As a computer technician, there is a lot of information that we need to remember. DOS commands, BSOD STOP messages, Router passwords, IP addresses etc… and thats just to name a few. This is why I have created the Computer Technicians Quick Reference Guide. Its a PDF file with information we frequently have to keep looking up.
The Computer Technicians Quick Reference Guide Contains:
- Useful DOS Commands
- Common STOP Messages and their meanings
- Important Data Locations
- Common Router/Modem Login Details (D-Link, Netgear, Linksys)
- OpenDNS.com DNS Servers
- Useful IP Addresses
- BIOS Beep Codes
- RJ-45 Color Code Pinout
- Useful Links
- Freeware Alternatives

What a great idea. Thanks a million.
Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks
Thanks. Great mind u have.
Oh yeah, after checking this out… it’s really gonna be handy. This is going with me on all gigs from here on forward. Cant’ believe I hadn’t thought about doing this yet, but Bryce… thanks again!!!
Good work Bryce, thanks. Nice to have all this stuff in one spot.
One suggestion, if I might, could you add the pinout diagram for an rj-45 crossover cable?
Thanks again.
well how do i get this, already a member?
aaa ha, unsubscribe and subscribe
Thanx, Bryce.
This is a fine cheat sheet and an awesome gesture (or bribe), my friend.
I have a lot of stuff like this saved in multiple formats scattered all over my various USB keys, bootable tech discs and workshop hard drives (probably like many of the other folks here lol). So, I’ll likely treat this as a starter sheet and add to it as I come across my other cheats & reminders.
I especially like Redmilkvan’s idea of adding the pinouts for RJ-45 cables, but I’ll be adding both crossover as well as standard since I don’t have either memorized.
Thanks again.
