Mining Windows Server 2008 Network features to make the Internet more efficient

Although the Windows Server 2008 system reputation outside, but after the initial trial, many friends will find in the system environment Internet access, there is always stumbling feeling, this is the system's network function has been weakened? In fact, the Windows Server 2008 system has very powerful network capabilities, but many friends are unfamiliar with these features, and because of the hardening of security features, many default settings also hinder the full use of Windows Server 2008 network features. To this end, this article now on the Windows Server 2008 System Network features mining, I hope that the following content to make friends online more efficient!

Provides dual configuration for Internet access

If we install and use a Windows Server 2008 system in a notebook computer, we can configure the system at the same time for the home, two different environments in the network parameters, so that the future no matter what kind of work environment, no need to do any duplication will be able to quickly access the Internet.

Generally speaking, the unit local area network usually uses fixed IP address more, while the home dial-up Internet uses the dynamic IP address more, at this time, we can configure the main internet parameter of the Windows Server 2008 system to obtain the IP address way automatically, will back up the network parameter match To manually assign the IP address, so that the laptop no matter what kind of network environment, as long as there is a DHCP server in the corresponding network, it can automatically obtain a valid Internet address from the DHCP server, otherwise it will automatically use the IP address that we have already specified in advance, It is clear that this dual configuration can make Windows Server 2008 systems more efficient on the Internet. Here are the steps to provide a dual configuration for a Windows Server 2008 system:

First, open the Windows Server 2008 system's Start menu, select the Settings, Network Connections command, open the Network Connections List window for the corresponding server system, locate the destination local connection icon, and right-click the icon to execute the property from the pop-up shortcut menu. command, enter the Properties Settings window for the target local connection;

Second, select the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPV4) option in the Settings window, and click the Properties button below the corresponding options to open the property settings interface shown in Figure 1, the Automatically obtain IP address option in the interface, and the "Automatically obtain DNS server address" The options are all selected so that the main Internet parameters for the Windows Server 2008 system are successfully configured to automatically obtain the IP address mode;

Then click the Alternate Configuration tab, select the User Configuration item in the Options settings page that appears, and then set the fixed IP address, default gateway address, DNS server address, and subnet mask address in the actual network environment, for example, by hand Set the Internet parameters for the notebook computer 10.176.12.16, 10.176.12.1, 255.255.255.0, and so on, and finally click the "OK" button to save the above set up operation, so that Windows Server 2008 when the system discovers a DHCP server in the network environment, it automatically obtains a valid IP address from the DHCP server, otherwise it automatically uses the fixed IP address, the default gateway address, the subnet mask address, the DNS server address, and so on that we have allocated beforehand.
