 INTRODUCTION

If you have more than one computer, or other hardware devices such
as printers, scanners, or cameras, you can use a network to share
files, folders, and your Internet connection. If you have multiple
computers and one or more other hardware devices such as printers,
scanners, or cameras, you can also share access to those devices
from all computers.

There are several ways to connect computers or create a network.

For a home or small office, the most common model is peer-to-peer
networking.

Michael U. Mamitag
 In a peer-to-peer network, also called a workgroup, computers
directly communicate with each other and do not require a
server to manage network resources. The computers in a
workgroup are considered peers because they are all equal and
share resources among each other. Each user decides which data
on his or her computer will be shared with the network. By
sharing common resources, users can print from a single printer,
access information in shared folders, and work on a single file
without transferring it to a floppy disk.

Michael U. Mamitag
 A home or small office network is like a telephone
system. On a network, each computer has a
network adapter that acts like a phone handset:
just as you use a handset for talking and listening,
the computer uses the network device to send and
receive information to and from other computers
on the network.

Michael U. Mamitag
 With home or small office networking, you can:

Use one computer to secure your entire network and protect your
Internet connection.
Work on files stored on any computer on the network.
Share printers with all of the computers on the network.
Play multiplayer games.
Access remotes files on the network.

 FILE SHARING

It is a method of sharing files across

the network typically, LAN network.

Michael U. Mamitag
 How to share files (Windows OS)

Create a
folder in a
server for
file
container.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Right click in new created
folder > Click Properties
> then click Sharing Tab
> Share. Or you can also
use step no 3.

Note: using this

step doesn’t
necessarily
mean that you
need to perform
step no 3.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Or right click the
folder>click share with >
click specific people.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Click the drop-down arrow
then choose Everyone >
Choose Read/Write > click
share.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Permission Level

Read - the users can view and copy the file, but they can’t
edit and remove the content.

Read/write – it pertains to full user’s control. Network users

can delete, edit, and update the contents of the directory.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Put some files inside of it
then proceed to next
step.

Michael U. Mamitag
 GO to another computer in
your network. Open window
run command > then
type \\ plus the name of
the computer (E.g.
\\windows7) or you can also
use the ip address of the
computer. (E.g. \\
192.168.0.10)

Michael U. Mamitag
 Then you will see all the
lists of the shared file
from other computers.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Try to open some shared files then create folder
inside of it or drag some documents then see the
updated results from both computers.

a group of computers or other hardware

connected to a network that are all associated.
For example, a workgroup may be dedicated to
CSS faculty department.

 HOSTNAME
It pertains to a computer
name or sitename, a
hostname is the name of
the computer you're
currently logged into or
visiting.

Michael U. Mamitag
 Click Computer Name > click
Change > Choose Workgroup >
type your desired workgroup
name. E.g. TESDA > click OK >

Michael U. Mamitag
 After clicking OK A welcome dialogue box
will appear then click OK then click OK
again > click close >

Michael U. Mamitag
 Click Restart Now

Note: Do the same methods in

every computer that connected to
a network. Make it sure that
workgroup name is the same in
every connected computer.

Michael U. Mamitag
 After doing the same tasks in every connected
computer. Open Network in your explorer.

Michael U. Mamitag
 How to open Network?

Click start button

> right click computers

>

then click network

 Notes:
 Every computer must exist
in the same network in
order to determine the
success of configurations.
 Appearance of computers in
the network indicate that
configuration is successful.
