Create a connection over the local network of Windows 7

Sooner or later you will need to connect your computer to a network or to combine home devices with each other. First, it is necessary to do this in order to provide access to the World Wide Web. Secondly, when there are several computers in one apartment or house, it is very useful to unite them. The necessary data will be access from any machine, and network games will also be available . In order to do this, you must enter the appropriate parameters. Which ones - you will now find out.

The Windows 7 local network connection is configured using the control panel of this operating system. It allows you to configure the existing connection, as well as join the necessary network, which can be both home and worldwide. In Windows 7, the LAN connection is practically the same as in the previous Windows. The main differences are only in the interface.

I draw your attention to the fact that IPv6 has been added to the IPv4 protocol. This made it possible to significantly expand the range of applied IP-addresses. However, such a connection on the local network of Windows 7 is not used so far. And the providers do not really seek this.

So, let's start the setup. Press the familiar "Start" button, which will open the main menu. We find there "Control Panel" and start. When the settings window opens, select the way to view the content, which is called "Category". Find the "Network and Internet" section, in which you will need to select the view tab and network status and tasks. This will enable the computer to display the center responsible for managing your networks, as well as sharing. It contains the necessary information about the available connections. And thanks to him you can create your own.

At the very top of this window is a map of the available connection. In order to create a new connection over the local network of Windows 7, you need to select the adapter parameters in the center window. After this procedure, a window will open where you will need to right-click your manipulator to click on the connection icon. When you see the context menu, you must select the properties.

After you do this, the "Windows 7 Local Area Connection" window will appear. Again, we call the properties where we need to tick TCP / IPv4. Then select "Properties" and fill in the fields with the values that are specified in the contract with the provider or the help desk. But these parameters can and do not enter. In this case, you will receive them automatically.

After all this, confirm your settings by clicking on the "OK" button. Next, we need to make sure that our connection is properly configured and functioning. To do this, we open network connections. When they are opened, right-click the manipulator by clicking on the icon whose name is "Connecting on the local network of Windows 7" - and in the context menu you go to the "Status" item.

In the appeared window pay attention to its lower half. There will be two groups of values under the letters "Sent" and "Accepted". Your connection functions normally when these values are almost constantly changing. If they stand still or only one of them changes, this indicates that something has been done wrong. Go back to the very first item and double-check all your actions. Most likely, somewhere there is a mistake that needs to be corrected.

Now you know how to connect your device to a new network, and also create your own.
