plugging into a node otherwise for I think the switch needs to be turned on via the terminal itself )

Hi noodle32, Thanks for stopping in and giving me a pat Boo. *takes half a bottle of aspirin* Damned I just hope all on mine are taking care of them selves, because I don't understand any of that, I do know where the off/on button is though.

♥ Wendy  

Yeah - the good thing is that everything IS being taken care of - that's why programmers @ microsoft and cisco and novell and manufacturers of networking parts and the IEEE have all teamed up to create and follow a common language which is universally compatible in function by using the same code in Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) files to let the drivers of the hardware know how each thing operates and how to allow it to automatically work for user-friendliness

♥ Wendy

Yep - I'll second that

♥ Wendy

I forgot to mention an SSID is a Service Set IDentififer - its like a MAC address for a network card except it sets a unique name to each network to differentiate between networks in that class of networks if there's an internetwork design set up - think of it as part of a name of a network and part of a name of a station put together to allow other networks nearby to know where the requests made to say - another station on another network - came from directly on the physical overall internetwork

Hi noodle32, Thanks for dropping in and giving me a pat Boo.

Thanks, that shit is getting way above my head.

 ♥ Wendy

Yeah - I was having a hard time trying to put it into words myself - damn IEEE and all their technical words - but - this IS the language of networking after all )

Hi noodle32, Thanks for stopping in and giving me a pat Boo. Maybe that's why IT people get paid so good, because they understand what the PC is saying.
