Now I am sure that is the answer that you would have been looking for isn't it Darksnake.
What guy asks for directions?? Seriously.. that's why we always get lost. Anyways... what's wrong with telling him to buy a map, he'd see the street on there wouldn't he? Even if he did answer, it's not the same. How do I get to this location is a lil more specific than are there any sites about networking.

I don't actually remember you flaming me and I don't care. I am just curious as to why you posted then. If are so worried about saving time then why did you take a minute out of your life of upmost importance to make a post that did little to solve a problem?
If you have a bookmark all you had to do was drag and drop it. Now how long would that have taken? All I am saying is if you aren't going to help someone, then why do anything at all. Another example because they are so fun to make:
Someone is on the side of the road trying to replace a tire and they really have no clue how to do it. Would you actually pull over and tell them that they could probobly read a manual and learn how to do that and then drive off?
Is anything sticking here or are you going to quote some more crap about playing baseball.

Hey dudes, thanks for those links, they were a great help !
Hmmm i'm really sorry, i didn't mean to start a war between you guys ... but i just want to add that if google.com was the reply to all posts then what would be the point in having a forum on this site ... i mean there might as well just be a big image saying GO TO GOOGLE !!
I know that google is a very good resource in the world of finding information (specially about computers/networks/programs etc) and i had indeed searched there before posting the question ... but i found that there were loads of sites, all with networking information, but some of them had too little (basically just an overview) whereas some of them had way to much for me. Anyway i decided to post because i have great respect for the society of AO members and i was hoping to acquire a link to a site that one of you guys found useful when you were learning about networking .... and i did, thank you very much lansing_banda dude!
Sorry again

The problem is, asking for "networking information" is WAY to general. Be a little bit more specific. Do you network security, routers, tcp/ip, udp, netbios, etc etc etc. Networking is a very broad term.
To use Lansing_Banda's example of asking for directions, its not like asking how to get to a stadium to see a concert. Its like asking how to get to the city. Well.. what city do you want to get to?
or the idea of replacing a tire... ask how to replace a tire, and you can get help. But when you call up a mechanic and say.. my car doesn't work, the mechanic doesn't tell you how to fix it.
now someone is goig to respond and say "well, why didn't you just ask him to be more specific to try and find out exactly what he wanted before just replying google" The reason is because mikester has over 50 posts so by that time, you would expect that he would know to be more specific. And if he doesn't, then a google search will help him so that he can determine exactly what he wants to know so that he can ask the proper question and get it answered.
