weeks 4 and 5

For the 18th of Feb, at the site we mainly focused on the hardware phase, as it is appearing to be the most labor intensive. A tech who was on the original layout team came out to help us find out why the internet was down. It turns out that the Sun microserver that we thought was not useful is in fact acting as a gateway for the entire network. once we (he) got that up and running again, the internet amazingly appeared. We also talked about what to do with the Sun when we get the new server up and running, and it looks like we will be using it as a backup in case the Winbox dies or needs extended maintenance.

For the 25th of Feb I was unable to attend (military duties again), but I understand that we turned the back lab (#2) into a tutoring room. There was also some various moving of furniture and it looks like the list of software needed is coming along. We should be able to install and configure the Winbox and set up the users
