This pulls me away from the more productive, creative side of developing projects for our teachers, courses, and students, and is creating more frustration for me. We have a robust server and up-to-date networking software (mostly Macintosh), but I'm sure I not maximizing our use of it. What have been the most useful ways other lab directors have found to become more knowledgeable and efficient in handling networking systems and problems: formal training, manuals, on-line lists/groups, hard-knocks (ugghh), or other?
