Networking means connecting computers for share files, printers, applications, & other computer sources.

Types of networks

Networks are classified into three types according to their configurations & how they access in formations.

Peer to peer networks
Domain server networks
Terminal server networks

1.Peer to peer Network:

This is called Workgroup networks, which there is no specific server & no hierarchy between computers. All computers are treated as same manner & they are equal.(“peer”). Each computer functions as Client as well as server. Local database directory provides security for each machine. Each user in each machine should responsible for sharing their resources. They can determines what are the resources I’m going to share with other machines.

Small group of about 10 or maximum 12 can work together by linking using this kind of network. Therefore this workgroup can share their printers with no specific server, with no centralized security is issued & with limited possibilities in servers.

Name: Pc1 Pc2 Pc3

Workgroup Name: Wnet Wnet Wnet

IP adds: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3

Step1: Setting computer name & Workgroup Name

My computer properties-->computer name tab-->click change-->set your computer name-->click ok

Step2: setting ip address

A four digit decimal number format identifies computer & host uniqly in the net work. Each ip has two main portions!

1. Network portion :Identifies the physical location of the computers in the network.

2. Host portion: Identifies the computer host in the network.

Subnet mask is the portion that tells you which part is the network & which part is the host.

Eg: 255.255.255.0 here 0 means host & other than 0 is the network.

First go to My Network places in control panelàright click & goto propertiesàlocal area connections--> properties--> Tcp/Ip-->Properties-->following ip address-->OK
