 Mr. Palmer,

I'm going to say this as tactfully as I can; I don't mean to offend you;
however, I hope, for your sake, that no one you work with is on this
listserver.  I don't think they would like to be finding out that they hired
someone to do a job that didn't have the qualifications or experience
required.
Best of luck to you.

Subject: New Job.

Hello all. I would like to send a thank you before hand for the
response's and suggestions I am to recv from this email.
 
After month's of searching, I have been hired into a job position as the
Network Administrator. The company currently has a very bad setup of
there Network infrastructure and has hired me to come in, asses the
damage, and design a network, no matter the budget, that would help to
keep and grow them for the future.

I have very little experience (on the job training) with designing a
network. I am a new graduate of Technical college, where I graduated
with all A's, and did very well on my Capstone with designing/building a
Network infrastructure.
I have 5 to 6 years in the IT field, N+, A+, Solaris 10, Linux+, and the
AS degree in Computer Network Systems;CCNA-pending. My experience comes
from designing/building PC/Laptops, remote desktop support, and my most
pervious position was System Database admin on Solairs/Unix
platform;Telnet,SSH,VNC,VPN, VT100 Terminal..etc to remote clients. 

What I ask from you expert's is this. 

Help!! I would like to be pointed in a direction that may help to guide
me in creating a "beginners" style network.
Are there any basic/template designs available?

There are a list of things I know we need.

1. A new Web Server.
2. File server
3. FTP server
4. Application server
5. Cisco routers.
6. A wall mount rack.
