Tip 1: How to connect two computers via ethernet
Virtually all modern computers and laptopshave built-in ethernet adapter. Therefore, creating a local network of two computers using ethernet does not require the purchase of expensive equipment and the use of complex settings. At the same time, reliable and high-speed communication will be ensured. In addition, using ethernet technology, you can later easily add other computers to your network.
You will need
- Two computers equipped with network cards with an ethernet port, a crossover (an ethernet cable with a cross connection).
Instructions
1
Make sure that the network cards on both computersinstalled and connected. You can check this in the Device Manager. Right-click the Computer icon. Select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. This opens the "System" window, in the left part of the window select the "Device Manager" section.
2
In the list of equipment, expand the "Networkadapters ". You will see a network card with an ethernet controller. Click on it, in the drop-down list click on the "Properties". On the "General" tab in the "Status" window it should be written "Device is working properly". Otherwise, you need to update the driver or connect an external network card.
3
Insert the crossover into the network card connectors of bothcomputers. If the adapter is built-in, then most often ethernet-connectors are located on the back of the computer, above one of the pairs of USB ports. Insert the connector neatly, do not force it. When it fully enters the socket, you will hear a light click.
4
Both computers must be part of the same workinggroup, but have different names. To check these parameters, go to "Control Panel" and open the "System" section. If necessary, click the "Change settings" button. The "System Properties" window opens. Click "Change" and write down the new names. Restart the computer.
5
Now open the "Control Panel" and go tosection "Network and Sharing Center". At the top of the window is a network map. Double-click the "Unidentified Network" icon. If you have other networks, this icon will be called "Multiple Networks". You need to enable network discovery and file sharing.
6
In the Network section, click on the system message: "Network discovery and file sharing are disabled. Now computers and devices on the network are not visible. Click to change ». Click "Change" and then "Enable network discovery and file sharing." You may need to enter an administrator password.
7
To access the disks and folders of bothcomputers, right-click the disk / folder icon and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. In the window that opens, click on the "Access" tab. Check "Share this folder" and "Allow files to be modified over the network". Similarly, configure shared access on the second computer.
Tip 2: How to connect Avertv dvi box 1080i
AVerTV DVI Box 1080i is a TV tuner fromcompany AVerMedia Technologies, which is based on DVI-interface, which allows the device to work autonomously without turning on the computer. The working capacity of the TV tuner directly depends on the correct connection. You can do this in two ways - via DVI or VGA cables.
You will need
- - AVerTV DVI Box 1080i tuner;
- - PC;
- - the monitor;
- - DVI or VGA cables.
Instructions
1
Study carefully the TV tuner device AVerTVDVI Box 1080i. It has two groups of connectors. The first is used for connecting external devices and consists of a component and composite video input, an S-video input, and an input and output for sound and headphones. The second group of connectors is designed to ensure the operability of the device and consists of an input for the power source, sound, TV antenna and DVI input, as well as a DVI output for connection to the display and output of sound for connecting an amplifier or speakers.
2
Choose how to connect the TV tuner AVerTV DVIBox 1080i to a computer or monitor. You can use VGA or DVI connection cables. It should be noted that they should not be confused at all, otherwise it will lead to loss of signal.
3
Take the DVI cable and connectDVI-out of the video card of your computer and DVI-input of the TV-tuner for connection to the computer. After that, you need to connect the DVI-output of the tuner and the DVI-input of the monitor of your PC with a similar cable. After that, you can go directly to tuning the tuner.
4
Use the VGA connection of the AVerTV DVI tunerBox 1080i, if your computer is equipped with a video card that has only a VGA output, and the monitor must be equipped with a VGA input. Otherwise, you will not be able to correctly connect and configure the tuner.
5
Also worth noting that with this connectionYou need to purchase additional VGA-DVI adapters, as they will be needed for connection via the VGA-cable of the DVI-input and the output of the tuner with the VGA-input and output of your PC. The rest of the connection is similar to the previous method.
6
Turn on the AVerTV DVI Box 1080i tuner and check its operation. Go to the "Settings" menu, specify the required parameters and configure the channels.
Tip 3: How to make a server from a modem
The capabilities of ADSL modems are often not usedcompletely. Users connect them to the computer via a USB port, and the PPPoE protocol is implemented by a program running directly on the computer. Meanwhile, many such modems are equipped with a router function. In fact, it is a full-fledged server, allowing you to connect to the network immediately four computers and get by with installing any additional software on them.
Instructions
1
Make sure that the router's function Modem really attaching. Disconnect the modem and the computer connected to it from the network.
2
Remove the USB cable that the modem used to beconnected to a computer. If it did not have a network card, install it. Similarly, upgrade (in the disconnected state) and other machines that you want to connect to the modem.
3
Purchase or make the necessary number of Ethernet cables of the required length. They must be compressed in a straightforward manner (not crossover). Connect the ports Modem these cables with network cards of computers.
4
Turn on the modem and computers. Those that are running the Windows operating system may require the installation of network card drivers. In Linux, the cards will be automatically earned. Software for the implementation of the PPPoE protocol is removed - now this work will be undertaken by a small server.
5
On all machines, turn on automatic mode.obtain a network address using the DHCP protocol. How to do this depends on the OS. On one of the computers, start any browser and go to the address 192.168.1.1.
6
Enter the admin login and the same password. You will be taken to the router settings page. Then change the password for accessing the web interface to another, complicated one. Find a subscription agreement - it will have other username and password, designed to gain access to the Internet. Find the fields in the web interface to enter them and type. Save the settings. Then find the button on the settings page to reboot the router (do not confuse it with the reset button located on the device itself - it resets the settings to the default settings).
7
Wait for about a minute. Make sure that now it is possible to access the Internet from any of the computers of the home network.
