    Which Degree is right for me?

    Windows 2003 SP2 + R2??

    they are 2 different versions of the OS, R2 is a later release, but it's not a service pack, so you can't legally go from 2k3-sp2 to R2 without buying an R2 license.

    WEP security question

    I would also like to see this... from my understanding wpa/wpa2 is uncrackable with a random character passcode over 22 characters. Like all the computers on earth needing more time than the age of the known universe to crack.

    you need to remove tcp/ip from the wireless nic and assign all your vm's to that nic's number in vmware. vmware will handle the rest.
