Lesson
This module was designed to help you with your journey in the world of
Information Technology. In addition it is also here to further help you master the
nature of Computer Systems Servicing. I am sure that you have used a computer
and had delved into the internet at least once in your lifetime. Was there ever a time
when the performance of your computer suddenly lagged? It can be frustrating at
times, especially when you are doing your research among others. Hence it is
important to do what we can in order to avoid such slackening of the system.
One of the ways to make sure there is no lagging of the system, is to make
sure that the network is configured correctly. Therefore, it is necessary that you learn
how to do this. Setting-Up Computer Networks (SUCN) are divided into four Learning

What is It
Definition of Terms
IP Address - A unique 32-bit number that represents a device or
interface (e-g., network interfere card) either on your
Intranet or on the Internet. These addresses are
normally expressed in dotted-decimal format, with
four groups of numbers separated by dots. An IP
address is actually composed of binary numbers but
for convenience, it is usually expressed in decimal
format.
Subnet - Logical subdivision of a larger network.
Subnet - 32-bit number that masks an IP address, and breaks
mask/CIDR/Default the IP address into a network address and a host
subnet address. It is made setting all network bits to 1s and
setting all host bits to 0s.
Sub netting - The process of dividing a large network into smaller
network by adding “1”s to the network bits is a subnet
mask.
Host - A computer or device connected to the network.
Network Address - The address where the hosts are connected.
Default gateway - A default access point or IP router that a network
hosts or computer uses to send information to
another network or the Internet.
DHCP - Hands out IP address to host and keeps addresses
unique. It also provides a database of addressing
assigned and task the burden of assigning addresses
statically away from administrators.
Private IP addresses - Special non-routable IP addresses that are used in the
translated to public internet IP addresses when the
device needs to talk to the internet.
CIDR prefix/notation - The shorter representation of an IP address and its
(Classes Inter- associated routing prefix. It is composed of a slash (/)
Domain Routing and a decimal number. The decimal number is the
Prefix) numbered of 1s in a subnet mask. For ex.
Count the 1s: There are 8 bits per group/octe, and the
first three groups are all 1, so there are 24 1s all in
all, therefore we have a “/24” or in verbal “CIDR
twenty four” or slash twenty four.
11
Sometimes in order to gain connectivity in certain networks where a DHCP
server is not running, the configuration of a static IP address is required. The steps
required to setup up a static IP address are rather straightforward, but the process
is a bit different from Windows Vista and XP. Let’s go through the steps now and
configure a static IPv4 address in Windows 7.
There are several views which are available for the control panel; by default
the category view is used. When using the category view the option that you need to
select is called View network status and Tasks, as highlighted below. This will bring
you to the Network and Sharing Center.
12
The second way to gain access to the Network and Sharing Center is to utilize
the network icon which is displayed in the system tray when a network interface has
been enabled. When this icon is right-clicked the option to open the Network and
Sharing Center is given as shown below:
Once the Network and Sharing Center is open there is an option which allows
the change of adapter settings which is shown in the upper left hand corner of the
window.
13
wired and wireless interface is shown as examples. For the purposes of this article
the wired interface will be used as the interface being given a static IP Address.
Once the properties option is selected the interface properties windows will be
displayed. This screen gives the option to configure a number of different network
parameters. Since we want to change the interface IPv4 IP address this option must
be selected from the window. Once this option is selected the properties button will
be enabled; press the properties button.
14
Once the properties button is pressed the IPv4 properties window is displayed
which shows that the interface is currently configured to obtain both its IP address
and its DNS server information automatically.
15
For the purpose of this article the IP address 192.168.1.100 is used with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1. The DNS server
which will be configured is 4.2.2.2.
Once these options have been entered on the screen simply press Ok on both
property screens and the configuration of a static IP is complete.
HOMEGROUP Configuration in Windows 7
Once this option is selected, the HomeGroup window is displayed. The first
computer to be configured with a HomeGroup will be given the option to create a
homegroup. Once a HomeGroup is configured on a network it will actively broadcast
its existence to the other computers on the network (HomeGroup requires IPv6 to be
enabled)
Once a HomeGroup has been created on a network, all other participating
computers must join it. In order to join the HomeGroup.
When using the Home location, network discovery and HomeGroup are
enabled which allows the easy networking of Windows machines. The Work location
is similar to the Home location but disables the use of the HomeGroup functionality.
The Public location is the most secure and disables the various sharing
functionalities which are enabled then in the other locations.
16
Once the setting is selected the Set Network Location window is opened which
enables the configuration of a different network location.
If you choose one of the last two options, then you’ll need to click on Advanced
System Settings on the left menu:
17
Now you’ll finally be on the right screen, which should say System Properties.
Click on the “Change” button to rename the computer, which will pop up this dialog:
18
Now you can finally change the name of the computer. You could also change
the name of the workgroup to something more descriptive as well. You’ll have to
reboot after you make this change.
Addressing in networking
What is IP Address?
The Internet Protocol Address is a unique address that computing devices
such as personal computers and tablets use to identify itself and communicate with
other devices in the IP network. (MAC) address is assigned to the host Network
Interface Card (NIC) and is known as the physical address.
IP Address Classes
IP-based networks are classified depending on the size of the network. They may be
classified into five classes, but the most commonly used and discussed are Classes
A, B, and C.
19
Table 1. Five Classes of IP Address
• 255.0.0.0: Class A, which indicates that the first octet of the IP address is the
network portion
• 255.255.0.0: Class B, which indicates that the first two octets of the IP address
are the network portion
• 255.255.255.0: Class C, which indicates that the first three octets of the IP
address are the network portion
• Class D addresses are used for multicast groups. There is no need to
allocate octet or bits to separate network and host addresses. Class E
addresses are reserved for research use only.
20
Share files and folders over the network
Whether you plan to share files and folders with other people who share your
computer or with those who connect to your computer over the network (or both),
the process for setting up shared resources is the same as long as the Sharing Wizard
is enabled.
To make sure the Sharing Wizard is enabled, click the Start button, type
“folder” in the Search box, and then click Folder Options. Click the View tab. In the
Advanced settings box, scroll down the list and make sure the Use Sharing Wizard
(Recommended) check box is selected.
The process for setting up shared resources is the same as long as the Sharing
Wizard is enabled With the Sharing Wizard at the ready, follow these steps to share
files or folders:
1. In Windows Explorer, select the folders or files you want to share. (You can select
multiple objects.)
2. In the Command bar, click Share. (Alternatively, right-click, and then click Share.)
3. With the Sharing Wizard, it’s quick and easy to share files with other people.
4. In the file sharing box, enter the name of the user with whom you want to share
files or folders, and then click Add. You can type a name in the box or click the arrow
to display a list of available names. Repeat for each person you want to add. The list
includes all of the users who have an account on your computer, plus everyone.
• Reader Users with this permission level can view shared files and run shared
programs, but cannot change or delete files. Selecting. Reader in the Sharing
Wizard is equivalent to setting NTFS permissions to Read & Execute.
• Contributor This permission level, which is available only for shared folders
(not shared files), allows the user to view all files, add files, and change or
delete files that the user adds. Selecting. Contributor sets NTFS permissions
to Modify.
• Co-owner Users who are assigned the Co-owner permission have the same
privileges that you do as the Owner: They can view, change, add, and delete
files in a shared folder. Selecting. Co-owner sets NTFS permissions to Full
Control for this user.
21
• Double-click a share name to open the shared item.
• Open a search folder that shows all of the folders or files you’re sharing.
7. When you’re finished with these tasks, click done. Creating a share requires
privilege elevation. But, after a folder has been shared, the shared folder is available
to network users no matter who is logged on to your computer—or even when nobody
is logged on.
