• Adding Adapters, Protocols, and Clients
• TCP/IP Configuration

Windows Layering vs. TCP/IP-OSI

• Clients and Services
• For file service
• Clients set up Windows to be a client for a
  particular type of file server
• Services set up Windows to make a users PC
  provide file and print services for other PCs on
  the network
• Very limited not for file servers on large PC
  networks

Windows Layering vs. TCP/IP-OSI

• Protocols
• Combination of transport and internet layer
  protocols
• TCP/IP is only one possibility
• IPX/SPX for Novell NetWare servers Microsoft
  sometimes calls this NW Link
• NetBEUI for some Microsoft servers on small PC
  networks

5
Windows Layering vs. TCP/IP-OSI

• Adapters
• Combination of data link layer and physical layer
  protocols
• The subnet layers
• Dial-Up adapter sets up a modem and PPP
• Other adapters, including Ethernet for a
  network interface card (NIC)

6
Bindings

• Bindings
• After add clients, services, protocols, and
  adapters, must bind the combinations that will
  work together

Bindings

• Bindings
• Bindings create communication paths between
  adjacent layer processes

Configuring Networking in Windows

• In Windows 95 and Windows 98,
• Go to the Start Button
• Choose Settings
• Choose Control Panel
• Double click the Network icon
• This opens the Network Dialog Box

9
The Network Dialog Box

• Be sure the Configuration tab is selected
• You will see adapters, protocols, clients, and
  services that have already been added
• Operations
• Add To add an adapter, protocol, client, or
  service
• Remove To remove one
• Properties To see or change the properties of
  the selected adapter, protocol, client, or service

10
The Network Dialog Box

• The Add Button
• Clicking the Add button takes you to the Select
  Network Component Type dialog box
• Choose client, protocol, adapter, or service,
  then hit Add
• Assume you chose protocol You then go to the
  Select Network Protocol dialog box
• Other choices will take you to the relevant
  Select Network dialog box

11
The Network Dialog Box

• Select Network Protocol Dialog Box
• Click on a manufacturer to see the protocols it
  offers then click on the specific protocol
• Hit OK to add the protocol from files on your
  hard drive or Have Disk if you have a disk
  containing the protocol
• The selected protocol will be added
• The Select Network Client, Service, and Adapter
  dialog boxes work the same way

12
The Network Dialog Box

• To configure a protocol after adding it
• Go to the Network Dialog Box
• Click on the target protocol, etc.
• Click on the Properties button below it
• A dialog box specific to that protocol, etc. will
  appear
• This will allow you to configure the protocol,
  etc.

13
The TCP/IP Properties Box

• To configure TCP/IP
• Click on TCP/IP on the Configuration tab of the
  Network Dialog Box
• Click on the Properties button below it
• This opens the TCP/IP Properties dialog box
• The TCP/IP Properties dialog box has multiple tabs

14
The TCP/IP Properties Box

• By default, the IP Address tab is shown when you
  open the TCP/IP Properties Dialog Box
• There are two radio buttons allowing you to
  either
• Specify an IP address or
• Obtain an IP address automatically

15
The TCP/IP Properties Box

• Specify an IP address
• Type in your PCs permanent IP address
• Type in your local subnet mask (discussed in
  Chapter 3)
• Also, on other tabs, setup other parameters
• Gateway (default router)
• DNS Configuration
• Bindings

16
The TCP/IP Properties Box

• Specify an IP address
• Gateway IP address router to send packets to if
  no other router is specified Gateway is the old
  name for router
• DNS Configuration Enable or disable DNS, enter
  DNS hosts IP address and IP address of backup
  DNS host
• Bindings bindings between the TCP/IP protocol
  and clients/services and adapters

17
The TCP/IP Properties Box

• Obtain IP address automatically
• Asks a DHCP autoconfiguration host for a
  temporary IP address
• Also obtains most other configuration information
  from the autoconfiguration host as well
• Almost always the best choice for client PCs
