Join the network
When a computer connects to a trusted network for the first time
after installing EasyNetwork, a message appears asking whether
to join the managed network. If the computer agrees to join, a
request is sent to all the other computers on the network that
have administrative access. This request must be granted before
the computer can share printers or files, or send and copy files on
the network. The first computer on the network is automatically
granted administrative permissions.
1
In the Shared Files window, click Join this network .
When an administrative computer on the network grants your
request, a message appears, asking whether to allow this
computer and other computers on the network to manage
each others' security settings.
2
To allow this computer and other computers on the network
to manage each others' security settings, click OK ; otherwise,
click Cancel .
3
Confirm that the granting computer displays the playing
cards that appear in the security confirmation dialog box, and
then click
OK .
Note: If the computer that invited you to join the managed
network does not display the same playing cards that appear in
the security confirmation dialog box, there has been a security
breach on the managed network. Joining the network can place
your computer at risk; therefore, click
Cancel in the security
confirmation dialog box.
Grant access to the network
When a computer requests to join the managed network, a
message is sent to the other computers on the network that have
administrative access. The first computer that responds becomes
the grantor. As the grantor, you are responsible for deciding
which type of access to grant the computer: guest, full, or
administrative.
