Does anyone know if Telcove is blocking any 135 ports or 139? I have a class that is trying to access our network from this ISP and they are unable to connect. Everyone else is working fine.

And for this same reason, we ask for the resume's in "Plain ASCII" If they simply export their Word doc, it gets deleted as the formatting is terrible. A good geek/sysadmin understands the importance of a well formatted ASCII file. --Mike--

This may be stupid but..
by Fisher, Shawn 10 Nov '03

If this question is inappropriate for this list I apoligize in advance. I have several open engineering positions that I am trying to fill without the use of a recruiter. My thoughts on using a recruiter is they end up extracting a fee from the employer that would be better put to the future employee. My question, what is the most effective way to recruit quality engineers? Does anyone have experience or opinions to share? TIA, Shawn

(not counting windows way of doing traceroute) Little details like that can be sorted out later by education. In fact, the individual that I'm thinking of may have mentioned UDP packets. The point is that the answer shows the kind of detailed understanding of the network that you want in a network engineer. This guy wasn't just a user of tools that do stuff, he understood what was happening inside the network layers themselves. There are lots of people who know how to use traceroute or Infovista but you wouldn't want them logging into your core routers for troubleshooting. --Michael Dillon

Word of mouth, friends-of-friends, the jungle drum. Not recruiters, at least if you're looking for capital-I Internet people. In my last job the company used several recruitment agencies in trying to fill its vacancies, but we never got anything even remotely suitable as far as Internet engineers went. It may be that you can find a recruiter that will actually listen to both you as well as potential candidates, but all the ones I've dealt with haven't progressed beyond checkbox sorting -- any CV that doesn't score 9 out of 10 checkboxes (CCblah, etc) on the top of page 1 go straight in the bin. And some don't even go to that lenght of effort. Ask for a Network Engineer and they'll drown you in "Excellent MCSE, very strong, superior skills" type CVs. Go to NANOG (or RIPE in Europe) and possibly IETF meetings, and schmoooooooze ... -- Per [I see some familiar names in the Nanog digest. Yes, it's me.-]

24-port Gigabit + two 10Gb uplinks
by Eric Kuhnke 09 Nov '03

09 Nov '03

It looks like 24*1Gb + 2*10Gb switches will be showing up soon: http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?site=lightreading&doc_id=43109 http://www.sandburst.com/Releases/AcctonPartners.pdf Sandburst and Accton are offering a white-box/OEM 24 port switch with two 10Gb uplinks... "The resulting system could sell for around $20,000, Sandburst officials say." Certainly not as cheap as a 2950 with two Gb ports, but this is the start of an entirely new generation of edge switches. Does anyone want to hazard a guess as how long it will be before 24+10Gb switches are selling for $1,500? 3 years?

Web hijacking by router - a new method of advertisement by Belkin
by william＠elan.net 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

I have just read this on the register and followed it up on usenet: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/69/33858.html http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=BvSqb.24184%… http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c91e821d.0311051525.70aa9920%40posting… It seems folks at Belkin followed up on verisign concept and implemented web redirection for marketing purposes (web request hijacking) on the router itself. There they did not even bother about mispelled domains or bad requests and just decided that every 8 hours it would be ok to replace your original webrequest (from any computer connected through that router) with one going to their own server advertising their product/service. How original of them! But for other router manufactures present on this list, make notice - DO NOT DO IT IN YOUR OWN PRODUCT EVER. I (and from newsgrousp there are appears to be many others with same opinion about it) do not want routers modifying my network packets without my knowledge about it and definetly not for marketing of your own products. In the mean time after this post, I'm off to datacenter room to look for any belkin products I can spot, after that follow up to Fry's would be necessary to buy replacements. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william(a)elan.net
