Help!! I had to bring my laptop into one of our offices (1 of 7 cogeneration power plants with a VPN linking them). I couldn't tie into the network at that one office. The IT guy is a contractor who is a college buddy of the company VP. The SOB fixes the problem, but takes off the Network Magic and Disckeeper software I bought- claimed it caused problems. On top of which, he insulted me in front of half the plant staff.
The Network Magic software made file sharing and access to my printer through my router easy. The laptop runs Vista, the tower with the printer, XP. Now I have to figure how to map the drives so I don't have to plug the laptop in every time I need to print. My tower is at home, where I frequently work. The SOB won't come to my house to set it up, not that I'd let him set foot inside, now. I need to go back and take some courses (networks, etc) so I don't have to depend on him (he's the only downside to this job). That's where I need your recommendations.
Also, I need to lean the in's and out's of data acquisition. So the next time, I accidentaly click something off, I can restart it. That includes learning the necessary programing for emission monitoring equipment data processing (converting raw data, DCS interface, etc.)
Thanks in advance for the reply.
