y own machine using the IP of 127.0.0.1 to make sure my computer was properly configured. The next part of the lab had us configure TCP/IP to use static IP and static DNS server addresses. This was done by going to the properties of TCP/IP. I changed the IP address and selected to use a DNS server. I pinged my partners’ computer to test the changes I had made. Next, I configured TCP/IP to automatically obtain an IP address and a DNS server address. I used TCP/IP properties to make all necessary changes. I used ping to determine the IP assigned to my computer. Next we worked together to use Automatic Private IP Addressing. I released my ipconfig settings then renewed them and used ipconfig to review the changes. The last exercise had us obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Lab 8: Installing Additional ProtocolsThis lab had us install the non-routable protocol NetBEUI. This protocol was installed from the Local Area Connections window. I selected install, protocol and then selected NetBEUI. Other protocols can also be installed in the same way. Lab 9: Working with Network BindingsThis lab helped to get us familiar with working with protocols. The first thing I did was change the binding order of the protocols on my computer. I changed my bindings to have TCP/IP bound first then NetBEUI bound second. The lab then had us unbind TCP/IP by un-checking the box next to it. I then removed the NetBEUI protocol and then bound the TCP/IP protocol by putting a check in the box next to TCP/IP. The computer was then restarted so the changes I made would take effect. Lab 10: Searching Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory Directory ServicesThis lab helped to get us familiar with searching the Active Directory services on another computer. I searched the active directories of the Instructor2 computer and my partners’ computer. Next I searched Active Directory for a user. I did a search for people under Searc...
