That's what all the training materials are missing. I want to fast track this section with practical practice problems.
The reason why learning something likely calculus is so straight forward is because you can just do tons of problem sets and eventually you develop the instinct for it which by default comes with understanding. I want the same thing for networking. Problem sets is the key. I guess this is a start up idea.
What do you do to resolve?
Can you say it a different way?
That's literally my only route. For example, if I asked you, how do you fix a refrigerator without a broken refrigerator in front of you... what would you do? Likely google it too.
It's hard to frame the question in a way that's actually educational in the sense that it triggers problem solving. Right now the question is framed in a way where I can only look up the answer. You see what am saying? I can't actually help you here either because I don't know how to frame it correctly.
You could possibly ChatGPT it, sure.
Or you could just answer it, and let someone correct you if it's incomplete or off-base.
We probably won't be able to help with compulsions to "cheat yourself out of learning". That's a "you" thing. =]
The question was framed in a way where the question is total shit. I was being nice but the minute you say it's a "you" thing I'll just spill it. The question is garbage. You shouldn't ever do this it's not your thing. You can't teach and you don't know how to respect the person your teaching.
First off I can google it. First result: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/ethern... But I wasn't saying that. I'm saying that google is the ONLY option based off the way you framed it. You don't want to present a problem where the only way they can solve it is to google it.
The question needs to be framed in a way where the user has the tools he needs to solve the problem. If the task is how do you build a lego house, you need to provide the person with legos so he can design a house and learn what legos are. If you ask such a question to a person who doesn't know what legos are, doesn't know how legos work, then your question is complete fucking garbage. Get it?
Here's a suggestion. List a set of common networking tools in which a subset would be appropriate to solve the problem. That's one way of how it could work. You don't say hey, that's a "you" thing. No man. It's you. Yeah if you didn't catch the hint we're done.
In my case, about a decade ago, it was the cable being partially broken, not something else, as 95% of the Google results have as a resolution.
Check into game theory when you're bored with networking.
Even if my question was the stupidest, least helpful question in the world, becoming aggressive won't accomplish your goals.
Happy to be "done".
wireshark, ifconfig, route, ping, netstat, etc are your REAL friends on Linux! :)
The environment would have to be interactive though. Not a written problem set but some network of containers that exhibits the problem. That's how one gets the experience.
Think: leetcode for networking. I would pay for that.
