Physical Address

You are to go through the Hands on exercise 5A on page 187 of the textbook.  You will need access to a networked computer with access to the PING, ARP and TRACEROUTE tool.  For some of the activity if you have a restrictive firewall you will need to search for a looking glass type services and modify your report accordingly (Google looking glass tools).  The exercise has a number of activities for you to perform but for the assignment, we only need the output and discussion for the following activities.  IF you are using non-Windows machines the commands may be slightly different.

IPCONFIG: Finding your computer settings

PING: Finding other computers

ARP: Displaying Physical Address

TRACERT: Finding Routes through the Internet

Each of the activities listed includes a number of deliverables that you will need to attach as part of your assignment submission.  For the output of the commands use the screen capture capabilities.  Under Windows use Cmd Alt Print Screen keys combinations to capture the current active window and then paste into a word document.  For Mac OS use Command-Shift-4, then space, and then click a window you want to capture.
