Appendix B:
Windows Help
Almost all networking products require Microsoft
Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in
the world and comes with many features that help make
networking easier. These features can be accessed through
Windows Help and are described in this appendix.
TCP/IP
Before a computer can communicate within a network,
TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or
protocol all PCs follow to communicate over a network.
This is true for wireless networks as well. Your PCs will not
be able to utilize wireless networking without having TCP/
IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions
on enabling TCP/IP.
Shared Resources
If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your
network, Windows Help provides complete instructions
on utilizing shared resources.
Network Neighborhood/My Network Places
Other PCs on your network will appear under Network
Neighborhood or My Network Places (depending upon
the version of Windows you’re running). Windows Help
provides complete instructions on adding PCs to your
network.
