I need help to sort out a computer network. Are there any dedicated
newsgroups for contacts in PC Networks? I need someone to come into my
office. Where I live the specialist skills are hard to find.

I have now a small network of 5 computers and I get endless headaches
with stuff not working and the last "specialist" had never even heard
of .NET. Then he started saying a Web developer could configfure the
server systems.

What I need is a simple and reliable system. The technicians seem to
more interested in implementing some new whizz feature from Microsoft
which ends up stopping my whole business.

All depends where you are. I specialise in small-site support.

Sounds like you need to find a guy who knows what he's talking about, but
also someone who appreciates that a small site wants a solution of manageable
complexity.

I am in Southend on sea (UK)

Seriously I have hit a solid brick wall. Are there are web pages about
how to network? I have been losing data and having huge problems.

I need a full solution that works.

The problems are countless. What I need is a resource on the web so I
can understand the principles of computer networks especially security
and reliability. I can then direct the work to be done. The problem I
have is that the technical people I asked about this failed to
understand the value of the computers to the business. So when things
go wrong, they fail to understand the impact. So someone who
understands that impact needs to make key decisions.
