Thank you for taking the time to read my post! Just thought that many of us have experienced similar situation at the dawn of their careers. Smilie

@spynappels

Yes, to end users we are all same. When we try to tell that it's not our issue exactly and some other team has to work on that, they think we are just giving "excuse" to get away. That hurts!

My intention in this case was not show off how capable I was. I just wanted to make up for the other teams ignorance as I know how it goes to the end users when something important does not work. I am an end user too for my companies IT team (yes they have separate IT team which takes care of internal infrastructure) and it would be really difficult for me to work if a proxy server or a terminal server, which gives us access to the client's infrastructure, goes down!

However, I have learned it hard way and have sworn that I will never repeat such crazy deed. Smilie
