Real Problem 3-1: Setting Up a Small Network Go to the discussion board in your school's L.MS (learning management system). After reading the following scenario, post your answers to the questions and discuss your findings in the forwm. Then respond to two of your classmates' threads with minimum 50 -word posts discussing their comments and ideas. Use complete sentences and check your grammar and spelling. The simplest possible wired network is two computers connected together using a crossover cable. In a crossover cable, the sen and receive wires are crossed so that one computer can send and the other computer receives on the same wire. At first glance, a crossover cable looks just like a regular network cable (also called a patch cable) except for the labeling, as shown in Figure 7 65. (In Chapter 8 , you learn how to distinguish between the cables by examining their connectors.) Do the following to set up and test a small network: - Connect two computers using a crossover cable. Using the Network and Sharing Center, verify that your network is up. Using ipconfig, determine each computer's IP address. What is the IPv4 address of Computer A? Of Computer B? - On each computer, try to ping the other computer. Does it work? Why or why not? What specific output do you get? - Convert the TCP/IP configuration to static IP addressing. Assign 192.168.10.4 to one computer and 192.168.10.5 to the other computer. The subnet mask for both computers is 255.255.255.0. - Ping each computer from the other computer. Does it work? Why or why not? - Without changing the subnet masks, change the IP address of one computer to 192.168.90.1. Can you still ping each computer? What specific output do you get? - Return the computers to the same subnet and IP addresses you used in step 3. Verify that each computer can ping the other
