The IP Address and MAC address of the modem is not shown. The Dell XPS 13 is only turned on during web surfing usage. Yeah, a bit careless on my part but my own system that I use is Windows 11 on a Surface Pro 8.

Hey @anon48059102 I do freelance computer work, I work for myself so I donât have daily tasks. I just get calls at random times from my clients with computer problems.
Iâve been using computers since I was a youngster and Iâm self taught, I learned by doing a lot of reading and then actually doing things on my computer for practical experience. I wrote my CompTIA computer certifications to prove to people I knew something about it.
I do all kinds of things, setting up private cloud server using Linux (I can use any distro but I stick with Ubuntu because itâs just simpler to always use the same thing and it is well supported). Iâve done some website design and programming. I build custom computers for people, troubleshoot problems, setup printers, a variety of things really.
Sometimes I come across problems I donât know anything about so I have to do some reading. I normally deal only with residential and small business clients but I had an opportunity with a large million dollar business ask me to setup a QNAP NAS and integrate into their network for backup purposes, which I knew nothing about, so I had to download the manual and read it, but I got it all working they way the client wanted it. Other times I have to do a quick search on Google. Sometimes I figure it out on my own, and of course there are times when I already know what to do.
I wrote a post asking people for their opinions on my website here (I posted a screenshot), I blurred out all the personal information but you can see what I do by looking at it. Youâll probably need to view it with a computer, I donât think youâll be able to read it on a smartphone because it is a screenshot of the desktop version of my website (Itâs also mobile friendly but I didnât post a screenshot of the mobile version)

When I was learning Linux I bought âLinux in a Nutshellâ. I also bought some OâReilly books on PHP and MySQL to learn how to program, plus I read a ton on the Internet. Join technology forums, there are thousands and thousands of people out there willing to help you when you canât figure something out while you are learning, and even after you start working. There is so much to IT that nobody knows EVERYTHING!
Good luck with your career!
