Good network admin website?

[cpals]

I was thinking about getting a subscription to one of these places:

windowsitpro.com or experts-exchange.com

Which one is better and/or is there a different website that has a more active user base?

I'm getting my feet wet in network administration and I'm trying to learn as much as possible and if problems arise it's nice to have good places to look for answers (besides Anandtech).

Thanks.

get a subscription to network world or possibly windows networking

they're all free and have good information from time to time.

 

experts exchange pisses me off

i hate searching for help, finding a post on their site with pretty much EXACTLY the same scenario, and then being forced to register to see the solution

i registered once, and the motherflippin problem hadn't been resolved :|:|:|

I don't care for forums that you have to pay for. You're getting no guarantee that the idiots who take time to post know what they're talking about. I've found it's better to search the vendor sites and get on listservs by going to trade shows and think tanks. It just depends on what I'm needing to do research on or support that makes the difference of what I use. I certainly wouldn't pay for Experts Exchange, etc...

Finding it via Google will let you see the entire thread.

I like tek-tips.com

you know, if you scroll down past the big blue area, the discussion/answers are there?
*edit* see iamwiz's post above

LOL. I payed the 9.95 to register there once. My problem hasn't been resolved either. Eventually they just closed the thread because nobody responded.

Thanks guys for the good responses.

tek-tips is pretty good

but I wish anandtech would add a new forum for system admins
