2.3 Modem, Internet and Network
Additional hardware required
To connect your Targa computer to the Internet via a modem, additional hard-
ware is required. These components are not included in the package contents
and must be purchased separately in a computer shop.
Configuring the Network
The easiest way to configure a network connection in Windows is by using the
corresponding Wizard. It will detect the installed hardware automatically and set up
your network with a few steps. The configuration is necessary for any type of net-
work. After you have configured it once, it will be valid for any future network up-
grades. For instance, if you setup a direct connection between two computers, you
will be able to easily switch to a large network with a router in the future. And if you
then want to add the Wireless LAN functionality, there is no problem at all.
Interconnecting Two Computers Directly
When setting up a large network with many computers, a large amount of hard-
ware is normally required. But if you simply intend to interconnect two comput-
ers, you only need a so-called crossover cable. Simply connect this cable into
the network port on both computers. Due to its special signal transmission, the
cable interconnects the two computers without the need of a hub or a router.
However, this is only possible with this special type of cable.
The configuration will be the same for both cases. It doesn't matter whether you
are setting up a "real" network or using a crossover cable. This cable makes
both computers "see" a real network.
Your computer already features a network adapter. In order to set up a network, all
other computers will also need a network adapter. You may also need to connect all
computers to a hub or router. The hub or router is a type of distribution box that
makes it possible for the computers to find and communicate with each other.
