"Network Neighbor" is a way for LAN users to access other workstations. Many users prefer to use the "Network Neighbor" function to move or copy information in shared computers when accessing shared resources. In order to better play the role of "Network neighbors" and improve the efficiency of network access, I have made some contributions to my experience in using network neighbors and shared them with you, thank you!
1. Search for network neighbors
When you double-click the "Network Neighbor" icon on the Windows system desktop, the computer connected to the Windows system will be located; if you cannot find the name of the computer you want to find in the window of the network neighbor, and the computer you want to find is indeed connected to the LAN, you can no longer query the workstation of the network neighbor through common methods. You can use the "Search for a computer" method to find the computer in the network neighbor to be accessed. The procedure is as follows: click Start, search, and search for computers on the Windows system desktop. In the subsequent dialog box, enter the name of the shared computer you want to search, click the "Search now" button, and the computer specified in the network neighbor will appear on the search results page.
2. cleverly set the network neighbor Protocol
Some people say that there is no Internet neighbor icon on his computer desktop. Why? In fact, this is caused by the failure to correctly set the network neighbor Protocol. To make the network neighbor work normally, you must set a network protocol named NetBEUI reasonably. By default, neither Windows 98 nor Windows 2000 will automatically install the NetBEUI network protocol, when we access other workstations in the LAN directly through the network neighbor icon in the future, there may be various inexplicable errors, for example, you may find that many workstations in the LAN cannot be accessed in the neighbor window on the network, and others cannot see your computer name in the neighbor on the network. In order to avoid various access failures, you must correctly set the network neighbor protocol. The specific setting method is as follows: first, find the "Network Neighbor" icon on the Windows 2000 desktop, right-click the icon and run the "properties" command from the shortcut menu. Then, right-click the local connection and right-click it, run the "properties" command from the shortcut menu that is opened later, click the "Install" button in the "properties" dialog box, select "protocol", and run the "add" command; in the protocol selection list box that appears, you can select the "NetBEUI" protocol with the mouse, and then click the "OK" button. Then a prompt dialog box may pop up, you are required to add the Windows 2000 installation disk to the optical drive and complete the protocol installation task according to the installation wizard on the screen.
3. Use IP addresses to quickly access network peers
If the network neighbor icon in your computer is invalid, you can use an IP address to quickly access the Internet neighbor's shared computer. This access method is generally applicable when you do not know the name of the shared computer in the network neighbor. For example, if the IP address of the computer shared by the network neighbor to be accessed is 192.168.0.1, you can follow the steps below to access the computer shared by the Network Neighbor: first on the Windows system desktop, run the "Start" menu, select the "run" command from the pop-up list, and then enter "192.168.0.1" in the "run" dialog box ", click OK to view the shared computer you want to access.
4. Improves access speed of network peers
Currently, the use of network neighbors for information exchange is often the first choice for many LAN users, but many people often feel that they are very slow when accessing other shared information through the network neighbor icon; in fact, you can improve the access speed of network neighbors through the following methods: first, click Run in the Start menu on the Windows system desktop, and enter the regedit command in the open run dialog box, in this way, the registry editing window can be opened. In this window, you can access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current ersion/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace branch in sequence, delete the sub-keys under the corresponding NameSpace branch, disable the registry, and restart the computer.
5. Access Network neighbors under DOS
If you are not lucky one day, the Windows system will suddenly fail to start normally, and you need to be very anxious to access the shared resources in the network neighbors through the network, what should you do? It is unrealistic to use the icon of a network neighbor to access resources. Because there are no icons in the DOS state, how should we access Shared Resources in the DOS state? In fact, the NET command in the DOS state can help you achieve this goal. You only need to enter the "net view xxx" command at the doscommand prompt (XXX indicates the name of the shared computer in the network neighbor ), press enter to view the resource files on the shared computer XXX. If you enter the "net use f: XXXYYY" command, you can map the YYY directory on the shared computer XXX to the F disk on the local computer. Then, you can directly type "F:" at the command prompt :", you can perform operations on the shared resources in the network.
6. Quickly log on to the specified domain of the network neighbor
In Lan, sometimes, for management convenience, the master Domain Controller and backup domain controller are often established first, and the user name is set up for each user in this domain, and store a large amount of information resources in the member servers of the domain. To normally access the data stored on the member server, a normal workstation must first log on to the domain at startup. To this end, you must set the workstation machine as follows: first, right-click the "Network Neighbor" icon on the Windows desktop, and then execute the "attribute" command from the shortcut menu that appears; in the displayed Properties dialog box, you can select "Microsoft Network Customer" and then click "properties". In the displayed dialog box, select "log on to Windows NT domain", enter the domain name that the computer will automatically log on to in the text box in the setting column, click "OK", and restart the computer.
If the workstation uses the Windows 2000 operating system, you can follow the steps below to ensure that the computer can automatically log on to the specified domain and have all operation permissions on the local computer: first, apply to the LAN administrator for the username and password required to log on to the master domain of the server, and log on to the local computer as a super administrator; next, execute the "program", "Management Tools", and "Computer Management" commands in sequence. In the window that will be opened, expand "users and groups" and select "groups "; right-click the "Administrators" icon and select the "add to group" command from the shortcut menu. Follow the on-screen prompts below, add the user applying to the Administrator to the Administrators group. When selecting the domain name used by the server, the computer will ask you to enter the user name and password for access to the domain, you must enter the user name and password you have applied for in advance, and then restart the computer.
7. Access Network neighbors by name
In Windows, you can use the name of the shared computer in the accessed network neighbor as a network connection command to access the specified shared computer. For example, when you want to access the shared computer XXX in the network, you can first click "start"/"run" command, and then enter "XXX" in the dialog box that appears ", click OK in the dialog box, and then you can access the content on the specified computer in the network neighbor.
8. Delete network neighbors
Sometimes, to ensure security, you need to delete the network neighbor icon from the system desktop. The most convenient way to delete a network neighbor is to delete the NetBEUI and IPX/SPX protocols directly in the network settings. The specific operation is: first open the "control panel" window, in this window, open the "network" attribute dialog box, select the NetBEUI and IPX/SPX protocols, and run the DELETE command; right-click the "Dial Network" icon, right-click the "properties" command from the pop-up menu, and select "server type" in the dialog box that appears ", disable NetBEUI and IPX/SPX, and restart the computer.
9. Delete invalid Shared Folders
When transferring files in network neighbors, we usually store the files in a folder first, and then set the folder to share, in this way, you can directly use the mobile and copy methods to achieve the purpose of file exchange and transmission. However, by default, even if the folder sharing method has been removed, we can also see the shared folder name in "Network Neighbor", but this folder is no longer valid. To delete the invalid shared folder, follow these steps:
First, open the run dialog box and enter the Registry Editing Command "regedit" to open the registry editor window. Execute the "edit" menu item on the page and select the "Search" command below, in the search settings window that appears, enter the name of the shared folder, select the "primary key" option in the window, and then execute the "Find Next" command. After a while, the Registry Editor opens the HKEY _ LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionNetworkLanMan branch. in the right area of the corresponding LanMan key value, we can find the name of the shared folder. Right-click the name of the folder, run the "delete" command from the shortcut menu, exit the registry editing window, restart the system, and when the network neighbor is opened again, we will not see the invalid shared folder name.
Of course, there is also a simpler Delete method, that is, first create an empty folder on the local computer, set the shared name of the folder to the same name as the invalid folder in "Network Neighbor". In this way, a shared folder conflict prompt appears on the screen, in this case, you can run the "yes" command in the prompt box to delete the invalid shared folder!
