Hello, Computer?
How do you
connect all of the computers in your home or office? A network is a
complex set of interactions. It is a "seven-layer" architecture with the
hardware at the bottom, and network protocols and security in the
middle. Windows Vista has several tools in the Control Panel to manage
the network. This chapter looks at testing the connections.
Here’s a
Local Area Network (LAN). The Windows Network displays all of
the computers in my area. I can see four computers including my own
machine, TeacherV2.
