IPConfig
The command ipconfig is usually the next tool you will pull out of your toolbox when you're networking a system. A lot of valuable knowledge can be gleaned from this tool.
Internet Protocol is a set of rules that govern how data is sent over the Internet or another network. This routing function essentially creates the Internet we know and love.
IP has the function of taking packets from the source host and delivering them to the proper destination host based solely on the IP addresses in a packet. The datagram that is being sent has two parts: a header and a payload. The header has the information needed to get the information where it should go. The payload is the stuff you want the other host to have.
In Lab 1.2, you'll use the ipconfig command.
