so basically
You went to one of your mates clients buildings, Fucked up their network and walked off? And he called you because he thought you had some IT knowledge? Give up now, you haven't according to that post.

I never claimed to have IT Knowledge...
and indeed beyond basic home networking I had no knowledge, though I do now, mainly because that incident prompted me to learn more. I didn't point out (in the op) that this was 15 years ago and I was 20 or so and had NO IT qualifications at all.

However my friend seemed to think that was enough, hence why I went..and did exactly as asked..after clarifying that was what he wanted. I even pointed out over the phone before going that I only had knowledge of home networking (basically workgroups no domains) and he said that's fine, that's all you need.
It all turned out good though, got it sorted in the end and it prompted me to learn more(and promptly never use)

As for give up now? Yes I did..despite doing an A+ , MCDST and MCSE since then, I didn't like working in IT, same as I dislike any customer facing enviroment..because people are cunts and it's not good form to tell them so to their faces :D The only IT I do these days is fixing my mums windoze install whenever my brother visits and breaks it or the mother-in-law but in her case she breaks it herself. I can call them idiots and get away with it :D
