Or, Use two cables and the switch to connect two computers 1 Identify the proper Ethernet cable and connect the two PCs a. The connection between the two PCs will be accomplished using a Category 5 or 5e crossover cable. The connection between PCs and the switch will will be accomplished using a Category 5 or 5e straight-through cable. Be sure to examine the cable ends carefully and select only a crossover cable. b. What kind of cable is required for your choice? c. What is the category rating of the cable? 2 Verify the physical connection a. Plug in and turn on the computers. To verify the computer connections, insure that the link lights on both NICs are lit. Are both link lights lit? 3 Access the IP settings window Note: Be sure to write down the existing IP settings, so that they can be restored at the end of the lab. These include IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. If the workstation is a DHCP client, it is not necessary to record this information. Click on Start Settings Control Panel and then click the Network Connection icon. Select the Local Area Network Connection and click on Change settings of this connection. Select the TCP/IP protocol icon that is associated with the NIC in this PC. Click on Properties and click on Use the following IP address. See the example below: 4 Configure TCP/IP settings for the two PCs a. Set the IP address information for each PC according to the information in the table. b. Note that the default gateway IP address is not required, since these computers are directly connected. The default gateway is only required on local area networks that are connected to a router. 5 Access the Command or MS-DOS prompt Go to: Start Programs Accessories Command Prompt 6 Verify that the P
