How to find a laptop in a network
A laptop, like any computer, you can connect to a common local network to exchange various data with other computers in the network or to access the Internet.
Instructions

This can be done using a network portEthernet or using wireless wi-fi technology. If a physical connection is created, it remains only to install the correct software settings. Verify that you have a network connection by running the Network and Sharing Center. If the connection is established, then in the connection section there will be an active icon network.

Set the correct connection settings in the TCP / IP section. If in your local network IP addresses are manually registered, specify a unique address for the network connection, then the gateway and mask fornetwork. If the addresses are distributed by the router, leave the automatic definition of the settings. Click the "Save" button if you made the settings in the system.

Check in the properties of the computer that the laptop was in the same working group as the local computers network. Look at the map of the whole network in the "Network Management Center". Try to ping the IP address of the laptop from another computer network. Make sure that the program to scannetwork traffic or antivirus do not block the network connection. Disable the Windows Firewall. Restart the computer, as not all network settings can work right away.

If the ping command was successful in the map network you saw the laptop, so the connection was successful. You will only need to select a folder for network and open access to it for other computers. You can use different folders. Typically, often this folder is the category "Shared Documents" in the local drive C. Do not forget that all data that is in public folders will be fully accessible to other users of the local network.
