I have a couple of questions that I hope you smart neworkers can answer for me. Thank you all so much ahead of time for your help, I really do appreciate it .
Ping: I know it's a command to see if you get a response from an IP to test your browser/NIC. For example: Ping www.google.com. Wouldn't it just be easier to open up your browser and go to a site to check if your internet is working?
IPCONFIG: To repair your network connection or whatever, you do ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew to maybe fix your internet by renewing your ip address. Isn't that the same as right clicking the little network icon on the taskbar and then choosing "Diagnose and Repair" or going to My Network Places and right clicking the network connection icon and choosing "repair"?
Ghosting and building an image of a partition or software on a certain computer...are they the same. If not what are the differences between ghosting and building an image?
What is a ghost server? Is that the same as VMware?
Thank you all again so much and I hope I didn't make it too confusing.
