Hi!
For the first lab I learned how to use Packet Tracer, and the ability to configure and operate a server using 2 routers, 2 PC's, 1 switch, and 1 Eagle Server. At first, the task was a bit confusing because when i gathered all of the materials displayed in the lab, they were all red besides the 2 PC's and the switch. The problem was that i didn't correctly configure the routers with the servers. I also, had to setup the network and the network gateway using the 2 PC's (One of which, were the host). The settings to configure the devices were on the sheet of paper in the lab instructions and on the device itself (Of course).
After i had input all of the numbers in the correct device (including the gateway ip, host ip, and the subnet ip) there was still a physical problem with the devices. I had the switch the ports from off to on (Otherwise the device is just a simple piece of "brick"), after all that work the server was good and running smoothly. Now was the part where I diagnose the computer. I requested a message from the computer (Non-host) to the eagle server. I checked on bottom-right part of my screen to see the status of the message and the status of my network, and it was a successful connection.
As a result, i learned the main mechanics of how to operate the eagle server to be online, and to make the PC host communicate with the server using routers, switches, and cables.

My CISCO Student Career So Far........
Introduction
So far, if i were to rank my progress as a CISCO student i would say that i would have greatly improved by a TON compared to my grade last marking period. In the last marking period, i passed the class with a 77% which is a C; I currently have an 89% on my grade which clearly presents an improvement in the class.
Why am i Improving you ask?
The reason being of why i am improving is because I'm greatly improving my scores on tests. I find the tests to be more easy as i go through the course of the CISCO training and i has become very easy for me to understand networking. I would also like to say, I believe that the pre-test is impacting my motivation and effort that i put into the Actual examinations because the pre-test gives me a more general idea on what i should be studying on, why i already know, and what i need to know to pass the official examinations. If my instructor continues to give me pre-test, my grades would definitely, for a fact, increase my knowledge in the networking course and continue to gradually increase my grades and test scores.
How to continue to do better
All i have to do to keep my grades going higher is to do my work, study, and keeping a perfect attendance in class. All it takes to accomplish this flexible goal is motivation and self-confidence to know what my capabilities are and my limits. In reality, my capabilities are endless if i know how to accomplish it and to not abandon my objectives.

Lab 4.5.2 TCP/IP Transport Layer Protocols Reflection
To conclude this lab i would summarize it with an easy yet challenging interpretation. At first, the wire shark task (Task#1 Capturing an FTP session) presented a new method of networking that gave me exploration to knew data information. Basically Wire Shark helps you capture TCP/UDP communications and present it through the header information and also interprets it to an even simplified form. It gives you the protocol information, header information, & ip traffic which gives you a source of what CISCO people call Reliability. This made me understand the 3-way-handshake from an all new perspective which allows me to apprehend the networking world more clearly. The 3-Way-=Handshake is basically one end sending an SYN, then the other end receives the message and sends an ACK, finally the message gets sent back to let the other person know that there is a confirmation of communication.
