I don't expect most people to know what one is either. But if I told you that you are looking for something called the "MAC Address" would you ask me if the "IP Address" if what I was looking for? It is like someone asking you to go grab a 17mm wrench and then you finding a 19mm and then asking them if the 19mm is what they needed. Obviously not, if I needed a 19mm wrench I would have said 19mm not 17mm. At the most base level it is just matching. Something we all learned in preschool. Even if you didn't have a clue what a MAC Address is you should be able to match the characters on the screen that spell out the phrase "MAC Address" and realized that "IP Address" does not match. I am just expecting too much? Does this kind of thing happen to any of you guys? -
I am sure you will be flooded with these requests due to the influx of new students, so I'd suggest you suck it up, Sally, and start doing your job as a help desk employee.Leave a comment:

Mouthbreathers!
A small excerpt from the sham that is my life:
*Ring ring*
Kid: "I want to hook up my Xbox!"
Me: "Ok, I need you to get the Wired MAC Address for me"
Kid: "Ok, is it the IP Address?"
Me: *sigh*
No you fucking dolt, if I wanted you to find your IP Address I would have told you to give me your fucking IP ADDRESS. Seriously, are universities that hard up for cash that they will take any troglodyte that manages to spell their name even close to correct on the application? Oh don't worry Timmy, 70% of the letters is close enough, and feel free to abbreviate your last name, that is graduate level work at our fine institution. Here is your standard issue bong and case of cheap beer, go have fun! And don't even get me started on this assinine system that requires any networkable device that doesn't have the good fortune to posess a web browser to be registered manually by a human being.
