I had a similar situation at our church-- and successfully used a
cardboard antenna booster I made from "freeantennas.com". Seems silly,
but it worked. NOTE: Requires you have the workstation/laptop antenna
*in* the booster receiver. In my case, the desktop had a wireless card
with a moveable
Lastly, I don't think anyone mentioned trying a cantenna. That is, a
directional antenna booster (or waveguide) made from a can. Requires
your laptop have a wifi 'antenna' that you can attach.
I don't know if you want to go this far, but it's worthy of note as an

should
My personal theory on this is, the typical type of troubleshooting
skills that a good sysadmin has, simply cannot be taught.It has to
do with your personality, how you were raised, your inquisitive nature,
your willingness to take risks, and so on.
The *technical* tidbits, yes, can be t

they are there!
IF they are there..indeed!
I agree that a hands off management style is best - "here's a dead box,
fix it".
In a solaris sysadmin class I took years ago, while we were all at
lunch, the instructor
My theory on sysadmin mistakes is-- they will happen. Hell, I'm a
senior SA-- many of us are, and I admit, there's still times when uh,
something doesn't go as planned.
As far as that goes, my thought process always goes to-- "ok, that
