Turns out: They took the QB endpoint device (i think) off of the Network with this firewall.... So now it wont work for a different program...

That's not what firewalls do.

It does when the computer wasn't put back on the same network .

@JaredBusch I didnt Say the firewall was the reason : The installation of the firewall is the reason because the Device never made it back on to the network .

Just got a message about another POS Support Job for another Company who also sells another POS System...
I thought you wanted real IT work?
Not sure what I actually want.
This will be crippling. There's no simple solution here, other than taking some time to make up your mind. But the first step to a happy career is knowing what career makes you happy. Of course you can like more than one, I have scores that would make me happy, but a few that I prefer a bit.
But if you lack focus, you are screwed. You'll be floundering and not be able to make any of them work like they should, partially because you don't have a place to dedicate your mental energy.
Maybe POS is the career for you. If so, you want to figure that out quickly and focus on getting a great POS career, rather than focusing on escaping it.

He's saying that firewalls go between networks, not in the middle of the network. Mapped drives are a LAN concept, so a firewall (device) would not be able to interact with them.
What part of putting on the firewall (think - security door to the outside) made access between rooms inside of a house (mapped drives) inaccessible?

But that's not what i was told happened...
The original house got blown up and 2 new houses were built; one with a security called watch gruad.
They aren't even remotely on the same network. the firewall has it's own Modem, Separate from the other.
. Why? Not even the slightest clue. -
Sneakernet time! Got an iDRAC trying to go tits up, so hard reset and update time.

@WrCombs Have you done any kind of professional personality assessment like StrengthsFinder or similar? That might be helpful on a certain level to understand things about yourself.
Something I tell my team is to look at the things that you are currently doing and when you get done ask yourself the question, "Did I gain energy or lose energy from that task, and why?" You can do some high level assessments of the things you love or hate. It may be that you love programming POS systems, but because you have to interact with a particular person, or people in general, that the task drains your energy. Things like that.

....And the iDRAC default IP won't work because of an old server with an unconfigured iDRAC at the same address... Reboot time.

I have not done a profession personality assessment in years... Highschool we were required every year to do one
that's a good practice. I'll see if I can implement that.

do you all remember the Kat Williams Joke Bout white people being too nice, getting wrong number calls?
Well my phone has rang 3 times today for Medicaid / Medicare because someone keeps transferring them to the wrong number - It's literally a 9 not a 7...
Happy Humpday
-
@WrCombs Yelling at the poor fool who is calling you because they were given the wrong number doesn't fix the issue.
You'd have to call up whoever was giving out the bad number and yell at them
And they'd probably continue to give out the wrong number to spite you!

I had my personal gmail address put into a Cigna document regarding requests for payment increases. I've gotten so many emails from people. My guess is that there is a person with the same email address, but without the "." between first and last name.

Didn't yell, But simply said.. " Nope, no connection to medicaid... Wrong Number.. Personal Cell Phone
its a 9 not a 7. " -
@WrCombs I get it, I get collections calls for someone who hasn't had my current number for at least 9 years. If I ever find that person I'm going to take my operators fees out of their kneecaps.
They are still using my number as the number they use when they sign up for credit cards and loans. . .

Got it fixed now. though. Everything back on the same network and I was able to map the drive after navigating to that computer through the file explorer
