About Toasty Answers

---

The goal of this channel is to provide some networking and various other related tutorials. It's centered around Cisco certification topics, but I branch out into Home Networking and game server topics as well. Hopefully, I can explain how to do these various topics in a way that is understandable and simple. I try not to gloss over what is actually being configured so that there can be some level of understanding.
