Me: ”Your employees are saying they can’t get on the internet.”
Client: ”Did they restart?”
Me: ”Yes, but the problem is the wireless is not connected to the internet. Did you change something?”
Client: ”Oh, yeah you have to plug them in to ethernets. I turned the wireless off because someone could hack into our wireless.”
Me: ”We use 256-bit encryption, that’s not possible. Anyway, you didn’t pay the guy that wired the place, so he never terminated most of the cables.”
Client: ”Just go terminate it and connect it to the server.”
Me: ”I’m a programmer, not a networker, and I don’t have the equipment to tone and terminate. Besides, we couldn’t find those cables, which is the reason we put them on the wireless anyway. And you don’t connect the ethernet to the server.”
Client: ”Whatever, just figure it out. We can’t have people hacking our wireless.”
Me: ”So really, you want to block someone from sitting in the parking lot and using the internet, blocking your employees from working in the process?”
Client: ”Someone hacked my wireless at home.”
Me: ”Now we’re getting to the root of the problem.”
