    Step-by-step on how to connect two PC's via cable

    This describes the proccedure to connect a PC with a laptop, which enablesa user to use Remote desktop feature and internet connection on both computers.

    Schematics:

    PC ---------------------------- LAPTOP -> wireless connection to internet
    cross-over cable


    Configuring LAPTOP:

    1. Go to Control Panel -> Network connections
    2. Right-click on Wireless network connection and select Properties
    3. Select Advanced tab and put a thick in the box "Allow other network users to connect to this computer's Internet connection"
    (You can also put a thick in the other box if you wish)
    4. Confirm with the OK button and find yourself back in the Network connections window
    5. Next, in Network connections Right-click on your LAN adapter, under General tab select Internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties
    6. Assign IP manually (192.168.0.1 - this is also the default if you use Network connection Wizard) and Subnet mask (255.255.255.0 - also default)
    7. Next you must assing (one or) both DNS servers (I used the one ISP provided) - the most important thing to do is to use the same DNS when you configure the other computer!!!
    8. Confirm everything and this computer is done...

    Configuring PC (if you don't want to set-up Remote desktop, where PC is the host computer, start at 4.):

    1. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Remote tab
    2. Put a thick in the "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer"
    3. Confirm with OK
    4. Go to Control Panel -> Network connections
    5. Right-click on your LAN adapter, under General tab select Internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties
    6. Assign IP manually (for example 192.168.0.2 - has to be in the same range as the IP on the other computer, but different!) and Subnet mask (the same as on the other computer - 255.255.255.0)
    7. Assign Default Gateway (which is the assigned IP of the other computer, in this case 192.168.0.1)
    8. Assign the same DNS as on the first computer
    9. Confirm everything...

    Everything should work now. Remember you have to use CROSS-OVER CABLE. If you are having problems with the connections try "playing" with the Firewall settings (under Exceptions and Advanced tab).

    How to share folder in windows XP


    In this tutorial we will learn how to share a folder or file so that other user on network can share file with your PC. This is very easy process which will allow you to a file or folder or drive of your computer on the LAN. But this should be done very carefully and I would recommend you not to share system drive (C :\) as you never know people on LAN could delete or alter your system file, which will render your system useless.
    So, all you need to do is simply follow below steps one by one. That’s it.

    Double click on My Computer and then right click on Shared Documents and select “Sharing & Security” option.

    So, all you need to do is simply follow below steps one by one. That’s it.

    Double click on My Computer and then right click on Shared Documents and select “Sharing & Security” option.


    902091_f248.jpg
    See all 6 photos







    Now click the red rectangle as mentioned in the below image. On clicking this will pop up a small window. This would appear only if you are sharing the folder on your computer for first time. If it so then skip to step 3.


    902120_f248.jpg




    Click on “Just enable file sharing” radio button & click OK button.


    902122_f248.jpg

    Check the option “Share this folder on network”, this option allows us to share the selected folder on network. Next, in the textbox specify the name of the shared folder; this name would appear on the Network. Third option “Allow network user to change my files” makes your folder read-only if it is unchecked, means user from LAN can use files of this folder in read-only mode and they cannot paste anything in this folder. And if this is option is checked then network user will have full privilege of read & write. This permission depends on you. After this click OK button.


    902133_f248.jpg




    Now you can notice that the shared document’s icon has changed and a hand like image is appeared. Congratulation! You have successfully completed the LAN connection and shared the folder. Repeat the same steps on the other PC or Laptop.


    902134_f248.jpg




    Now I m sure that you want to see the other shared PC form your PC. For that just do the following: double click on “My Network Places”. Here you should see some shared folder of your own as well as other’s PC (shared folders are only visible if you have configured properly min. two PCs). These shared folders which you can see here only display the shared resources of the same workgroup. To see the shared resources PC wise to this, click on “View Workgroup Computers” on the left pane as shown on image.


    902148_f248.jpg


    902149_f248.jpg




    In “PC wise view of shared computers” image there is red numeric marking, where 1 tries to shows the name of the workgroup, and 2 shows the UP arrow button, on clicking which; it will show the different workgroups.


    "Access is denied" error message when you try to access a folder on LAN

    To resolve this problem, you must turn off Simple File Sharing, and then take ownership of the folder:
    1. Turn off Simple File Sharing.

    • Click Start, and then click My Computer.
    • On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
    • Under Advanced Settings, click to clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box, and then click OK.
    2. Right-click the folder that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties.
    3. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message, if one appears.
    4. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
    5. In the Name list, click your user name, Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group.

    If you want to take ownership of the contents of that folder, click to select the Replace owner on sub containers and objects check box.

    6. Click OK.
    You may receive the following error message, where Folder is the name of the folder that you want to take ownership of:
    You do not have permission to read the contents of directory Folder. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control? All permissions will be replaced if you press “Yes”.
    7. Click Yes.
    8. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and the folder contents.
