5. Complete the setting of the mercury wireless router in the LAN

It is very useful to know some specific methods for setting the mercury wireless router. Here we mainly analyze the setting of the mercury wireless router in the LAN. We need two or more computers) make necessary network settings before creating a local area network.

1. What network protocols are required?

Generally, LAN communication requires "MICROSOFT Network Customer or MICROSOFT friendly login), TCP/IP protocol, MICROSOFT network file and printer sharing. To install these three types, open "my computer"> "Control Panel"> "network ". Then, select the "add" button. Double-click the "customer" button, select "MICROSOFT Network Customer" in "MICROSOFT", and click "OK". Next, you can add a protocol, select the "add" button, double-click the "protocol", select "MICROSOFT", select "TCP/IP", and then exit. Next, select "file sharing for MICROSOFT Network" in the "service" column ". After selecting the "OK" button, the system will prompt you to point out the path of the WINDOWS installation disk. After copying the file, restart the computer to complete the installation of these files. At this time, you can see that there will be an additional "Network Neighbor" icon on your desktop.

2. Identify the computer on the network.

How can we identify every computer in the same lan? You need to mark this computer. You can right-click "Network neighbors" on the desktop you just created, and select "properties". In the displayed "network" dialog box, select the "ID" option.

"Workgroup" input box-used to identify the workgroup where your computer is located. For example, if you have several computers to form a LAN and want these computers to share data with each other, they should be in the same working group, therefore, the "Working Group" name in the same local area network should be the same name, for example, the WINDOWS Default "WORKGROUP" is recommended ). For another example, if you want to join another LAN, such as using the Internet in an organization or Internet cafe, You need to first know the name of the "Working Group, change the name of the "Working Group" of your computer to the same name.

The "computer name" input box-"computer name" input box is used to enter the name you have given this computer to distinguish it from other computers on the network. It must be noted that the computer name must be unique and there cannot be a computer with the same name in the network. Therefore, we recommend that you take your "computer name" as a name that is easy to remember and not easy to repeat. In this example, we name this computer "001. The "computer description" input box does not need to be filled. Of course, you can also enter your instructions on this computer ). Finally, click "OK" and restart the computer. Then you can turn on "Network Neighbor" and you will see the name of the local computer and other computers connected to the network.

3. How to Set Up "sharing" for the mercury wireless router ".

After connecting to the network, if you want to share data or optical drives, printers, scanners, and so on, then you need to configure the appropriate mercury wireless router. The method is simple. For example, to share hard drives, optical drives, and hard drives, you can open "my computer", select the drive letter or folder you want to share, and right-click the folder, select "share" in "attribute", select "read-only" or "full", and set "OK. Double-click another computer name in the "Network Neighbor" window and you will be able to see the shared drive letters or data on other computers you just set.

1. Required accessories.

We recommend that you use a parallel port or serial port for connecting to the Internet. The speed is a little faster). In addition, if you cannot buy a local connection line, you can use two used serial ports) the mouse makes a connection line by itself. The specific method is very simple. You just need to split the mouse and take out the serial mouse line. It can be seen that it is composed of four lines, they are 2, 3, 5, and 7 lines, and only 2, 3, and 5 lines are needed to create a serial connection, connect the line to the "2-3, 3-2, 5-5" connection method.

2. Install "Direct cable connection ".

Connect the USB port or serial port to your laptop and another computer. Then install the Connection Program, that is, the "Direct cable connection" program in WINDOWS. The installation method is to enable the computer to enter WINDOWS 98 for example) and open "my computer ", select "Control Panel ", select "Add/delete programs"> "Windows Installer"> "communication"> "details"> "Direct cable connection"> "OK ", and then point out the installation file of the Windows 98 installation disk ). After copying the file, the system will prompt you to install the "Microsoft dial-up network adapter". click confirm to install it.

3. Configure the mercury wireless router.

Then, open the "Start"> "program"> "attachment"> "Direct cable connection" option that has been installed in "communication. Select the "host" option for the host computer, click "Next", select the communication port used for your computer connection, and click "OK ". If the computer is a host, you need to further set "use password protection" After selecting the communication port, but it is generally not recommended. Click "OK" to complete host settings. After the host is set, you can set the "client". The setting method of the mercury wireless router is the same as that of the host, but you can select the "client" as the primary selection.

4. Share.

You can use all of the above. The method is to open "start"> "program"> "accessories"> "communication"> "Direct cable connection" with the mouse on the host and client computers respectively ", select "listener" for the host and "connection" for the client host. After detecting your username, that is, your password, you must enter the "host name" of the other party, that is, the "computer name" we introduced above for the computer "), after that, you can use the various materials set as "shared" on the host in the client.

5. practical applications.

For many laptops that do not have an optical drive or whose drive reading capacity is seriously reduced, if the system is damaged, how to install the operating system under DOS becomes a major headache. In fact, you can use the Intersvr and Interlnk commands in DOS to easily connect to other computers through serial/serial port connection, so as to achieve resource sharing on the hard disk for WINDOWS installation. First connect the two computers with the parallel port and copy the PWIN97 or PWI98 hard disk on the hard drive of the host, then, use a USB interface on the boot floppy disk to enable the langke Dual Boot USB flash drive. The built-in drive chip can be used to simulate the boot.) start the computer and copy the two files from the floppy disk to the C drive, run the EDIT command to open CONFIG in notepad in WINDOWS. SYS) edit config. in the SYS File, add the command line "DEVICE = C: INTERLNK. EXE "or DEVICE = C: INTERLNK.exe/DRIVES: 10/LPT: 1 ). Then, enter the INTERSVR command at the DOS system prompt on the computer that is used as the server, copy the file to the C root directory, and then enter the INTERLNK command at the system prompt on the machine that is used as the client, the screen will show the image relationship between the drive letter of the local client and the actual drive of another server), so that the actual drive of the server can be operated with the blank drive letter of the client, you can freely copy or use it as a local drive to use and install the operating system.

Infrared online

Many laptops have infrared interfaces, which are suitable for use when laptops and laptops are connected Without network adapters or network cables. Generally, the infrared devices and ports in the notebook are opened by default. If your notebook supports a speed of 4 Mbps, you can press F2 or another key to enter the BIOS of the notebook, in the BIOS "UARTModeSelect Infrared Transmission Mode", select "ASKIR" to make your infrared reach a speed of 4 Mbps during transmission .), When you install an operating system for your laptop, you usually install the driver and the fast infrared protocol. In this case, you only need to open the "infrared" icon in the "control panel" and select all the options in the "options. In actual connection, the infrared interfaces of the two laptops are aligned. When the system prompts that the two laptops have been connected, a sound prompt is displayed. In addition, in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of Windows, you can also see the icon that the connection has been established.) At this time, the system automatically runs the wireless connection program, you can select the file you want to swap for file transfer. It should be noted that, although the infrared line is convenient, it also has disadvantages such as low connection quality, near distance, and slow transmission speed. It is suitable for the exchange of some small files.

USB connector

USB interfaces are currently the mainstream interfaces of computers, and almost all laptops have these interfaces. Therefore, using them for online connection is certainly very convenient. To connect two computers through a USB interface, first you need to buy a "USB connector" or a USB pair cable or a USB virtual network card cable in the computer store, there is a bulging package in the middle of the cable, which is obviously characteristic). The price is generally about 50-yuan based on the brand and quality.

Connect the cables to the USB ports of the two computers. Then, the system will prompt you to find the new hardware, but it cannot be properly recognized. Plug in the installation disc of the USB connector to the corresponding installation directory and file, the mouse is named pc-pc-linq.exe execute file, open and click "Next", after completion, a icon named "PC-LINQ" will be generated on the desktop, and then restart the computer. When you enter WINDOWS again, the system will automatically find the "USB connector" virtual NIC Driver and install it on your own. The other computer also installs the software and driver in the same way. After everything is okay, You can execute the "PC-LINQ" file on both computers, and in the window that opens, you can drag or COPY any file on another computer. The advantage of USB connector is that the speed is much faster than that of serial port connection, and the stability is better than that of infrared connection. However, its weakness is that it cannot be used for Internet sharing.

Network Interfaces

Network Adapter should be the best way to connect laptops, because it can not only achieve resource sharing through network connection, but also share the internet.

1. How to Create accessories and network cables.

Most laptops have built-in NICs, but it doesn't matter if your laptop does not have a built-in Nic. You can choose a PCMCIA Nic. Tip: the PCMCIA Nic is a type of NIC used for laptops. The PCMCIA bus is divided into two categories: one is a 16-bit PCMCIA and the other is a 32-bit cartana. Cartana is a high-performance PC Card Bus Interface Standard for laptops. It not only provides a faster transmission rate, but also can exchange data directly with the computer memory independently of the master CPU, this reduces the CPU burden, so you can choose the preferred one. Then, it is recommended) You can create a "network card connected to the network card for dual-host couplet)" and a "network card connected to the Hub", the length is generally 3-5 meters. During production, it should be preferred a soft and easy-to-fold high quality twisted pair wire.

2. Configure the mercury wireless router for Internet sharing

After the accessories are ready, first install the NIC driver, and then install the relevant network protocol according to the method described in "1. Local Network Basic settings, you can easily share resources between your laptop and other computers by inserting a network cable in the RJ45 network interface of your laptop. However, one of the biggest advantages of network interfaces over the previous several online methods is that they share the Internet. Next we will focus on how to configure PWIN98 for Internet sharing ).
