This is a video about how to deploy an image to your windows 7 machine from the FOG server. The client machine must be PXE boot compliant. This allows you to create a copy of windows and back it up. Then it may be restored to the one or many machines. FOG Project (http://fogproject.org) is [...]

This is a video about how to register computer (hardware) with the FOG server. It remembers the MAC address and associates an image with the computer. It also allows for the server to store tag numbers, hardware information, and associated users. FOG Project (http://fogproject.org) is a free imaging solution. To make a disk image for [...]

FOG Project is a free imaging solution. To make a disk image for a computer is to copy it’s hard drive while it is in a working state. Then if the computer should fail, you can always restore the operating system to a previously working version. If the hardware fails, this does not help! This [...]

This is a video on the DHCP console for Windows Server 2008. There are many settings to be configured in the console that are complex and hard to understand. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is the service that leases IP addresses to clients. You can choose what cards to bind the DHCP [...]

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is burned into every network card made. With Windows Server 2008, it is possible to allow or deny a computer or client from getting an IP Address based on a list of MAC Addresses. This is controlled by the DHCP server and is a new feature in Windows Server [...]

When a computer receives an IP Address from the DHCP server, it often receives extra information such as listings for DNS server, Default gateway, BootP server, etc. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a way of assigning IP Addresses to clients on a network, but networking is often useless without this extra information.

DHCP reservations are used similar to static IP Addresses. The DHCP server is programmed that when a certain MAC address shows up, that MAC address is always assigned the same IP Address. The client is configured for DHCP configuration. This video is made using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7. DHCP is a networking [...]

DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) is a service that gives IP Addresses to clients. To have that service you need a DHCP server. Here I build a DHCP scope. A scope is the term used for the range of addresses given to the DHCP server. Windows Server 2008 uses server manager to manage these roles.

This video shows how to set up a Linksys wireless router. I’m using a model wrt110, but all Linksys routers are amazingly similar. Even if you don’t have a Linksys router, you may learn enough to configure your own wireless router. I show the many options that Linksys routers can do such as NAT, DHCP, [...]
