I am a computer technician, but I am currently working at a college. I want to 
return to work with computers, and I need to update my skills. I need to mess
around setting up some Wireless Networking and Windows Vista installations. 

My home network is Wired Ethernet/Linux, so does not suit my learning needs. 

I am in the Midlands, and I really could do with access to a computer facility 
with some Windows Vista and Wireless Networking stuff lying around, either for 
research or waiting to be installed. (I am thinking of a University computer 
facility, a college, a school, or large IT firm with this stuff still boxed up.)

I basically want to come in and set up a dummy network.

The skills I want to gain are basically familiarity with Windows Vista, and 
knowledge of Wireless Networking security and encryption.

I used to do wireless installations and site surveys when the technology was 
in its infancy (802.11b) , so I have some knowledge. I am really just doing a
skills update.

I live in Birmingham, and work in Staffordshire, and it is no problem for me 
to drive out. I'll take some time off work to come to the facility, so no 
problems.

I have an Enhanced CRB Disclosure and identification, so no problems there. (I 
work with children as part of another job that I do.)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Mark.
