HAT DO YOU NEED FOR NETWORKING
?
Some requirements have to be fulfilled to successfully network com-
puters:
1.
The Notebook must have a network card that supports the
same network technology as the other computers on the net-
work. Unless otherwise quoted, your Notebook will support the
current
Fast Ethernet
(10/100 Mbit) standard.
2.
The network cards must be connected. You need a Shielded
Twisted Pair-cable (CAT5) that has an
RJ-45
-connector.
-
If you want to directly connect two PCs you need a
Cross-Link
ca-
ble.
-
If more PCs must be connected you need a supplementary dis-
tributor (
Hub
or
Switch
) and a Patch cable.
3.
All connected PCs need a network
operating
system
. Win-
dows
®
can act as a network operating system.
4.
All networked PCs must speak the same “language” to under-
stand one another. They use protocols for this purpose. The
setting of protocols, therefore, must be the same for all networked
PCs.
