Lesson Three: Network Configuration

This week's lesson in Advanced Windows Workstation concentrated on network configuration on Windows 7 and 8 machines.  This included good material on IP4 and IP6 implementations, as well as wireless networking configuration and using the built-in Internet Connection Sharing.  The lesson concluded with a look at the Windows Firewall, and how to configure it properly.


An interesting thing that was highlighted is the use of Window Power Shell commands to configure the firewall. This replaces the familiar netsh command, which is deprecated and may no longer be available in future Windows editions.  The Windows firewall can be now controlled and configured from the Power Shell applet in Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.

Another bunch of interesting information -- looking forward to more to come!
