Dear Mr Shahid

few suggestion, which I believe will help you in the long run -- if you
wish to stay in IT, that is

1. try not to use language that only you and a handful of your mates
understand -- what is the point in getting rid of the vowels? if I find
your message difficult to read, I would rather not read it.

2. before asking any question, make sure you know what you are asking
and why you are asking. There is no way people around the world will be
fully aware of what you expect or what you problems are, and if you are
not prudent enough to put your query right, why on earth should people
even get back to you for further clarification? for a starter, you can
read through this link
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

3. if you feel frustrated, fine, I too am frustrated by your approach of
presenting the problem. Will you care enough to make sure next time you
write in proper case, in fully comprehensive words, in full details?

4. My experience might not be conclusive, but bdlug is the most enduring
and softest list I am a member of. Try your first mail to any of the
well established lists, and if you get any positive answer in the first
seven days -- please do let me know. Not only will you be flamed, but
most of the people who can *actually* give you the solution will not
even open your mail in the next few months -- no matter how much you try.

5. Don't expect to be spoon-fed -- if you wish someone else to do your
work, make sure you are willing to pay the proper price for it,
otherwise, do it on your own. It is not at all an issue about your
expertise about networking or IT, rather more of an issue of your
initiatives to overcome the situation.

and it *is* like that, irrespective of whether you feel frustrated or
encouraged, indifferent to whether you like it or not.

BTW, if and when you are quoting someone, quote properly -- otherwise it
becomes a slander. The sentence you put in between those quotation mark
is not what I wrote.

happy linuxing
