Testing your network

Now that your home network is set up, log onto one of your computers and
access a favorite Internet Web site.

If you are unable to connect to the Internet:

■

Run the New Connection Wizard (for more information, see

“To use the

Internet Connection Wizard:” on page 139

)

■

Check all physical cable connections

■

Compare the status lights on the front of the router or access point with
the patterns described in the router or access point literature

■

Temporarily turn off any firewall software on your desktop computer

■

Turn off all of the devices, then power them back on, cable or DSL modem
first, router second, and computers last.

■

Refer to your router’s or access point’s troubleshooting information

■

Contact your Internet service provider

Sharing resources

With a network, you can share your Internet connection, drives, and printers.

Sharing drives and printers

With a network, you can

share

drives (for example hard drives and DVD drives)

and printers among the computers connected to the network.

After the drives and printers on each network computer are shared, you can
access them as though they were attached directly to your computer. Then you
can:

■

View a network drive

■

Open and copy files stored on other network computers

■

Print documents on network printers
