At Portero we had an issue with our network.

I know enough about networking to understand the basics. I actually used to work on the IOS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_IOS) back during the dawn of the internet. Though things have changed since then, the biggest issue is I don’t remember enough to fix network configuration issues on the router level.

Before I took the post at Portero, we had a company we contracted to configure all of our Cisco (http://www.cisco.com) equipment. They sold us the equipment and peformed the original installation. Unfortunately they had some issues that they were never able to solve. Despite going up the ladder to the executive level, they still were unable to properly configure a VPN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network) connection for us. More shocked than anything at their inability to perform a core function of the companies competence, I terminated our contract with them and began a search for a replacement.
