Peer-to-Peer Networking
To enable PCs to communicate with each other:
•
On the
Identification
tab of “Network Properties” (see
Figure 30), each PC needs a
unique
Computer Name
, but
the
same
Workgroup
. Only PCs in the same
Workgroup
will be visible to your PC.
(You can ignore the
Access Control
tab. In Peer-to-peer
Networks, you must use “Share Level Access Control”.)
•
Each PC
must
log-in to the network. The
Primary Net-
work Logon
(see Figure 30) must be set to
Client for
Microsoft Networks
.
•
On boot-up, when the network log-in screen appears, you
must
log-in, even if you don’t use a password.
If you press ESC, or click
Cancel
, no network resources
will be available.
To make resources on a PC available to other users:
•
On the “Network Properties” screen, (see Figure 30),
click the
File and Printer Sharing
button, and enable
sharing.
You will need to restart your computer for this to take ef-
fect.
•
In
My Computer
, select the device (drive, folder, or
printer) you wish to share. Select
File-Sharing
or
Proper-
ties-Sharing
. (This option is not available if you have not
enabled
File and Printer Sharing
.)
Enable sharing, and give the resource a name. Provide a
password if you wish.
