Computer Networking: Enhancing the Gaming Experience
There was a time when people would rave about 2-D arcade games such as Pac Man, Pong, and Space Invaders. Since then, the gaming industry has turned itself into a moneymaking behemoth, and has connected itself to other industries as well such as music, merchandise, and advertising. Video games nowadays come in different forms and genres, and one of the most exciting types of gaming is through computer networking.
Playing with LAN
Gamers of all ages have enjoyed video games through the magic of a local area network. This connects a series of computers together, and enables them to share information. Through LAN, players are able to link their games together, and can play multiplayer games battling each other, and even team up. Some of these games come in the form of first person shooters where the players can be a team of S.W.A.T. officers, a military group, secret agents, interstellar soldiers, and the list goes on. A lot of other genres are also present and make great games because of LAN capabilities.
The rise of MMORPG
Massively multiplayer online role-playing games have been on of the more popular type of games lately. These are your usual role-playing games where you control a particular character, start out with menial equipment, and do a lot of quest in order to become stronger and gain money. MMORPGs have taken this even further. Because of the Internet, players are now able to interact with each other in a virtual environment. In the game, players may choose to trade equipment, help each other with quests, battle each other, and fight monsters side-by-side.
Some games of this genre allow the players to have their own professions so that they can earn the currency of the “world” that they are in (it’s usually gold and silver). These games have become so addictive, because there are so many things that you can do in the games. The interactive world that you are playing in can be so big, that traveling from one place to another could take you a long time. Some gamers have been so addicted that there even has been a story of a guy that was divorced by his wife because of his MMORPG addiction. Well, as long as you are a responsible individual then there should be no problem at all with playing these types of games.
Virtual items
People have become so serious when it comes to these MMORPGs, that it has even come to the point of them buying items used inside the game and using real money. Some would spend hundreds of dollars to acquire items, or even strong characters. There are particular websites where you can auction such items. There are some cases where this is outlawed because you don’t actually buy a tangible item.
Computer networking has made the possibilities of gaming endless. There are countless more innovations to come, and who knows what the next trend might be. It’s a great thing that technology such as the Internet and local area networks are able to bring us better entertainment.

For the position you are applying for – you will be expected to know:
What is a logon?
What is a secure password?
How do you map a network drive?
How do you find a file on a network?
Your not applying for a sysadmin job. They will not expect you to understand network administration. They want to to understand how to be a user of a network

It depends on just how far you are wanting to take it. Are you setting up a network for public use, your private web page, or just a home network. A home network is pretty easy and if you buy a router most will have a tech support number with a real person that will guide you the whole way. As for anything more complicated, either take a class or go to half price books and look through the resources.

Virtualization in computers refers to setting up an environment in which a complete computer (refered to as the guest machine) is installed on another computer (refered to as the host machine). The virtualization software acts as the hardware for the computer installed in its environment and passes the proper commands to the host computer to accomplish the task and then translating the results back to the guest computer. This is virtulization at i
Microsoft and VMWare provide virtualization programs. In addition if you are interested there is an opensource virtualiztion environment called virtualbox. I recommend this for someone who is trying virtualization out. Remember that you need licences for the operating system and software you install in the virtual environment. This is one of the reasons I recommend virtualbox because it works will with linux and you can download and install different versions of linux on it without a worry about licensing. It is also a good way to try out linux. Also the documentation on virtualbox is pretty good.

I would start by getting some solid clients, maybe look at craigslist for local needs and then build a foundation from that.

You can easily find job there; For that must thing is that you should have enough experience to clear their requirements.
For getting job in computer networking you have to be CCNS or MCSE certified. Try to gain knowledge and then go for it.
Give your 100% otherwise not.
Best of Luck Dude
