General network settings
This chapter explains the Windows network settings. Procedures are not described
in detail, however. Please refer to the Windows Help function or contact Microsoft for
more details.
6.1
Games and Network
Most computer games that are now released support ‘Multiplayer’. This means that
more than one player can play the game via a network. Please refer to the
instruction manual provided with the game for information concerning ‘Multiplayer’.
The instruction manual will also state which protocols are supported by the game
and how these must be installed.
6.2 Protocols
A protocol is a type of language which computers use to communicate with each
other. Each protocol has its own specific properties. A short description is given
below of the most common protocols.
IPX / SPX
:
This protocol is mainly used in Novell networks and also for
games.
TCP / IP:
This protocol is used for Windows networks and the Internet.
This protocol is also used for games.
Use the following series for fixed TCP/IP addresses:
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.1.255, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0.
Note:
Other TCP/IP settings are also used on the Internet. If you
use a different address series than those given above, your
Internet connection may not function correctly.
NetBEUI:
This protocol is easy to use and is mainly used in Microsoft
networks. This protocol is ideal for sharing files and printers.
Note:
NetBEUI does not work in combination with a Router.
6.3
Sharing files and printers
A number of settings must be made to allow other computers access to files on your
computer and/or your printer. This service should be installed. See Windows Help for
more information.
6.3.1 Sharing
files
In a network, a hard disk or directory is accessible via a share. A hard disk or
directory must first be ‘shared’ to become accessible. The sharing of files and
printers must first be enabled before shares can be made.
You must indicate this in the Windows network settings. You then make a hard disk
or directory shareable by indicating this in its properties.
