Its not that I don't have a clue, its that my knowledge has gaps. I tend to
learn the best by actually doing. Sitting through lectures and theory
lessons does me no good. Getting out there and doing, that's much more my
style. And my client is fine with this. He and I go way back and he knows
that while I know most things front to back, there are spots where I need to
learn a bit more. As it is, I understand DHCP and DNS, I just don't
understand internal/external addressing and the intricacies of routing.
Forgive me if I don't follow the same path to enlightenment everyone else
did. But right now I'm simply trying to understand why the client computers
can't see the server. Once I get a clue to figure that out, the
underpinnings of why that happened will be apparent and my knowledge that
much greater. So, can ya give me a hint?
