| MITnet is MIT�s campus computer network. Both wired and wireless it all runs on the Internet Protocol. This talk will concentrate on how the Internet Protocol works and how it provides the basic services that underly e-mail, web browsing and all of the other things we do with the Internet. Specifically we will talk about the Internet Protocol itself, routing � how data is sent across different network segments to get to its ultimate destination and auxiliary protocols such as Dynamic Host Configuration (DHCP) which is used to assign a network address to each computer.

| Information Services & Technology recently launched an enterprise wiki service for MIT. The service is available to administrative and research groups and for use in MIT classes.
| |
| Your wiki site will benefit greatly from some basic planning around issues of scope, goals, organization, and audience and from a from a basic understanding of both what a wiki is good at and its limitations.
| |
| If you're thinking about starting a wiki space for your group or class, or if you have a space but would like some ideas about how to make better use of it, you should benefit from this activity.
