| 1113647 | 2010-06-26 22:08:00 | I agree with pantera, would be best if they play around on a closed offline network | nedkelly (9059) | ||

| 1113649 | 2010-06-27 02:16:00 | +1 If/when you want to teach them how to set up a network, Cisco's Packet Tracer is quite a god emulator. +1 And Packet Tracer can display the packets as it passes through each device, ie you see it strip off the mac address and add the mac address of the next hop etc. Very good for visually teaching NAT etc. |

| 1113650 | 2010-06-27 07:27:00 | I have been asked by our Principal to introduce networking to our students.I strongly recommend that you decline this request. Noting the questions you've been asking here (e.g. "How do I ping the ipv6 loopback address?", "What is a DHCP lease time for?", "What are class A/B/C IP addresses?"), I suspect this task is a fair bit beyond your skill level - you're likely to have the students asking you a lot of questions that you won't be able to answer. |

| 1113651 | 2010-06-28 01:48:00 | You could instead teach them how to set up a home network (and basic troubleshooting), as it is more likely to be of use to them. I think anything other then physical layer set-up is going to take to much of your time. | pantera989 (14533) | ||
| 1113652 | 2010-06-28 04:16:00 | You could instead teach them how to set up a home network ......and LAN games! In fact they could probably show you that. |
