3. Networking Computers
Assuming that all your computers are set up and have windows installed and running, the next thing to do is
setup networking so that the computers can share data.
In order to network computers together, obviously, every computer must have a network adaptor installed. The
vast majority of new computers will include this as standard.
Naming Conventions
Each computer must have a unique name so that you can easily identify it on the network. The name and
description for each computer can be entered from the System icon in the Control Panel of Windows. Enter a
Computer Description in the space provided. Then click on the Change button and enter a computer name. Also
make sure that the Workgroup name is WORKGROUP.
