Nope, How will you be able to diagnose problems offsite if the network is down? lol think about it.

Not really - you tend to need to be on site in order to fix things when there are (a) physical problems or (b) the Internet connection goes down

Interesting answers from Peter & David there... Well done guys.. Done much remote support? I'm going to go ahead and assume that when you say 'Work from Home' you mean that you're going to dial-in when you can and attend site when you need to... I used to do this for a year or so AT&T and about 3 years for EDS in the UK - It's effectively how all of the companies who manage other peoples networks for them work... You work in one place, backdoored into the customers network and fix problems on the fly... When the main external link goes down, you either get a site contact to do some firstline checks on, or reboot, the router... If that doesn't fix it you liase with the service provider whilst you're getting in the car and driving to site... Plus there should always be a backup ADSL or at least ISDN line to get in under just these cicumstances... Of course, it also depends on what you mean by Network Admin - I've seen jobs with this kind of description that ended up being Active Directory / Exchange admionistrators.. These can both definately be done remotely.. But then I've also seen them where it means a guy that goes around offices patching people in (this you can't really do remotely).. Good luck
