HOW TO SET UP THE NETWORK FOLDER?

1. On the desktop (or in any other place) create a folder. We created a folder and named it. " Network exchange"with the number 1.

2. Click on it with the right mouse button, select "Properties."

  • "Enable File and Printer Sharing"
  • "Enable sharing so that network users can read and write files in shared folders"
  • "Use 128-bit encryption to protect shared connections (recommended)"
  • "Disable sharing with password protection"
  • "Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended)"

On this create network folder   completed.

In the Windows operating system, you can connect to a folder on the local home network to exchange data between computers using public folders. This is a very convenient and fast way to transfer files on a PC-PC scheme, without using external media (flash drives, external hard disks, memory cards, etc.).

In this article I will talk about the creation of a local network on the example of an operating windows systems   10. Creating and configuring a local network in Windows 8 and in Windows 7 occurs in a similar way, this instruction is universal.

The article describes the following use of shared folders on the local network: several computers connected via a cable are connected to the router wireless network   Wi-Fi combined in home network. A shared folder is created on each computer, all the computers included in this folder have access to the shared folders. local network.

On computers connected to the home network can be installed oS   Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 (different operating systems, or the same operating system) connected to the router via Wi-Fi or cable.

Creating and configuring a local network takes place in four stages:

  • the first step is to check the name of the working group and settings network card
  • the second stage is the creation and configuration of local network parameters
  • the third step is to connect to a shared folder on the local network
  • the fourth stage is the exchange of data over the local network

First you need to check the workgroup settings and network card settings, and then create a Windows local network.

Verify network card and workgroup settings

On the desktop, right-click on the “This Computer” icon (“My Computer”, “Computer”), select the “Properties” item in the context menu. In the "System" window, click on the item " Extra options   systems. "

In the System Properties window that opens, open the Computer Name tab. Here you will see the name of the working group. By default, in Windows 10, the workgroup is named “WORKGROUP”.

On all computers connected to this local network, the name of the workgroup should be the same. If the workgroups have different names on the computers connected to the network, change the names by selecting one name for the workgroup.

To do this, click on the "Change ..." button; in the "Change computer or domain name" window, give another name to the workgroup (write a new name in capital letters, preferably in English).

Now check the settings of the network card. To do this, right-click on the network icon (Internet access) in the notification area. Click on "Network and Sharing Center". In the "Network and Sharing Center" window, click on the "Change adapter settings" link.

In the window " Network connections»Choose a network card, Ethernet or Wi-Fi, depending on the way your computer is connected to the Internet. Next, right-click on the network card, click on "Properties" in the context menu.

In the properties of a network card, in the Network tab, select the IP Version 4 (TCP / IPv4) component, and then click the Properties button.

In the Internet protocol properties window that will open, in the "General" tab, check the parameters of the IP address and DNS service. In most cases, these parameters are assigned automatically. If these parameters are inserted manually, check the corresponding addresses from your Internet provider (the IP address on computers connected to the network should be different).

After checking the parameters, you can go directly to creating a local network in Windows.

Creating a local network

The first step is to configure the network settings in Windows. Enter the "Network and Sharing Center", click on the item "Change advanced sharing options."

In the "Advanced sharing options" window, you can change the sharing settings for various network profiles. Windows operating system for each network used creates a separate network profile with its own special parameters.

There are three network profiles available:

  • Private
  • Guest or public
  • All networks

In the network profile, in the Network Discovery option, select Enable Network Discovery.

In the "File and Printer Sharing" setting, activate the "Enable file and printer sharing" option.

In the "Home Group Connection" setting, select "Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended)".


After that open the network profile "All networks". Under Public Folder Sharing, select Enable Sharing so that network users can read and write files in public folders.

In the “File Sharing Connection” option, select the setting “Use 128-bit encryption to protect shared connections (recommended)”.

In the parameter "Sharing with password protection" activate the item "Disable password-protected sharing".


After completing the settings, click on “Save Changes”.

Repeat all these steps on all computers that you plan to connect to your home network:

  • check the name of the workgroup (the name must be the same)
  • check network card settings
  • in the sharing settings, enable network discovery, enable file and printer sharing, disable password-protected sharing

How to enable folder sharing

In this case, I created a folder named "Shared". Right-click on this folder, in the folder properties window open the “Access” tab.

Then click on the “Advanced Setup” button.

In the “Advanced Sharing Settings” window, activate the “Share this folder” option, and then click on the “Permissions” button.

Select permissions to use shared folder data from another computer. There is a choice of three options:

  • Full access
  • Change
  • Reading

To save the settings, click on the "OK" button.

Re-enter the properties of the folder, click the Security tab, and then click the Change ... button.

In the window that opens, enter the name “All” (without quotes) in the “Enter the names of the objects to be selected” field, and then click on the “OK” button.


In the folder properties window, in the Security tab, configure the permissions that you previously selected for the shared folder.

To change the permissions for the group “All”, click on the “Advanced” button. In the Advanced Security Settings for Shared Folder window, select the Everyone group, and then click the Edit button to change permissions.

LAN setup in Windows is complete. In some cases, it may be necessary to restart the computer for all changes to take effect.

Login to the local home network

Open Windows Explorer, in the "Network" section you will see all available computers connected to the local home network. To log in to another computer, click on the computer name, and then click on the name of the shared folder in order to access the files and folders in the shared folder.

The local network in Windows 10 is created and configured.

Troubleshoot some network issues

Sometimes, after setting up the network, there are problems with accessing folders on the local network. One of possible problemsThere may be an incorrect network profile. I myself encountered this on my computer. After reinstalling the system, I created and configured a local network, but my computer did not see two laptops connected to this network. With a laptop, you could easily go into shared folder   my computer, and the computer did not see them at all.

I checked all the settings of the local network several times, and only then noticed that the public network was working on my computer, and not a private (home) network, like on laptops. How can this problem be solved?

Enter the "Network and Sharing Center", click on "Troubleshooting". Select the "Public Folders" section, run diagnostics and troubleshooting. At the very end, the application will offer to configure the network as private. Apply this hotfix, and then restart the computer. After performing this operation, my computer gained access to shared folders on laptops on the local network.

Often problems arise due to wrong setting   network. In Windows 10, it is possible to reset the network settings to the default settings. Enter "Settings", "Network and Internet", in the section "Changing Network Settings" click on "Reset Network" to apply network settings   default.

There may be other problems, look for their solution on the Internet.

Conclusion

In Windows, you can create a local private (home) network between computers, to share data using public folders, access the printer. On computers on the same network, different or the same operating systems may be installed (Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7).

To use this feature is required account   Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007. Most Personal Accounts email Do not use Microsoft Exchange. Additional information about credentials microsoft records   Exchange and determining the version of Exchange to which the account is connected, see the links in the "See also" section.
