Update for Agenda 3

During the AGS 3340 class on Wednesday, September 22, we omitted the following sections of Agenda 3:

• Section VI: Uploading your personal web page and any pictures to the web server
• Handout on Word Processing (Item V on Agenda 3)
• On Internet handout, section I.G. on TCP/IP protocol, and under II, sections A, B, C and, under II.D, sections 3 and 4.

We also did something not on the agenda, as follows:

• Go to the Start button and click on Run...
• In the text line, type in cmd and tap the <Enter> key. You will get a black window with a C:> prompt.
• Type tracert 141.217.142.149 and tape the <Enter> key. (That's a space after "tracert".)
• You will se the list of hops from your computer to the CLL web server (141.217.142.149).
• Try another address or domain name, such as www.ibm.com to see that list of hops.
• The speed of you Internet connection is determined by the slowest link - often, which one is busiest at that time.
