LAB 1: CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET


PC NETWORK TCP/IP CONFIGURATION & USING PING AND
TRACEROUTE

NAME : ANIS ZULAIKHA BINTI KAMAL


MATRIX NO : 2015862116
CLASS : RCS1105C

Note
 This lab assumes the use of any version of Windows.

1. To gather basic TCP/IP configuration information for Windows


NT/2000/XP use Start, Programs,Accessories,Command Prompt and
type ipconfig. For Windows 95/98/Me choose Start then Run. Type
winipcfg:

2. Below screen should appear. Record the following information:

IP address: 10.20.41.147
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

1
Default Gateway: 10.20.41.254

3. If your computer is on a LAN, compare the information on several


machines:
Are there any similarities? Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
What is similar about the IP addresses? First three octet
What is similar about the default gateway? Have same octet
What is similar about the MAC addresses? No similarities

Note: The IP addresses should share the same network portion. All
machines in LAN should share the same default gateway.

4. Check additional TCP/IP configuration information using More Info


button. Record below information:
Write the IP addresses of any server listed: 10.12.1.2
Write the computer Host Name: MK12_PC16
Write the Host Names of a couple of other computers: MK12_PC17
Do all the servers and workstations share the same network portion
of the IP address? Yes

5. To check additional TCP/IP configuration information using Windows


NT/2000/XP type ipconfig /all

6. Based on the observation, should the computers above be able to talk


to each other? Are they all in the same network? Why and why not? If
something is wrong, what is most likely the problem?

Yes, the computers are able to talk to each other because they are all
in the same network. If something wrong, it is probably because of
the computer is not connected to the network. For example, the cable
is unplugged or it is defective.

7. Type ping:
 The IP address of a computer to see whether the connection is
reliable.

2
 Ping to www.cisco.com

 Ping to DHCP and DNS server gained in step 4.

3
 Ping to 127.0.0.1

8. Type tracert:
 to www.cisco.com

4
 to local host name or IP address

9. What is the purpose of the following commands.


 Ping
Ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the
reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

 Ipconfig
Ipconfig displays the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for all
adapters.

 Netstat
Displays network connections for the Transmission Control Protocol (both
incoming and outgoing), routing tables, and a number of network interface
(network interface controller or software-defined network interface) and
network protocol statistics.

 Arp

5
The address resolution protocol (arp) is a protocol used by the Internet
Protocol (IP) [RFC826], specifically IPv4, to map IP network addresses to
the hardware addresses used by a data link protocol.

 Tracert
A utility that records the route (the specific gateway computers at
each hop) through the Internet between your computer and a specified
destination computer. It also calculates and displays the amount of time
each hop took.
