Links and Networking

Hello can any body be kind to give me step by step tutorship on how to network two computers directly with a network cable but without a router. I heard it is possible.
Plz I 4got to add that I am a complete Computer novice and something like( use the cross cable, and give two ip’s in a same class) will make me really confused, that sounds like pro language plz simplified version thank you greatly.

A lot of network cards no longer require cross-over cables as they auto-detect the cables configuration flipping the required lines as needed

I need to wirelessly network 2 computers. I am going to use a wireless router. Do I pay extra (other than my current connection) for this to work?

No, because it’s all through one router, you might have to pay for a wirlees router but apart from that they shouldn’t have to pay anymore.

Im considering a networking degree. I have always used windows(vista and xp) and I can pick up on stuff pretty quick. However I only know the basics and the only pre-rec to the program is taking a computer basics class(cis105 i believe) people out there with the knowledge..Think ill be ok? Ill be getting the degree at paradise valley community college and then to Asu to finish the bachelors

They’ll teach you what you need to know.

If your only experience is with Windows you’re going to have a hard time since there is a LOT you’re going to have to learn. Of course any professional degree is going to be like that.

I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop. I want to be able to access my desktop documents from my laptop, and vice versa. i can already do that by going through the home network, but there are other users on then desktop, and I want to set permissions so that only my account on the desktop, and only my account on the laptop, can access and alter the files in my documents on both computers. How do I do this?

Either setup NTFS permissions on the files or set a share password.

I need help. I need to share six computers with a printer. I also have to Network the printer so everyone using a computer can access the printer. How is this done?

With 6 users, installing the printer on one machine and expecting it to handle all the work, plus be a workstation is a bit much.

You need to set up the printer on a print server.
Here are some examples

Good Luck

I would like to network my two computers together. both run windows 7.
If someone can give me step by step i would be greatfull.

Here is my info. I am running a toshiba satellite with windows 7 and a Desktop with windows 7. i am using a cross over wire.
my lap top has internet through its wirless card.,

and how do i get internet on my desktop using my crossover connection to my laptop?

connect them with the crossover, set the laptop to ICS (Internet Connection Share), then use the home network wizard to have them talk to each other.

I just had my laptop AND Ipod stolen, the only places I had my music collection of 6000+ songs stored. >:(
I’m so %#@$ing mad!!

No probably not.

Also, you might want to post this in another section, like technology?

~ Lyrics:

A network is two or more connected computers that can share resources such as data,
a printer, Internet connection, applications, or a combination of these for the greater.
A LAN is limited to a specific area, and cannot ext-end
beyond the boundaries of a single build-ing,
as opposed to a WAN
which can reach farther lands;
it can be slow, but can be connected on demand.
The meander-ing
can be public or private; centralized or distributed as the Inter-net.
All network discourse can be categorized as half or full-duplex
is the best. Half-duplexx
communications happ-ens
in both direct-ions,
but in one direction at a time like Nex-
tel-L me about Full-Duplex communications
occurs in both directions simultaneously like a telephone conversation.
A workstation
is any computer connected to the network
and used by an individual for his work operations
A client is any network entity
that can request resources from the network; a printer is one respectfully.
Servers serve the clients with services
for different purposes;
are typically powerful computers, as a huge data reserve it exists;
controlling and maintaining the network;
you better implement it,
with careful steps.
A host is any network device that has an IP add-ress.
Peer-to-peer networks present some challeng-es,
having no centralized authority,
limited security,
backup difficult-y.
Client-servers give you better performance and organizational capability.
Physical topolog-y,
is the layout of the cables and nodes;
choose one that allows room for growth.
Logical defines how the information and data flows.
The four most common are Bus, Star, Ring, and Mesh, wouldn’t ya know?, wouldn’t ya know, wouldn’t ya know?
