Welcome to the next level of your modular training in Computer Hardware Servicing (CHS) under
the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Course. In this module, you will have a great
deal of understanding of Configuring Computer Systems and Networks.
At the end of this module you will be able to apply the knowledge and skills on planning and
preparing for configuration, configure computer systems and networks and inspecting configured
computer systems and networks. Those skills are essential for you to pass the National Certification
II in Computer Hardware Servicing.

In this module, topics will be introduced progressively for easy understanding. After carefully
answering the pre assessment exercises, reading all the lessons, answering all the guide questions, skil
fully performing all the activities, showing evidences of learning and finally answering the summative
test you will gain a considerable knowledge and skills in configuring computer systems and networks
essential to be successful in computer hardware servicing as one of the career option in ICT.

Reminder! Just follow the instructions given in this module. Now let us start exploring new things
in this module.
Ping
The ping is a Command Prompt command used to test the ability of
the source computer to reach a specified destination computer. The ping command is usually
used as a simple way to verify that a computer can communicate over the network with another
computer or network device.
The ping command operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request
messages to the destination computer and waiting for a response. How many of those responses
are returned, and how long it takes for them to return, are the two major pieces of information
that the ping command provides.

 Table 8. Ping Command Syntax
Syn Description
t
ax
-t Using this option will ping the target until you force it to stop
using Ctrl-C.
-a - This ping command option will resolve, if possible, the
hostname of an IP address target.

-n count This option sets the number of ICMP Echo Request messages
to send. If you execute the ping command without this
option, four requests will be sent.
-l size Use this option to set the size, in bytes, of the echo request
packet from 32 to 65,527. The ping command will send a 32
byte echo request if you do not use the -l option.
-f Use this ping command option to prevent ICMP Echo Requests
from being fragmented by routers between you and the target.
The -f option is most often used to troubleshoot Path Maximum
Transmission Unit (PMTU) issues.
-i TTL This option sets the Time to Live (TTL) value, the maximum of
which is
255.
-v TOS This option allows you to set a Type of Service (TOS) value.
Beginning
in Windows 7, this option no longer functions but still exists for
compatibility reasons.
-r count Use this ping command option to specify the number of
hops between the computer and the target computer or device
that you would like to be recorded and displayed. The
maximum value for count is 9 so use the tracert
command instead. If you are interested in viewing all hops
between two devices.
-s count Use this option to report the time, in Internet Timestamp
format, that each echo request is received and echo reply is
sent. The maximum value for count is 4 which means that
only the first four hops can be time stamped.
-w timeout Specifying a timeout value when executing the ping command
adjusts the amount of time, in milliseconds, that ping waits for
each reply. If you do not use the -w option, the default timeout
value is used which is 4000, or 4 seconds.
-R This option tells the ping command to trace the round trip path.
-S srcaddr Use this option to specify the source address.
-4 This forces the ping command to use IPv4 only but is only
necessary if target is a hostname and not an IP address.
-6 This forces the ping command to use IPv6 only but as with the -
4 option, is only necessary when pinging a hostname.
target This is the destination you wish to ping, which is either an IP
address or a hostname.
/? Use the help switch with the ping command to show detailed
help about the command's several options.

Using the ping Command

Ping is one of your most important tools in troubleshooting Internet problems. It shows you
whether the Domain Name Server is working, whether the computer you are trying to talk to is
reachable, and how long it takes to get there. It does this at a very low level — only the most basic
Internet functions have to be up and running.

1) Click on Start Button, then type cmd (command prompt) on the search box.
2) A black screen will appear as shown in the figure below.
3)
Type ping followed by the IP address you desire to verify. The figure below shows the screen of
the ping command and its output.

ICT 10 • AG Mampalawod • TLE |PAGE 2

 Figure 57. Step 3

Figure 58. Pinging This output shows several things:

 Decoding names to network addresses — A domain name server (DNS) resolves machine
names to numeric addresses. A single machine can have many names, all of which resolve to the
same Internet address. In the example just given, the name www.google.com resolves to the Internet
address 122.2.152.23.

 Round-trip response time — The parts of the replies that say things like time=105ms
show you how long it took from the time the client machine sent out the ping message until a reply
came back (1 ms is 1 millisecond, or one thousandth of a second). The variability in the times you see
reflects that networks do not always respond identically. Differing amounts of traffic on the
communication lines or differing loads on the server are common causes. You will see very different
response times depending on the access equipment you use.
 Routing hop count — The part of the replies that says TTL=50 tells you about the route
the message took from one point to another. The acronym TTL stands for Time to Live, which is a
measure of how many rerouting from one point to another the packet has to go through before IP
declares it undeliverable. The number following TTL (called the hop count) is a number that usually
starts at 255 and counts down by one every time the message gets rerouted through an intermediary
computer.

Peer-to-Peer Network

In a peer-to-peer network, devices are connected directly to each other without any additional
networking devices between them, as shown in Figure 68. In this type of network, each device has
equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. Individual users are responsible for their own resources and
can decide which data and devices to share. Because of that, the network has no central point of
control or administration.

ICT 10 • AG Mampalawod • TLE |PAGE 3

 Figure 68. Peer-to-Peer Network

It allows certain files and folders to be shared with everyone or with selected users. Peer-to-
peer networks are quite common in small offices that do not use a dedicated file server. Files and
folders can be configured to allow network users to copy them, but not alter them in their original
location, which is a common safety precaution. However, files and folders can also be assigned a
"read/write" status that allows either selected users or all users on the network to change them.
Peer-to-peer networking differs from client-server networking, where certain devices have
responsibility for providing or "serving" data and other devices consume or otherwise act as "clients"
of those servers.

Setting up a peer-to-peer network in Windows XP

The steps described below are provided as a general guide that will work for most home
networking situations. However, it may not work for all scenarios.
Do the following steps to set up your own inclusive home network:
1. Make sure both systems have Network Interface Cards (NICs) installed and are using the proper cables.

Client-Server Network

In a client/server network, the server provides the requested information or service to the client.
Servers on a client/server network commonly perform some of the processing work for client
machines, such as sorting through a database before delivering only the records requested by the
client.

Figure 86. Client/Server Network

One example of a client/server network is a corporate environment in which employees use a

company e- mail server to send, receive, and store e- mail. The e-mail client on an employee
computer issues a request to the e- mail server for any unread e-mail. The server responds by
sending the requested e-mail to the client.
In a client/server model, the servers are maintained by network administrators. Data backups and
security measures are implemented by the network administrator. The network administrator also
controls user access to
the network resources. All the data on the network is stored on a centralized file server. Shared
printers on the network are managed by a centralized print server. Network users with the proper
permissions can access both the data and shared printers. Each user must provide an authorized
username and password to gain access to network resources that he or she is permitted to use. For
data protection, an administrator performs a routine backup of all the files on the servers. If a
computer crashes, or data is lost, the administrator can easily recover the data from a recent
backup.
