Finally got around to freeing myself from Google's router! Check out the video to see the basic setup of my home lab's network. Enjoy! Errata: At one point I talk about traffic traveling from host to DNS server to router to Internet, yes, I know that's now how stuff works. I must've been thinking about just the DNS query part. :) Also, I mention "network resolution" I think.
