00:00.000 --> 00:11.640
learning objectives setting up a simple network connecting computers

00:11.640 --> 00:16.480
assigning IP addresses testing the connection we are going to learn about

00:16.480 --> 00:21.040
basic network configuration imagine you want to send a message to your friend

00:21.040 --> 00:25.400
how does your computer know where to send it that's where network configuration

00:25.400 --> 00:30.720
comes in a network is like a bridge that connects computers so they can talk

00:30.720 --> 00:37.080
to each other let's build a small network using two computers first we need

00:37.080 --> 00:43.280
computers PCs then we connect them with a crossover cable finally we assign

00:43.280 --> 00:48.600
each computer a unique IP address this step is essential so let's learn in

00:48.600 --> 00:53.720
detail each device in a network needs an IP address just like we have our home

00:53.720 --> 00:59.680
address so that the messages go to the right place let's assign IP addresses

00:59.680 --> 01:08.280
now PC1 PC2 now our computers can identify each other and communicate testing

01:08.280 --> 01:12.200
the connection to check if the computers are connected we use a command called

01:12.200 --> 01:18.960
ping this sends a test message between the computers open command prompt and

01:18.960 --> 01:32.120
type ping 1 9 2.16 8.1.2 if we see reply from 1 9 2.16 8.1.2 it means our

01:32.120 --> 01:38.400
network is working we've successfully learned the basics of network setup now

01:38.400 --> 01:42.960
with a simple test using the ping command we can ensure everything is connected

01:42.960 --> 01:45.960
and working perfectly
