TCP/IP is a set of protocols used to access the Internet and other networks. It is possible for the Windows software that deals with TCP/IP to become corrupt. This video uses Windows 7, but these commands work on Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Windows Server 2003 and 2008. This video resets both the TCP/IP stack [...]

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.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer files in a client/server model. The most common use for it is to transfer a made webpage into a server for a website. FTP is an old protocol that predates TCP/IP. It runs on TCP ports 20 and 21. 21 is the port that handles [...]
