The owner explains that there is very little documentation and provide you with a network diagram. You agree to accept the contract and start you investigation. You contact the office manager of the Olympia office and find that all internal users can connect to internal resources, and other offices can connect to the server within their office but none of the internal users can connect to any of the other officer.
