A lot of work is inseparable from computers, so many friends are also equipped with laptops. This kind of mobile computer is very convenient, so if you want to share the connection between two laptops, wired components cannot be made anytime, anywhere. Let's take a look at the procedure of building a wireless LAN in a notebook.
First, let's take a look at the basics of interconnection before building a wireless LAN in a notebook.
Knowledge: point-to-point Wireless Networks
A wireless Interconnected Network, also known as point-to-point automatic networking. Such a network implements a Peer-to-Peer or Peer-to-Multi-Peer Ad-Hoc network through software, in this network, the wireless network adapter will automatically search for other wireless devices, and then automatically perform fast connection and networking. A point-to-point Ad-Hoc network is also a simple lan. Users can share resources, file transfers, game PK, Internet sharing, and other functions.
After learning about the principles of point-to-point wireless networks, we can establish a network. In fact, it is not difficult to set up the Ad-Hoc network. We can use the wireless setting Wizard provided by Windows XP to achieve wireless interconnection.
Build a wireless LAN for a notebook. Use the wireless setup wizard to achieve wireless interconnection.
When setting up an Ad-Hoc network, use one of the laptops as the host, and make sure that the computer is connected to the Internet through a local connection or dial-up.
1. Enable the point-to-point mode of the wireless network card
When setting, we first go to the "Wireless Network Connection Properties" interface of the wireless network card.
On this page, click the "advanced" button in the lower-right corner to open the "advanced options" interface, and click "computer to computer only" in the "Network to be accessed" option ". This setting is very important. We have enabled the point-to-point interconnection function of the wireless network card by setting up the wireless LAN through this notebook.
2. Set network flag
After enabling the point-to-point feature of the wireless network, we also need to add a Service Identifier (SSID) for the wireless network so that other laptops can search for the wireless network of the computer through the wireless network card. If you do not want to encrypt the network, you can set the password mode to "disabled" in "Data Encryption ". Next, we need to specify an IP address and subnet mask for the host.
After the host is set, you only need to set the wireless network adapter to any available network or computer-only mode on the "wireless network configuration" page for other computers. You do not need to perform other operations. After setting the client, right-click the Wireless Network icon in the taskbar and select "view available wireless networks". The wireless network adapter will automatically find the configured "SSID, in this way, the wireless network card can be connected to the wireless network card of the host.
Using the above notebook to set up a wireless LAN, the wireless network has been set up successfully, so that users can share files in the wireless network.
3. Internet sharing settings
Although the wireless network card is successfully connected, other computers still cannot share the network through the wireless network card, because the host currently uses a local connection to access the Internet, after we share the dial-up connection or local connection in the host, the other computer can access the Internet through wireless networks.
After the above settings, the point-to-point interconnection network has been established successfully. Although there is no vro, we can still use features such as file transmission and Internet sharing in the LAN.
