Problem #1
• Out of IP addresses
– Network Address Translation (NAT) system
– Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server.
• Delay in obtaining the router
– Complications of ordering
– Used local router as a substitute
Dynamic NAT Configuration
Configure/Test Network Link
 Serving DHCP
 Remote desktop
Serving DHCP
Problem #2
• Private address isolated
Remote Desktop
• Created a Virtual Private Network using Hamachi.
Created an ECET LAB network
Summary
 Built a Personal Computer (PC)
 DHCP Configuration

Conclusion
• Remote access to telescope station.
• Improvement of Lab
– Provide rewarding high paying jobs.
Future Plans
• MCC’s own telescope dome
• Video Conference with Kauai and Big Island
