IT SURVIVAL KIT
Use a Windows XP network bridge
The XP Network Bridge lets you connect two network segments together. The Network Bridge functions in place of a traditional bridge or router by providing a means in software to create a named Bridge Connection that can be managed. The Network Bridge allows you to create a single IP subnet for an entire network. It also allows for connections between different types of media, and provides the means for forwarding packets when different protocols are used. A bridge can support multiple connections, both physical (modem or wireless cards, for example), or logical.

WINDOWS WORD CHALLENGE
Association of workstations with IP addresses
This is a part of NT and 2000 servers that manages the association of workstation names and locations with IP addresses without the user or an administrator having to be involved in each configuration change. It automatically creates a computer name-IP address mapping entry in a table, ensuring that the name is unique and not a duplicate of someone else's computer name. When a computer is moved to another geographic location, the subnet part of the IP address is likely to change. Using this technology, the new subnet information will be updated automatically.

THE MISSING LINK
IT a panacea for some, a pain for others

IT keeps some medicine cabinets busier than others. In a survey of 300 IT execs in the U.K., more than half said that IT has made their jobs less of a headache. What's interesting about this survey is the breakdown by sector. Two-thirds of respondents from manufacturing companies said that IT eased their job stress, but a whopping 81% from the finance sector cried "too much information!" They said that communications technologies (e-mail, IM) have made their jobs more stressful.
