1. Complete Project 4-1 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit.
o This project requires a workstation running Windows XP, Vista, or 7 that has the TCP/IPv4 protocol suite installed. Ideally, the workstation would be connected to a LAN that allows Internet access; however, this project does not require LAN or Internet access. You will also need a sheet of paper and pencil. In this project, you will view and modify a client’s TCP/IP properties using the ipconfig command. You should be logged on to the Windows workstation as a user with administrator privileges.

2. Complete Project 4-3 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit.
o In the following steps, you will learn more about the PING (Packet Internet Groper) utility, which can be used on a network running IPv4 to verify that TCP/IP is configured correctly and communicating with the network. A ping test is typically the first thing network professionals try when troubleshooting a TCP/IP connection problem. For this project, you can use any type of workstation that’s running TCP/IPv4, preferably one connected to the Internet. The output described in the following steps assumes you are using a Windows XP, Vista, or 7 workstation. However, you could just as easily use a UNIX or Linux workstation. The output returned by the ping command on a UNIX or Linux workstation may be formatted slightly differently. Also, if you are using a UNIX or Linux workstation, you will need to press CTRL+C to halt the ping process after you have determined whether a host is responding. Rather than sending only four packets, the ping command on a UNIX or Linux host will keep sending packets until you stop it. (6 associated tasks)
