10. Use the tracert utility to trace the route to www.microsoft.com.
11. Then try tracing to another computer in the same building. Finally, use tracert to trace the route to another computer in the same city, but in a different building. Examine the differences and similarities in the routes.
12. Physically install a NIC in a computer. Next, install the NIC drivers and test it.
13. Configure the Windows Client on the computer you just installed a new NIC in.
14. Use a wire crimper to attach an RJ-45 connector onto a piece of Category5 cable. Use a tester to test your connections. Use a punchdown tool to attach a piece of Category 5 cable to a wall jack or punchdown block.
15. Install a Windows 2000 Client on a Windows 2000 computer.
