I'm not spamming blogs on one day! Relax!!
I have contacted an estate agent but not to buy a house: No really. I have
This blog is about the usefulness and tasks e.t.c in an estate agents building. The interview, if you will, went very well and the kind woman on the phone was very helpful. I will put references at the end because that makes it easier!
Anyway. I’m here because on the same day I released the 5.1 and 5.3 blog, the guy who is guiding me through these seven GCSE’s by the hand quite frankly basically said for me to make an idiot of myself and call an Estate Agents (preferably local) and I have therefore decided to phone them so as they don’t see that awkward look on my face that tells them I don’t want to be there. So here we go: have fun reading what comes up in the next paragraph and if you’re looking for help then read further. I will call the given home task: Task 5.X (because it’s about module 5).
Thank you.

5.X A: The Basics.
This building was a LAN based network (meaning they all network under the same roof) there’s an even smaller network in each of the offices and they go through a Hub (somehow they have managed to make full use of it. Full marks to them BUT NOT THE HUB!) Hub’s benefit businesses like Estate Agents because a Hub will send the same bit of information to every computer that comprises within that network. If a computer isn’t in that network, they won’t get that information. That’s how a Hub works. It’s rather annoying when using one in a “Peer-to-peer” network so you should use a Switch if using a “Peer-to-peer” network. For more info on Hubs and Switches, go to 5.1 in my September blog archive.
I can’t remember if the very kind lady said if the were using Ethernet cables and NIC’s or using Wi-fi. I should think they were using Ethernets running across the wall behind a special cover with a special name. I have since forgotten the name of it because there is so much to remember in this unit that even having a photographic memory doesn’t help much. I think it’s called a Trunking. (If someone could fill me in on this then that would be great!).
They do have a file server and a print server in every office but all those are connected as well. They are connected with switches (thank god! If not I would’ve felt sorry for them!) Because if using a hub with print servers, then the printer would be very, very tired. Again, Hubs are not useful much.
I’ll try to draw it out (or at least try to. If you can make out my terrible drawing) if this still seems a bit unclear, however, if this has helped then that’s about it in a nutshell.
5.X B: References.
First off, I would just like to thank the Super-duper-mega-ultra-awesome kind woman on the phone for helping me out during all this. And then, most of all I would like to thank: Beal’s Independent Estate Agents in Gosport located around the middle of the high street if you live near by. In fact, I’m so happy and grateful, their website is going on my blog.
There we go! That’s all for now. I don’t really know what’s up next and to be frank: I don’t know if there is more of module 5 to follow.
Thank you! Thank you all!
