What’s In
Now that you have completed your lesson in internet protocols, you
are ready to proceed on the next lesson on peer to peer network, This will
help you understand the types of network.

What’s New

Computer networks are the basis of communication in Information

Technology.
They are used in a huge variety of ways and include many different types of
network.

What is It
Peer-to-Peer-Network
In a peer-to-peer network, devices are connected directly to each other
without any additional networking devices between them. In this type of
network, each device has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities.
Individual users are responsible for their own resources and can decide
which data and devices to share. Because of that, the network has no central
point of control or administration

Setting up a peer-to-peer network in Windows XP

The steps described below are provided as a general guide that
will work for most home networking situations. However, it may not
work for all scenarios.

Do the following steps to set up your own inclusive home network:

1. Make sure both systems have Network Interface Cards (NICs)

installed and are using the proper cables.

NOTE: For a direct network cable connection between two PCs (not
with a hub, switch or router), you need to have a cross-over cable.
2. For PCs with Windows XP, the home networking wizard can be
used to set up Windows for your network.

a. Click Start, and then Control Panel.

b. Select Network and internet connections.
c. Double-click Network setup wizard and follow the
on-screen instructions.

NOTE: If the Network setup wizard is unsuccessful, continue with

the steps below.

3. Click Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, and

then Network Connections. At Network Connection Windows, you will see the
Local Area Connection Icon, Right click it and select Properties. Local Area
Connection window appears.
4. Click on the General tab.
5.A device name should appear under "connect using." If not, there is a
hardware issue and Windows is not recognizing the network hardware.
This issue must be fixed before continuing.
a) At the General Tab, Put a check mark at the following:
- Client for Microsoft Network
-File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Network
- Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
b. Put a check mark saying Show icon in notification area when
connected.
c. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties
button

NOTE: If any of the above component is not installed, install them by selecting
Add or Install, and then selecting the missing component, and clicking Add.
 d. At the IP Address tab, select Specify IP Address.
e. Enter 192.168.0.1 as the unique IP Address for the first machine.
For each other PC add one to the last number in the IP
address. For example,
o KIDSPC1 = 192.168.0.1 ,
o MOMSPC2 = 192.168.0.2 ,
o and WORKPC3 = 192.168.0.3

NOTE: 192.168.0.x is an IP Address reserved for private networks and is

not routable to the Internet.

6. In the Subnet mask field enter: 255.255.255.0 All PCs on the same
network use the same subnet mask. Click the Ok button to finish
configuration and to close the Local Area Connection Properties
windows.

NOTE: The Domain Name System (DNS) is optional. If you have a DNS
system and your connected to ISP you can input an IP address which came from the DNS
server

6.Click the Computer Name tab and click the Change button.
7. Enter a name that describes the PC in the Computer
Description field. For example, KIDSPC1, MOMSPC2, or
WORKPC3.
8. Enter the workgroup name for your network. Use the same
workgroup name for all PCs on the network. Spelling is
important in this step.
9. Repeat these steps for each PC on the network.
10.Wait two minutes after Windows opens on all PCs, and then
double-click the Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop. If
all went well, you should see all the PC names on the network
when files and folders are being shared. If you do not see them,
press F5 to refresh the screen.
11.If after refreshing the network window, the other PCs still do
not appear, check the firewall settings that may be interfering
with the communication.
Setting up a Peer-to-Peer network in Windows 7
If you are going to work with Windows 7 operating system, the
following procedures are used to set up a peer-to-peer network:
1. On Desktop ==> Select My Computer ==> Right Click ==> Select
properties.
2. Select Change Setting (administrative permission will be
required in this procedure).
3. Click or select Change
4. Change computer name and workgroup name. Then, click OK.
5. Save the change (A Reboot will be required)
6. After Reboot ==>Right Click on My Network Place ==> Properties
7. Turn on Network discovery, File sharing, Printer Sharing
8. Click on Mange network connections
9. Select Local Area Connection ==> Properties
10.Select Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) ==>properties
 11.Now enter the assigned IP address and then click OK.
12.Now open My network place ==> Click to change then select Turn
on network discovery and file sharing.
13.If you could see all computers in My Network place, you have
successfully configured a workgroup.

Client-Server Network

In a client/server network, the server provides the requested information

or service to the client. Servers on a client/server network commonly perform
some of the processing work for client machines, such as sorting through a
database before delivering specific the records requested by the client.

26

Figure 5. Client-Server Network

In a client/server model, the servers are maintained by network
administrators. Data backups and security measures are implemented by the
network administrator. The network administrator also controls user access
to the network resources

What I Have Learned

1. In a peer-to-peer network, devices are connected directly to each other

without any additional networking devices between them. It allows
certain files and folders to be shared with everyone or with selected
users. Peer-to-peer networks are quite common in small offices that do
not use a dedicated file server.
2. In a client/server network, the server provides the requested
information or service to the client. Servers on a client/server network
commonly perform some of the processing work for client machines,
such as sorting through a database before delivering only the records
requested by the client.

What I Can Do
Peer-to-Peer Study
Direction: Using different references available such as articles, books, internet and publications, investigate
and search for the advantages and disadvantages of peer-to-peer network.
