We are very pleased with the expansion of NetworkElites.  We have recently added 4 new Network Engineers and Desktop Personnel in order to better support or clients.  In addition, we have now gained several new clients, as well as a new law firm with over 4 dozen servers, and hundreds of PCs, and devices to support.  We are committed to bringing the best managed services  and the highest quality of customer support available.

Well, it’s not quite going to blow up. Perhaps you remember Y2k…no big deal right? Well this potential disaster will probably be averted, but it might not be as easy this time around.

Basics

Every device on the Internet is assigned an “IP Address” (IP stands for Internet Protocol). You know, those series of 4 numbers that identify who you are when communicating with the outside world. According to some sources, about 1 million of these are newly assigned per hour, which means that sometime in early February we will be fresh out!

To remedy this problem, a similar scheme will be employed (using numbers to identify machines), but it will, in essence, simply allow for larger numbers (actually letters will also be allowed into these “numbers”), thus allowing more potential addresses. This is known as IPv6.
