  16. Networks • The lab machines are all connected together through a Local Area Network (LAN) • This allows computers to communicate to each other, and to a common location • You will mainly deal with the G drive and your account space on Dante

  17. G: Drive • The G drive: is really space on a separate computer called a server • It enables you to read and write files from any computer in the lab • You can also access the G: drive from home, via ftp, but cannot save documents back to the G: drive (Read Only) • ftp://ischoolftp:let!me!in@ischool.washington.edu/

  18. UW Student File Space • Dante is similar to the g: drive, but offers more than read-only access • Dante is both your UW storage space AND your e-mail server. • You will learn more about your file space on Dante in sessions 3 and 4

  19. Other users with accounts and passwords Mac Classic IBM Compatible Laptop computer Remote CPU (Dante) Your account directory UW NetID:________ Password :_________ Memory Your UW Account Keyboard Input Output Monitor CPU Muse Memory Local storage space

  24. Remember: You Can’t Break a Computer! • Very difficult to break – • Deleting system files • Drop kick and defenestration work pretty well • Basic troubleshooting • “Hard reboot” solves most problems: use Start, shutdown menu • If machine frozen, can use control/alt/delete or power off without shutdown • Always power down through the shutdown menu if you can
