Networking Term and Definitions Computers
By Terry Hall
September 24, 2008
There is nothing intuitive about Computer Networking. Heck even the Terms and Definitions are confusing and counter-intuitive. My friend Jason Brooks owns Beanstalk Computing providing business networking maintenance and repairs in the San Diego Area was sharing with me how he helps his clients save time money and frustration by pro-actively visiting each client and finding problems before the printer stops printing, modems stop working and people can’t work because of the “Network is down… again”.
It’s funny to listen to him talk in his native Networking Terms and Definitions making Computers seem so mysterious. He says it’s pretty basic and simple, but I personally feel that he is a bit strange. He is somewhat of a “Computer Network Whisperer”. What that means is that he so understands computers, networks and their applications that when he enters the network room or closet, he intuitive knows what and where the problem is at. As a Business Intuitive, I relate completely. Most of us ignore our intuition, especially when it comes to technical issues.
Why am I writing this article? Simple, a business associate recently was infected with a virus that was easy to remove, if we had the right solution. We didn’t and my associate had to completely reinstall all of their software! What’s funny is that Jason had a post on his blog about how to remove this virus, but I didn’t look on the Beanstalk Computing Blog, instead I ran a muck searching all over the internet for a solution… It didn’t work.
Bottom line is this: Listen to your intuition and go to your network for a solution before google. Especially when Networking Terms, Definitions and Computers are you life blood in your business. If you don’t have a good computer network guy for your business, use Jason at Beanstalk Computing – he doesn’t work on home systems, but for a San Diego Area business with a 5 or more network nodes – he will cure your computer networking blues and keep you in production!
Cheers,

Hi Terry, I’m a young guy who has started studying computer networking. I would like you to brief me more about networking intuitive.
Thanks
Hi Albert,
Well you know more about “networking” than I know. So let me brief you on the “intuitive” part.
The best way to begin is to ask you to recall a time when the telephone rang when you were not expecting a call and without seeing the caller-id, you know who was calling you. For many people this happens all the time and for others, occasionally.
Well that is a form of intuition. You know something beyond what your 5 senses or intellect inform you about.
The problem that most people, especially guys have a difficult time accepting information that we can not attribute to a specific source… but that is the nature of intuition.
Another quick example is “trusting your first impression” during test taking. This is a form of intuition that when mastered leads us to very interesting results.
Now to a “Network Whisperer” of “Networking Intuition”, simply approach any situation or problem with a quiet and calm mind seeing and listening to everything with your attention on nothing in particular… Then allow yourself to “know” what the answer or solution or problem is.
I recommend that you keep a journal of while you develop these types of skills so you can write “My intuition said it was X @ a specific time and date”… then when the problem is resolved (the answer found) enter that into your journal. Compare the two entries for their accuracy or similarity.
In this type of tracking and verification of intuition, your intuitive sense was either “right or wrong” there is no middle ground…
I hope this helps. If you’re interested in more information, visit my forum at http://AskTerryHall.com
