How the Windows 7 operating system sets up network connections

When we have a new system installed on our computers, the most important thing is to make it possible to connect to the Internet. In Windows 7, network connectivity becomes easier and easier to operate, aggregating almost all network-related wizards and control programs in the network and Sharing center, and we can easily connect to the network through visual views and single-stop commands. Let's take a look at how to use wired and wireless networks to connect to the Internet in Windows 7.

First Take a look at the connection of the wired network, all of which are actually very simple and familiar, much the same as in the past in Windows XP, changing just some interface changes or the operation of the shortcut. Once you have entered the Control Panel, select Network and internet-network and Sharing Center, and we can see the interface with a visual view. In this interface, we can visualize the map to understand their own network situation, of course, more importantly, there are various network-related settings.

Installation of Windows 7 automatically configures network protocols and so on, and basically does not require manual intervention, so in general we simply plug the cable into the interface, and at most, one more dial-up authentication step. So how do you set up dialing in Windows 7? The

is also in the network and Sharing Center interface, change your network settings, New Connection Wizard, and then connect to the Internet in the set up connection or network interface.

If you are not accustomed to a map of Windows 7 networks and shared centers, here is a way to view the traditional way: Change adapter settings on the left.

You may notice that the connection type here can choose wireless, but it is not recommended to configure it here because Windows 7 provides us with a more convenient way to connect to the wireless.

Let's get the focus back to the desktop. When your wireless card is enabled, the left mouse button system Tray area Network connection icon, the system will automatically search the nearby wireless network signal, all the available wireless network will be displayed in the top of the small window. Each wireless network signal will display the signal, and if you move the mouse, you can also view more specific information, such as name, strength, security type, and so on. If a network is unencrypted, there will be more than one with an exclamation point security alert flag, for these unencrypted signals, we can "rub the net."

Click the wireless network you want to connect to, and then the Connect button, wait a moment, and you can start surfing the web! If you want to connect to an encrypted network, of course, just one more step to enter the password, this will not have to say more.

When the wireless network is connectedOnce again, we have the network connection icon on the taskbar tray to see multiple wireless networks that have just been selected in the currently connected to area. Click again to disconnect the connection easily.

in Windows 7, the connection to the network becomes simpler, especially with the ease of use of wireless networks, and it is easy to connect to the network in Windows 7 and enjoy the new experience that Windows 7 brings to our network.

Next, depending on your network type, it is easy to complete the remaining steps. In general, you are a community broadband or ADSL users, select "Broadband (PPPoE)", and then enter your username and password can be. What if you're still using a kitten to dial the Internet? Don't worry, first connect your modem with the phone line, then select "Dial" in the connection type, then enter the number, username, password and so on.

Here's something to add: Windows 7 defaults to setting up the local area connection to automatically obtain the IP address of the network connection, so we don't need to modify the ADSL or router, but if you do need to specify otherwise, use the following methods: "Local Area Connection" in Network and sharing Center When the local connection state is ejected and then "Properties" is selected, we will see the familiar interface, and you can set the specified IP address by double-clicking Internet Protocol version 4.
