Traveling Through a Network



Ping: (Packet Internet Groper) this sends a small packet to a domain to see how long it will take to receive.  this will help you trouble shout any issues with the internet if the site you are going to is not responding.  the times on my example show the MS (milliseconds) for Google.com and Amazon.com.


 

Using the Ping command was simple following the instructions provided. 

Traceroute: (tracert) show the path it travels to get to the domain.  This will identify where the packet may get lost or if there is a disconnect on the internet.  Some of the areas of failure may be firewalls, security, or if you are using a government computer.  The following examples I will provide show that after number 6 10.1.241.4 everything timed out after.  I can only assume right now that it is a firewall on the government side of the computer, since I am using one fore school.  



Both command processes are very useful to help trouble shoot problems that you may encounter using the internet.  I know lots of IT specialist are professionals at using these commands to help identify problems.  I would look at this is like it is a foreign language if I have not read on these prior to this assignment.  I would have to see if I can use a computer at my residence to see if my end results would be different the one, I get from using this computer.  I want to say the time of day you use this command may affect with the results.  I recall that internet traffic later in the day is worse since more people are working and use the internet which may bog down signals.  Some domain sites may have specific security protocols to prevent hackers form gaining access to their servers.

One Day of My Life

       We had assignments due on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.  All these programs are very familiar to me since we use them all in the military.  I want to say that most business will have to be familiar using these programs. Using Microsoft Word             Microsoft word is a word processor program is a program I use daily.  “A word processor is a common computer application for creating formatted text” (Vahid & Lysecky, 2019, 5.1). The ability to type and use spell check to make sure you send good emails, reports, papers, and even using it to organize your schedule.  The program is very self-explanatory and user friendly.  There are items on this program where you can attach items like graphs, pictures, and even change the layout you use.  In the military there are lots of memos that we type daily.  You can use bold text to highlight area, you are able to highlight sectio...

Program Language

  Week 1 Tec 101     My first thing I want to add to this paper is my project assignment link to our scratch assignment ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1062528363 ) .  This is the first time I have ever done anything on a computer .  The program looks like it is designed to help you understand coding and writing programs .  Even though the appearance of this site seems to be like a child created it, it sure did work my brain more than I have ever imagined .  I understand the assignment but some of the problems I encountered were foreign to me.   The difficulties that I encountered had to do with me not understanding anything about programming .  While navigating on Scratch, I had to attempt to understand what I am supposed to do .  I was selecting the different codes or blocks, and nothing was happening .  In my mind I knew what I wanted to see for the project .  I had difficulties pla cing the program or trying to comp...
