You are working as an administrator for a company named Adventure Works, a leading
supplier of skiing and snowboarding equipment. You are working with Andrew, a
manager in the Engineering department who has recently made the decision to work
several days each week from home. The company has provided Andrew with a new
notebook computer that is running Windows XP Professional.
1. Andrew’s notebook has a network adapter built-in. When he is at work, Andrew
will connect the notebook to the company network. The company uses a DHCP
server to provide IP addresses to computers on the network. How should you
configure Andrew’s computer to connect to the company network?
2. When Andrew is at home, he will connect his notebook computer to a digital subscriber
line (DSL) modem supplied by his ISP. The ISP has issued Andrew a static
IP address. How should you configure Andrew’s computer so that it will use the
static IP address when he is at home without interfering with the DHCP service on
the company network?
