Today we continued our IC3 studies on LAN servers and IP addresses. We did notes on information about LAN and different versions of IP addresses and what the use of it is for. We had to do a task on exploring networking models and this is what I came across:

1. Client Server Networking: Click Here

2. Peer To Peer Networking: Click Here

We also had another task at the end of class on the steps on how to purchase a Static IP Address:

 How to purchase a Static IP Address:

Step 1Select the device you're going to use with your static IP. Your options typically include your router, computer or modem.

Step 2Find the MAC address of the device you selected. Your router's MAC address can usually be found on a sticker on the device, and if it's not on your modem's label, your Internet Service Provider should have the MAC address for your modem.

Step 3Click "Start," type "cmd" into the search box and press "Enter" to bring up the DOS command prompt in order to find your computer's MAC address. Type "ipconfig/all" into the command prompt and press "Enter." Look for the text that says "Physical Address," then copy the numbers and letters that appear directly to the right of that text, as this is your computer's MAC address.

Step 4Contact your Internet Service Provider's customer service department and ask to purchase a static IP address through them. Give them the MAC address of the device you want to assign the static IP to. It may take a few days for them to assign you with a static IP.

Step 5Reset your computer, modem or router after the static IP address has been assigned.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,
