I. Overview
In normal applications, each computer on the network is often required to send, receive, and process data files equally, so that resources of various machines can be shared. In my practical work, I used Win95 to build a peer-to-peer network, and obtained a better solution.Ii. Build peer network with Win95
Win95 has a complete built-in network component to implement a peer-to-peer network for resource sharing, making installation easier. 1. Nic installation and setting Win95 supports the vast majority of network cards on the market. You 'd better choose a network card product that supports plug-and-play. In this way, when Win95 restarts, it will automatically detect the NIC and install the corresponding software driver for it; the I/O address, IRQ, and DMA of the NIC can be automatically allocated, and ensure that there is no conflict between devices. 2. Installation of Microsoft Network Client Install the client driver to allow the microcomputer to share network resources. For the Win95 peer-to-peer network mode, you must configure the microcomputer as a client in the Microsoft Network. For specific operations, select "configuration" in "network" of "Control Panel" and add "Microsoft Network Customer ". 3. Installation of network protocols For the peer-to-peer network mode in Win95, select netbeui or IPX/SPX compatible protocol. For specific operations, select "configuration" in "network" of "Control Panel" and add "netbeui" or "IPX/SPX ". 4. Add Protocol To share and install peer-to-peer resources, you need to add files and printed shared service programs. During the specific operation, select "configuration" in "network" of "Control Panel", and then add "file and printer sharing ". After installing the above network components, make sure that each machine has a unique "computer name" in this working group ". Now, the network installation is complete. Iii. Resource Sharing in peer-to-peer networks
After the peer network is set up successfully, you can configure disk and file sharing settings. After you complete the sharing settings for a folder, a hand icon will appear under the folder, indicating that the folder has been set to share. You can also set the access type for local resources by online users. In a peer-to-peer network, shared-level access control is optional for small networks that can automatically track users, that is, the password for allocating shared resources. IN Win95, you do not need to know the resource name when accessing a shared resource, because the organization and management of online resources by Win95 have made these resources well displayed. Iv. Application Results
In actual use, the main defect of the peer-to-peer network is that when the resources of another machine are used on one machine, the other machine must be in the starting state. The solution is to invest in a central file server that can manage resources from a single outlet if the network shares a large amount of data traffic, you do not need to keep all machines on. In addition, although a peer-to-peer network also has a set of security measures and measures to restrict data access, it cannot provide the same stable security as the C/S network. In short, as Win95 has integrated basic peer-to-peer processing capabilities into an independent operating system, it can build networks at a low cost. Coupled with the simplicity of this network and many other advantages, we believe that the application of this network will become extremely common in practical work. |
