Learning by Doing: CISCO Certified Network ... - SCN Research

You should see something like this:
Figure 1—Using windows explorer to “find” computers on the network.
Figure 2—The “find computer” option pop up window.
If it doesn’t work then check everything you have done so far and reboot
everything.
Supplemental Lab or Additional Activities:
1. Try to add in more computers. You will have to pick addresses that will
work.
2. Try to add in another computer with an IP address of 172.16.1.2 and a mask of
255.255.255.0. Do you think it will work? What happens when you try to
find it on the network? Ping it? Share files with it?
3. Is it possible to hide or secretly share a file? How would it work?
4. How would you change the identity of your computer on the network?
So What Have I Learned Here?
You have learned how to hook up several workstations to share files using a hub. You
learned that the IP addresses had to be within the same subnet in order to communicate
with each other. Also you were acquainted with the quirks of Microsoft networking for
small networks. Microsoft really likes having that hub out there to work.
