Lab Description: Connecting to Cyber.Local Remotely

Practicing the ability to set up and connect to local workstations on campus through RemoteDesktop, an application accessed through VMware Horizon.

Part 1: A successful Ping

In the command prompt I was able to successfully ping the workstation SKIFF100-14.CYBER.LOCAL. This was done to verify that the pinged workstation was on the same network and could indeed be reached.

Part 2: Connection to a Workstation

Once connected to another computer, a banner came across my desktop saying which workstation I was connected to. In this case I was connected to a classmate's computer with the address JOYCE310-12.CYBER.LOCAL.

This is a fullscreen view of the desktop that I was connected to. It looks the same as my own desktop with the exception of the banner at the top.

In the command prompt I was able to type in the command IPconfig and get the IP address for the workstation that I was connected to, which could tell me for certain I was connected to another workstation. I could have typed in “hostname” and it would have displayed the hostname of the computer rather than the IP address. This is helpful because for humans, it's easier to understand the name of a workstation rather then an IP address
