Set Up A Computer Network 2013

2 Reported by: Famelia Payong

1.20pm The lecturer of Science Computer, Mr. Syed Nasir

instructed us, students from tutorial groups of CP3T17

and CP3T18 to set up a network between our

computers. There will be only 4 computers connected

to the access point through wire. However, those

particular computers must install by Microsoft Windows

7 Premium to become the administrator of the

networking. In the other hands, the rest of students will

connect their computers through wireless.

1.30pm one of us, Noor Saadiah was asked to count the

amount of computers along with their operating

system. All of the computers were recorded and

classified into different examples of operating system in

which consist of Microsoft Windows 7 Starter, Microsoft

Windows 7 Premium, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Basic,

Microsoft Windows 7 Professionals and Microsoft

Windows 8. In the other hand, Kazmadi will be the one

who in charged to record the whole process of

networking.

1.33pm after decided which computers going to be the

selected four, they started to arrange the computers in

a row and connect the computers to the access point

by using wire.

1.35pm some of the students tried to help them by referring to

networking tutorial videos that uploaded by other users

in YouTube from the Internet. While most of us still paid

attention to the networking between the four

computers since those computers must be connected

first.

1.40pm we tried to form a network between all of the

computers as fast as we can but it seems didn’t working

at all. The condition in the computer lab became

increasingly hot. There were 33 computers that need to

be connected to each other and we still can’t figure it

out on how to make those 4 computers to be

connected to each other first.

1.45pm Mr. Syed Nasir told us to make sure that the wires that

connect the access point to the computers must be

arranged neatly. All of us started to discuss on how to

make proper wires arrangement. Afterward, we tried to

arrange it properly and on the same time, retry to form

network between the computers.

1.48pm as the time passed, it still didn’t show any networking

between the computers. We were totally in a very

stressful condition. Most of us had given up on it and

only a few of them stood in front of the computers to

figure out other ways.

2.00pm half an hour had passed and still we were not done yet

with the networking. After that, our lecturer began to

speak and state that to form a network; all of the

computers cannot be connected in the same time. It

must be done by connected one computer in a time so

that the networking can be done slowly and spread

widely.

2.07pm finally, one of us managed to create a network

connection between two computers. First of all, we

need to connect to Wi-Fi connection named Default.

After that, find HomeGroup settings in Control Panel.

Next, connect to a network that already created by

the administrator and type in the password for the

connection, which was sQ9XY4TO3s.

2.10pm After 3 minutes, the third computer was connected to

the network. But still we were having some troubleshoot

problems at the fourth computer. After several times we

fixed it, finally we realised that the operating system of

the computer was Microsoft Windows 7 Home Basic.

We’d been replaced the fourth computers with many

other computers until we managed to find the suitable

one.

2.21pm we finally found the suitable computer that can

replace the fourth computer. Then, we moved on to

computers that are not connected to the access point

physically, in which known as wireless connection.

2.27pm after several minutes, 7 computers were connected.

However, due to some reasons, there also had failure in

connecting some of the computers to the network. The

reasons for the failure were:

Weak radio signal of the access point due to

some barriers that prevent the signal to arrive

computers that had further distance from the

access point.

All of the computers tried to connect to the

network in the same time. Furthermore, the

network was still in unstable condition and unable

to connect to several computers at the same

time.

2.35pm As a result, from 33 computers, there was only 11

computers connected to the network, which means 22

computers were facing some troubleshoot problems. It

is because:

The operating system of10 out of 22 computers

was Microsoft Windows 8. For Windows 8 to be

worked on the network, it must become the

administrator of the network.

The rest of the computers were having different

Microsoft Windows 7 versions.

2.41pm the class was almost over. The lecturer asked some of

the students to stand in front of the class to explain

briefly about the failure that occurred. One of the tasks

that the lecturer asked to find is the reason for Microsoft

Windows 7 Starter cannot become an administrator.

It is because Microsoft Windows 7 Starter belongs to

Domain Network. Domain is different from workgroup.

Computers on home networks are usually part of a



workgroup, while computers on workplace networks

are usually part of a domain. In a domain:

One or more computers are servers. Network

administrators use servers to control the security

and permissions for all computers on the domain.

This makes it easy to make changes because the

changes are automatically made to all

computers.

If a person has a user account on the domain, he

can log on to any computer on the domain

without needing an account on that computer.

Therefore, it is dangerous for Microsoft Windows 7

Starter to become administrator because the

computer can be controlled by another computer.

In other words, people can access your computer

without your permission as long as they have a user

account on the domain.

that unable to join the network



2.45pm one computer had failed to join the network. Now, the

number of computers that connected to the network

had been decreasing to 10 computers only.

2.50pm to prove that the networking between the 10

computers was working; we tried to share files to the

other computers. Even though we had tried for several

times but still we were unable to share it and seem that

we had failed to complete the task given.

By and large, to set up a computer network, it is

important for us to have a systematic networking

process in order to join a computer to other computers

so that we can share information, pictures, audio and

videos among the home group.

Moreover, for an access point to be able spread a

wider radio signals so that the computers can connect

to it, it must be placed on a higher position. For the

computers that connected to it through wires, the wires

must be arranged neatly.

Furthermore, after the networking is succeed, only one

computer can be connected at once so that the

network can be spread steadily and the connection

won’t having troubleshoot problems.

Last but not least, for the networking to be worked on

Microsoft Windows 8, it must become the administrator

so that other computers with operating system of

Microsoft Windows 8 can join the network. Other

computers with different example of operating system

such as Microsoft Windows 7 also can join the network.
