    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    But then, it doesn't really matter if this is THE ONE, since this is PRICELESS!! icon_eek.gif

    FYI -- CCIE Lab pass rates seem to be higher for people clustered with CCIEs and other CCIE Candidates.... and not necessarily just from NDA violations. Let's just say hanging around people working at a much higher level than mere mortal tends to bring out the best in others (if they survive).

    Thanks guys, I think this was the lower paying job but there is a possibility for a promotion within a year so it seems like a better opportunity to me. It was funny when the manager took me back to rack that had like 30-40 routers/switches and said "this can be your playground, this is the testing area and people use is to also practice for their certs". :)

    Funny would have been asking "Which one is the router?" icon_lol.gif

    Or "which one is running the Internet?" icon_lol.gif

    But since you got the job, I guess you kept your sense of humor in check. :D

    Lol, I did use some humor in the interview, lightened things up a bit and it seemed to help me get the job I think.

    I used to be undecided but now I'm not so sure.

    Congrats.

    I got the CCNA, I have more exp with Widnows Server than Cisco routers and switches (I have exp with networking but not in Cisco). I did not get a dream job like you got, but I helped me to find another job where I have to work with Cisco Firewall 501 and ASA, I did not know anything about that kind of firewall but with the help that I got here and I read the book I could configured it.

    Congrats.

    It is your personal IPS to stop the attack.

    Actually with the bonus I can get, it will be in the low 50's to be honest, it's much better than the high 30's which is where I am now. I start my new job on Monday. :)
