Networking at UWG

We all use the data network and depend upon it, but how does it work?  Or, in a more urgent situation, why is it NOT working? This class will equip you with the bare essential knowledge to understand how a data network functions.  You will learn the general topology of our network here at UWG.  With this understanding, we will demonstrate what results when various components fail.  You will learn how to diagnose networking problems as an end user.  And finally, we will address any questions you have about networking here at UWG.
