TCP/IP
This series introduces TCP/IP concepts and is designed to help users prepare for the MCSE Exam 70-059. An overview of using TCP/IP with several different operating systems is provided, including a discussion of the OSI reference model, networking, and TCP/IP models. A detailed explanation of the TCP/IP Application layer and how data is processed is also provided, including discussion of data delivery and routing. The installation, configuration, and management of Microsoft TCP/IP, IIS, and other network services is explored, along with printing services and DHCP. NetBIOS name resolution methods are examined, as well as the DNS Server. Advanced topics covered in this series include managing DNS and TCP/IP, file transfer, interactive and printing utilities, Network Monitor, SNMP, Performance Monitor, RAS hardware, PPTP, and various troubleshooting strategies.
This series is for anyone preparing for the MCSE Exam 70-59 or anyone who wants an introduction to TCP/IP concepts. This online course contains 10 lessons and should take approximately 40 hours to complete.
Introduction to TCP/IP Concepts
This course provides an overview of the use of TCP/IP with several different operating systems The relationships between the OSI reference, Microsoft networking, and TCP/IP models are discussed This leads into a detailed explanation of the TCP/IP Application layer and how data is processed and teaches you how to identify relationships between the OSI reference, Microsoft networking, and TCP/IP network models, describe the impact of the Internet and TCP/IP on global communications, convert IP addresses into binary numbers and vice versa, identify processes in the Application layer of the TCP/IP network model, tCP/IP Overview, using TCP/IP and IP Addresses, introduction to Microsoft Networking, the TCP/IP Model, and the TCP/IP Application Layer.
Data Delivery and Routing
This course provides an overview of the processes involved in routing and delivering data through the TCP/IP Transport and Internet layers and teaches you how to identify and describe the elements of a header, explain the processes occurring in the Transport layer, explain the processes occurring in the Internet layer, describe the elements in an IP Datagram, describe and demonstrate the subnetting and supernetting processes, and explain the differences between static and dynamic routing.
Microsoft TCP/IP and IIS
This course provides instruction on the installation, configuration, and management of Microsoft TCP/IP, the Internet Information Server (IIS), and other network services and teaches you how to install Microsoft TCP/IP, configure Microsoft TCP/IP to support multiple network adapters, test TCP/IP configuration using ping and ipconfig, install and manage Internet Information Server (IIS), set up and configure HTTP server, FTP services, and Gopher services, and plan, set up, and configure virtual servers and directories.
Printing Services and DHCP
This course provides instruction on the installation, configuration, and management of printing services and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and teaches you how to install and use a printer with Windows NT and TCP/IP services, install the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), use, view, and modify active leases, manage leases, multiple DHCP servers, and the DHCP database, configure and manage DHCP in the registry, and install and configure the DHCP Relay Agent.
Name Resolution and WINS
This course provides a detailed description of the NetBIOS Name Resolution methods Additionally, it provides instruction on the installation, configuration, and management of Windows Internet Name Services (WINS) servers and clients and teaches you how to describe and use the NetBIOS name resolution methods, set the order of NetBIOS name resolution, install and configure WINS servers and clients, add WINS servers to WINS Manager and monitor WINS, configure and manage WINS servers, and replicate the WINS Database.
Introduction to DNS Server
This course provides an overview of the Microsoft Browser Services and the Domain Name System (DNS) It shows users how to configure the Microsoft DNS Server and use database files and teaches you how to describe the Microsoft Browser Services, browse multiple subnets, explain the Microsoft Domain Name System (DNS), demonstrate name resolution with the Browser Services and DNS, and configure the Microsoft DNS Server.
Managing DNS and TCP/IP
This course shows a user how to manage and operate the Microsoft Domain Name System (DNS) Server and multiple resources It provides instruction on which utility to use to connect to TCP/IP-based UNIX host for file transfer, interactive, and printing utilities and teaches you how to initialize the DNS Server, configure DNS Server roles, manage the DNS Server and integrate DNS with other name servers, and identify which utility to use to connect to a TCP/IP-based UNIX host.
Utilities for Monitoring TCP/IP
This course shows an administrator how and when to use the various troubleshooting utilities, Network Monitor, and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and teaches you how to diagnose and resolve name resolution problems, use Network Monitor to capture and examine network data, identify the appropriate tool or utility to monitor network traffic, and configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Performance Monitor and RAS
This course shows an administrator how to use Performance Monitor and how to configure the Remote Access Service (RAS) and teaches you how to identify the appropriate tool to monitor network traffic, identify and use the appropriate Performance Monitor counter for troubleshooting, install the Remote Access Service (RAS) hardware, and configure a RAS server and dial-up networking for use on a TCP/IP network.
PPTP and Troubleshooting
This course shows an administrator how to configure Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), identify and troubleshoot TCP/IP connectivity and service problems, as well as designing a TCP/IP intranetwork and teaches you how to configure Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), diagnose and resolve IP addressing problems, diagnose and resolve name resolution problems, identify the appropriate tool or utility to monitor network traffic, and plan and select the appropriate services to install when using Microsoft TCP/IP on a Windows NT Server computer.
