Another one of those days.
Ever had one of those days when the simple shit goes wrong.
Here I am in my nice new role at work as IT god. Now its one of those places that basicaly has never had anybody looking after it. After finding in the past week that, the tape drive backup wasnt working, the raid drives in the server, were unpluged, and basicaly that the network was a sham, I've slowly been fixing things. But the simple task of adding a printer just screwed me over.
Its a lovely duplex printing color laser jobbie, quite sexy in its own right, but it geve me a headache. Here I was all setup ready to go, and for some reason, it dosnt appear on the network. So I check the cable, check the setup, and cant find anything. So im thinking that there is some server side issue. Not having played with NT4 for sometime (its getting upgraded very soon)I fumble my way around but cant realy find anything stoping it. So after basicaly a day of screwing around, I decied to run a new cable from a nearby PC, and all of a sudden its on the network. Further investigation finds that the cable I was using has been prety eaten by rats, not all the way through but enough to make it not work. So now it looks like I'm gonig to end up with the task of re-doing some of the network cables.
I tell you what wireless is looking good.
