Question by Trip D: Where can I find KB Home house plans?
I have been looking for KB Home plans, but all I can come up with are the martha designs and the Kb web site doesn’t seem to offer any plans. Where can I find KB Home house plans?
Best answer:
Answer by ☠ Bunky ☠
Hey there I am in the process of buying a Kb home as well (well hopefully our loan is at underwriting today).
There website is:
http://www.kbhome.com/
Go to home search and choose what state/community you want to live in. At the bottom of the page it will give you a list of the homes they are building. For example it will say plan 1569. You click on that and it will give you all of the info including the floor plan and if its already modeled a virtual tour.
I am assuming you mean floor plan if not what do you mean by plans?
Good luck

The demand for IT professionals nationwide isn’t quite as high as it was a few years ago (pre-market crash). But the demand is constantly rising just by the nature of the job and the changing industries.
I been in IT for the last 20+ years and been hiring System/Network Administrators for the last 10 years.
I am going to be completely honest, on a whole I completely ignore college information. I look for practical experience if I am hiring for a non-starting position. But in starting/intern positions I am looking if the person has any certifications and what kind of personality the person has.
As for certifications… start off with something like CompTIA Network+. From there study and go for the CCENT. After these 2 certifications (and a good personality) this should get you a basic job in networking. But if you actually want to make a career of it, you will need to get the CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, and CCIE (holy grail).
There are virtual Cisco router simulations, download them, use them, learn them. Make sure you know and actually understand the OSI model, how/why subnet work, and learn BGP.
Applying for a job in the IT Market right now really depends on where you are in North America. 1.5 to 2 years ago the IT unemployment rate in Silicon Valley was about 30% (or roughly double what it was in other industries), which makes job scarce and makes having a broad range of computer/server/network based skills more important. No longer to companies just fork over 100k a year for a system or network guy, they want a system guy that knows networking, networking guys that know systems, MAC guys with Windows and Linux experience, and vice versa.
Learn as much as you can, but don’t be surprised if you have to intern anywhere to get through the door.
Good Luck!

Question by val b: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers?
where can i download windows sp2 cause when i go to microsoft.com i get the above listed above in subject, which is for multiple or more than 1 network

Answer by Maximus
Microsoft have already released Windows XP Service Pack 3. You should download and install SP3 as it already includes everything in SP2.
Windows XP SP3——>http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/sp3/default.mspx
“Windows XP Service Pack 2 (or 3) Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers” is the exact same thing as the installer for single computers. In fact, most “computer savy” users prefer this installation method because it avoids using Windows Update. You can use the multiple installer to update your computer safely without any worries. To get the single computer installer, you’ll have to download it through Windows Update or order a CD from Microsoft (look at the SP3 link I provided – You can no longer order a SP2 CD):

Question by rybanv: how do you setup a wireless ethernet bridge?
The bridge is a dlink DWL 810+. I am using a laptop connected to a buffalo wireless router. I set my local area connection to a static ip address in the range of the bridge, then I attempt to log into the bridge ip address and run the wizard. However, it gives me a page error and I cannot continue with the configuration setup.

Answer by W G
I can’t really give you a solid answer because there are too many unknowns. However, I can give you advice that may help:
1) Try using Internet Explorer, if you’re not already using it. Most routers like IE best.
2) If you are changing major settings like “IP Addresses, Subnet masks, or DHCP settings”, if you are typing anything incorrectly, it may give an error and try to set itself to the incorrect settings. Try setting the IP to something like 192.168.2.1, Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, DHCP to serve out 192.168.2.50-192.168.2.100 or taking the defaults to see what happens. Make sure to also change your PC settings to the new settings when this happens to see if it’s been set and you simply cannot access the changed address.
3) See if you can upgrade the firmware to a new version. It might not be possible if the router starts with the wizard and you cannot cancel out of it.
4) Don’t set up the router initially using a wireless connection. Some of the firewall or wireless settings may be blocking you from accessing the web page. Use an inside address connected to the switch.
HTH,

Question by Sam: Is it possible to connect a WRT160N Linksys router to a airport express so that you can extend your wireless?
I have a WRT160N Linksys router, a airport express and a other router. Is it possible to extend my wireless range by connecting my WRT160N Linksys router and my airport express? I read on the internet it is possible however they explained it in a complex way. I’m not really that good with computers.
Best answer:
Answer by Ram
I am not sure if this helps – but I have recently come across a device that uses powerlines to extend your wireless network . PLT (Power line Tech.) is pretty old but not much development seems to have taken place .But this device looked promising- I knew some hotels that use powerlines to provide internet access in all rooms without networking – now the same is upgraded to wireless. Probably might help .

Question by elle4: How long does your computer name stay on the router after youve logged off network?
if you log into a network router, does your computer name stay there for a certain amount of time? becus i can see other computers in the network but they arent logged on(they have red x’s) so im just wondering if the router automatically clears a name after its been disconnected for a long time.
Best answer:
Answer by johntrottier
A router that is using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses “leases” that IP address to a particular computer for a set period of time. That time is usually accessible in the setup screens for the router
You do not want to set the lease time too short, or the computers on the network will have problems with losing their connection.
