The first part of the chapter was review of the OSI model. It is a topic that is important to understand. Here's a video explaining the 7 layers.
The OSI MODEL Demystified
 

Network and Sharing Center has four main elements in the window.
 
 
·         Task list (left pane) - manage network adapter settings and configure sharing parameters.

·         Summary network map (top right) - graphical representation of computers and networks near the workstation

·         View you active networks (middle right) - name of network and location - can also connect/disconnect to network in this area

·         Change your networking settings (bottom right) - switches that allow you to control sharing and discovery of network

o   Modifying network discovery control two functions:

1.       Whether the computer can see or be seen

2.       If computer can share resources

o   If your computer fails to detect a network change, you go to the Network and Sharing Center and select a network location

The following settings are available:

·         Network discovery

·         File and printer sharing

·         Public folder sharing

·         Media streaming

·         File sharing connections

·         Password-protected sharing

·         Home group connections

Disabling a network connection does not affect configuration settings. The connection is only turned off, until you reconnect.

When Windows 7 is part of a domain, network mapping is disabled by default. Options for network discovery in domain are:

·         Turn on Mapper I/O (LLTDIO) - enables computer to map other systems on network

·         Turn on Responder (RSPNDR) driver - enables computer to be mapped by other systems on network

Some command TCP/IP tools discussed in the chapter included using:

·         Ipconfig.exe - page 175-176

·         Ping.exe - page 176-177

·         Tracert.exe - page 177-178

·         Nslookup.exe - page 179

·         Netstat.exe - page 179-180
