You don't need a router at all to create a LAN, but it makes things easier.
If you just use a network switch, you'll need to manually assign IP addresses to each computer after connecting them. Connect the switch to a LAN port on the router.
If you're using a network switch to connect more computers, connect it to one of the LAN ports on the router. You can use any open port on the switch to make the connection.
When connected, the router will provide IP addresses for every computer that is connected to either device. Method 2. Find the Ethernet port on your PC. You can usually find this on the back of your desktop tower, or along the side or back of a laptop.
Slim laptops may not have an Ethernet port, in which case you'll need to either use a USB Ethernet adapter or connect wirelessly if your router allows it. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into your computer. Plug the other end of the cable into an open LAN port. Test out your network router only. If you're using a router, your work is complete. Once all of the computers are connected to a LAN port, they will be assigned IPs automatically and will appear on the network. If you're using a switch and no router, you'll still need to assign IP addresses to each computer.
You won't be able to access resources on a networked computer until file and printer sharing is enabled. You can select specific files, folders, and drives to share on each computer , as well as share access to printers. Method 3. Right-click on your network connection. You'll see this in your System Tray.
If you are connecting your computers through a switch with no router, you'll need to assign each computer on the network its own individual IP address. This process is handled automatically if you're using a router. Think of an IP address as a mailing address. Each computer on the network needs a unique IP address so that information sent across the network reaches the correct destination.
Click Open Network and Sharing Center. Click the Ethernet link at the top of the window. You'll see this next to "Connections. Click Properties. Make sure you don't uncheck it, just highlight it. Click the Use the following IP address radio button. Type Click OK. This will save the settings for that computer. This computer is now configured on your network with a unique IP address.
Open the Internet Protocol Version 4 properties on the next computer. Notice that the final group of numbers has incremented by 1. Enter the same values for Subnet mask and Default gateway.
These values should be the same as they were on the first computer Give each additional computer a unique IP. Repeat these steps for each additional computer, incrementing the IP address by 1 each time up to The "Subnet mask" and "Default gateway" fields should be the same on each computer. Mitch Harris Consumer Technology Expert. Mitch Harris. A subnet mask separates where the inside of the network is and where the outside world is.
Not Helpful 0 Helpful 1. Make sure that you've entered a DNS server—if you haven't, you'll receive an error related to DNS and you won't be able to access any webpages. Select Use the following IP Address. Set the host IP address to X , where X is any integer from 1 to except 2.
Leave the Subnet mask set to its default If your radio is on another subnet, meaning the first three octets of the IP address field are not This step is optional. X3xx radios and N3xx radios provide 10GigE interface to communicate with the host computer. To use the 10GigE interface for these radios, set the jumbo packet size to bytes. On the Networking tab, click on the Configure tab and navigate to Advanced setting option.
Set the Jumbo Packet property value to bytes. The host computer configuration is complete. Use these commands to determine the IP address of the radio. After determining the IP address for the radio, update the network interface IP address, and ping the radio to verify that the host-to-radio connection is working. View the list of network interfaces, by entering this command at the Windows command prompt. Determine which Ethernet adapter is used for the internet connection by pinging the IP address associated with each Connection Name returned.
When you identify the connection name of the network adapter connected to the Internet, avoid selecting that network adapter for the radio. For more information, see Host Computer Ethernet Options. The host computer in this example uses the "Ethernet" connection name for the Internet connection.
Run the netsh command with this syntax to get the IP address of "Ethernet". Then ping that IP address to a website.
