The Earls court Network consists of a series of computers (currently 9) running Windows 2000 professional or Windows XP, connected together using 10BaseT UTP cabling, linked together using a 16 Port Switch Hub in the computer room. The Internal network has been allocated the network IP address 192.168.1.0 and each computer has been given a name, which is on a label on the front of the machine. If a computer wishes to connect to another on the internal network, it uses this name as a reference.

The Internal Network is then connected to the Internet through an ADSL 2000 router linked to Andrews and Arnold, our internet Service providers, and from Andrews & Arnold to he internet itself. The telephone line used for the Internet is 0800 4244 6602 and terminates in the counselling school office. An extension lead runs from this office to the computer room and is attached to a line splitter that then links to the router.

This splitter allows use of the digital Internet and an analogue telephone at the same time. Because of this, it may be used as a backup for a modem to allow download of mail and emergency Internet use when the ADSL Broadband link is down (Instructions are given in this document).

The Earls court has its own domain www.eccp-ywam.org.uk containing both the website and a post office, stored on the Andrews  & Arnold machine.

We are responsible for any problems on the internal network, and Andrews & Arnold are responsible for the switch outwards to the Internet.
