Practical Task 2 - Configuring DHCP

This document provides instructions for two activities to identify network information using command prompt commands on a Windows 7 computer. The first activity shows how to use the "ipconfig /all" command to find the MAC address and IP address of the network adapter. The second activity provides two methods using the Control Panel and "ipconfig /all" command to determine the IP address. It also includes discussion questions to identify the student's computer MAC address, IP address, and three details revealed by the "ipconfig/all" command.
