08/03/2011 - Practical (Setting up a Network)

Good morning,

Unfortunately I did not update this blog last Tuesday so today there will be two posts!

Last Tuesday as you can see from the title we set up a network. This was a more hands on experience for the class. We were told to fire up four computers (when we found ones that actually worked) and then linked them together through a Switch. Once we had all PCs up and running and connected through the switch we had to assign all of them a different static IP. When the IPs were all configured we had to test the connection by Pinging all PCs from each PC. Once we knew they were all talking to each other we had to share a folder over the network.

Once this had been done we had to put everything away and write up some documentation on how we did it, this was good practice for working on the HelpDesk because it is important to take note so that if you are absent then someone can pick up from where you left.

So until this afternoon, Goodbye.
