Professional– If you are interested in a network career, definitely pursue this

• Other certifications:– Network+ from CompTIA at

http://www.comptia.org/certification/network/default.aspx/resources.aspx which fits very nicely with MIS 430 conceptual material

Grading and Assessment

• Final grade is based on 500 points system:– 3 exams at 100 points– Lab projects at 150 points: very important part!– Quizzes and daily at 50

• Letter grades are based on 90%=A, 80%=B, ….• Some extra credit may be available – see me. It

must be relevant to a current topic and substantive.

• Projects may be written as a group and 1 copy turned in; no grading difference between individual and group write-up.

First Week MIS 431 Spring 2006 17

Prepare to Install Operating System

• Connect network cable to Ethernet port• Connect monitor cable to video port• Connect mouse, keyboard cables• Connect power to monitor, computer

• Follow assembly instructions for Windows XP Prof.– Insert CDROM, make sure boots from CD first

• If not boot from CD 1st, restart and go into BIOS setup and change

• Note your machine’s name and IP address on name plate for use during setup– Domain is ISUSDSNT– Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0– DNS is 139.102.48.35 and 139.102.7.102– Gateway is 139.102.31.1

First Week MIS 431 Spring 2006 18

Planning a Network model

• Networking Terminology– Client: workstation computer– Server: computer that performs network sharing for

files, printing, and other resources– Workgroup: group of clients (and servers) that share

files and resources– Peer to peer network: use a non-dedicated client as

server within a small workgroup (no server)– Server-based network: use a dedicated server

First Week MIS 431 Spring 2006 19

Peer to Peer Networking

• Use a common protocol: NetBEUI or TCP/IP• Common workgroup name (e.g., ISUSDSNT)• Install File and Print Sharing on shared device• Share the

– Drive/folder– Printer

• Go to Network Neighborhood to locate other peers on the network: it works well for small number of users, up to 10

• For versions before Windows 2000 – don’t share by user name but by passwords. See next page..

First Week MIS 431 Spring 2006 20

Peer to Peer Networking with Windows 2000/XP Prof.

• When you share resources …– Must give permission to use that resource to a

specific user name– Therefore each user of your computer must have a

user name on that machine• They must log in with that user name and password on their

own machine; Windows picks it up automatically when they try to use shared resource

– Much simpler to give permissions to groups and then assign users to the group

• Ex: Power Users group can be given permissions to use printers, change the print queue, etc.

• Avoid making people a member of the Administrators user group unless that must have that level of permission!
