I have never had any issues not putting them in... But make sure you understand what they are at a bare minimum... Bonus points if you know how to calculate them.
Bah, that's why we have the interwebs

I recall when I learned how to calculate it - for a while I just assumed anyone higher than me on the IT food chain must know this stuff - boy was I wrong.

I know, right? The only reason I remember is because my CCNA prof made sure we knew how to do subnet calculations on paper from day one.

I learned it when I was self learning Windows NT stuff. My company at the time was all Windows 3.1 and a bit Windows 95 with Netware on the servers. For some reason I really like NT 4.0 and bought some books and started learning.

Out of all the Microsoft Server versions I've used over the years, 2000 was my favorite with NT4.0 only falling out of the favorite slot because of the tiny boot partition, even at that time 2GB was kinda small.

Yeah, this was stuff that I was expected to know to get my first IT job. How the heck did anyone working in IT already not know it! And yet... they didn't.

Well, I used Server 2000 for a desktop back in the pre XP days, just to have a stable platform to game on
Linux/UNIX world was always so much more stable. -

That wasn't the transition, though. The Windows 9x world was consumer, Windows NT was business. Windows 2000 was the continuation of the already most of a decade old NT family. So had you moved to the NT world "as soon as you could" you would have done so before Windows 95 even released. Windows ME was the continuation of the 9x family, Windows 2000 was NT 5. So you jumped mid-stream.

Yes I know all that - I don't know why my office never really used NT3.51... we went from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 to Windows 2000 at that office.
I personally tossed NT 4.0 in there.

I still prefer NT4 by far. 2000 was actually my least favourite.
Well, I used Server 2000 for a desktop back in the pre XP days, just to have a stable platform to game on
Linux/UNIX world was always so much more stable.Yes, I did the same thing. I moved to Windows 2000 as fast as possible. Win9x was so unstable...
That wasn't the transition, though. The Windows 9x world was consumer, Windows NT was business. Windows 2000 was the continuation of the already most of a decade old NT family. So had you moved to the NT world "as soon as you could" you would have done so before Windows 95 even released. Windows ME was the continuation of the 9x family, Windows 2000 was NT 5. So you jumped mid-stream.
Yes I know all that - I don't know why my office never really used NT3.51... we went from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 to Windows 2000 at that office.
I personally tossed NT 4.0 in there.
I have always had the sense that most businesses did just that. 3.11 > 95 > 2000.

I have never had any issues not putting them in... But make sure you understand what they are at a bare minimum... Bonus points if you know how to calculate them.
Bah, that's why we have the interwebs
That's also why it's bonus points if you know how to calculate it.
I recall when I learned how to calculate it - for a while I just assumed anyone higher than me on the IT food chain must know this stuff - boy was I wrong.
I know, right? The only reason I remember is because my CCNA prof made sure we knew how to do subnet calculations on paper from day one.
I learned it when I was self learning Windows NT stuff. My company at the time was all Windows 3.1 and a bit Windows 95 with Netware on the servers. For some reason I really like NT 4.0 and bought some books and started learning.
Out of all the Microsoft Server versions I've used over the years, 2000 was my favorite with NT4.0 only falling out of the favorite slot because of the tiny boot partition, even at that time 2GB was kinda small.

Every business I dealt with back then went that route.
