Using Windows Applications as Network Tools vLab (15 points)
Write a paragraph (minimum five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCO’s and other course material; and just as important, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (10 points) In this lab I learned how to utilize windows applications as network tools. I was able to use command prompts in order to view network details. This relates to the TCO by showing you how to use some methods on how to properly access network tools. I feel more confident now when it comes to understanding the data displayed in the command prompt. This will help me in the future if I ever have to troubleshoot or view certain information about my network.

-------------------------------------------------
Copy and Paste the following screenshots from your Using Windows Applications as Network Tools lab below.
Task 1, Step 3: Paste a screenshot of the “ipconfig” command showing your network addressing. (.625 points) After reading the explanation for this command in the “Sample Solution,” explain why the output of this command is so important to the operation of this particular host within the network. (.625 points)
IPCONFIG is important because it is the command line tool used to control the network connections. With the information given with this command you can view what is actually going on in the network and if any problem persist, where it is happening.
Task 1, Step 7: Paste a screenshot of the ping command showing a successful ping. (.625 points)

After reading the explanation for this command in the “Sample Solution,” explain what it means if a “ping” command is successful? (.625 points)
If a ping command is successful it is confirming that the internet is up and running. The domain or ip address used to send out the ping is accessible if the ping is returned back successful.

Task 1, Step 19: Paste a screenshot of the output of the “ipconfig /all” command. (.625 points)

What are some of the additional parameters that are listed here that weren’t displayed in the previous use of the command? (.625 points)
IPCONFIG displays the details of only your computer while on the other hand IPCONFIG/ALL displays the details of everything on the network. It is basically the same information just broken down into more detail.
Task 1, Step 22: Paste a screenshot of the trace route command showing a successful trace to IP address 4.2.2.1. (.625 points)

After reading the explanation for this command in the “Sample Solution,” in your own words, explain what the output of the “tracert” command indicates? (.625 points)
The TRACERT command indicates the path that an ip packet took in order to reach its destination.

Troubleshooting TCP/IP Problems Lab (15 points)

Write a paragraph (minimum five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCO’s and other course material; and just as important, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (10 points)
In this lab I learned how to troubleshoot tcp/ip problems by using certain operating system applications and features. By performing this lab I learned the various steps that are useful when using troubleshooting techniques on the tcp/ip. This relates to our weeks TCO by teaching us how to use the certain procedures to ensure the proper way to troubleshoot. This is something I can greatly benefit from after learning the correct steps to take when needing to complete a task as similar as this one. This is always a useful technique to properly know how to utilize in case you ever run into problems either in your house or in a professional setting.

-------------------------------------------------
Copy and Paste the following screenshots from your Troubleshooting TCP/IP Problems lab below.
Task 1: Step 1, Paste a screenshot of your successful logon to the Vancouver server as the Vancouver User. (.625 points)

Briefly describe the process used to login to the server. (.625 points)
After clicking on the Vancouver computer system I was prompted to login to the system. I then typed in the username and password that was given to me which at that point logged me into the Vancouver server.
Task 2: Step 2, Generate and view network traffic, Action f. Paste the screenshot of the “ping” command output of IP address 192.168.1.200. (.625 points)

What is significant about receiving a “reply” from the host you are pinging? (.625 points)
The significance about receiving a reply from the host you are pinging is that it confirms that your connection is good. The more replies received from the ping, the stronger the connection is.
Task 2: Step 3, Paste a screenshot of the results from your network data capture. (.625 points)

At this point in your education, you probably won’t understand the details of the information that you just captured, but in general, what do you think is pictured in the data capture? (.625 points)
My guess as to what is being displayed in the data capture is information on everything running in the system. I would say it is like peeking under the hood of a computers system.
Task 3: Step 1, Paste the screenshot of the Microsoft Network Monitor capture summary window showing the ICMP frames displayed in red. (.625 points)

What command do you think caused the generation of the ICMP packets? (.625 points)
The ping command which then generated them and allowed me to view them.
