Windows Help
Almost all networking products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used
operating system in the world and comes with many features that help make networking
easier. These features can be accessed through Windows Help and are described in this
appendix.

TCP/IP

Before a computer can communicate within a network, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set
of instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a network. This is true for
wireless networks as well. Your PCs will not be able to utilize wireless networking without
having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions on enabling TCP/IP.

Shared Resources

If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your network, Windows Help provides
complete instructions on utilizing shared resources.

Network Neighborhood/My Network Places

Other PCs on your network appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network Places
(depending upon the version of Windows you're running). Windows Help provides complete
instructions on adding PCs to your network.
