Computer Network Lab: Creating A Simple Network

This document provides instructions for creating a simple computer network with 4 hosts connected by a hub. It outlines the steps to physically connect each host to the hub, configure TCP/IP settings like IP addresses on each host, test connectivity using the ping command, and share folders between hosts. The overall objective is to learn basic networking concepts like IP addressing and commands to set up and test a simple networked environment.

Computer network Lab

creating a simple
network

Objective

Learning the basic concepts needed to


create a simple network such as IP
addressing and IP classes .
Create a simple network consisting from 4
hosts connected by a hub and assign the
appropriate IP to each host
Learn the basic commands needed to test
the created network such as the ping
command to see the other hosts on the
network .

The desired network

The steps
1.

2.
3.

Connect each host to one of the


interfaces on the hub , once connected ,
the led associated with that interface will
light indicating a connection is made.
Go to my network places and press the
right click then choose properties .
Right click on local area connections and
then choose properties as shown in the
next slide

4.

Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the


window and the click the properties
button as shown

5.

Select Use the following IP address in the


window that appeared and choose a
suitable IP for your host ,as well as the
associated Subnet mask ,as for the
default Gateway (IP for the fast Ethernet
interface the hub connected to on the
router) field you can leave it empty for
now(we will discuss the gateway later in
this course ).
Note :the hosts IPs should share the
same network portion.

6.

7.

8.

Find the IP addresses of the other hosts


on your network ,then ping the host next
to you ,if the ping is successful ,that
means that your network is up and the
TCP/IP configuration is right .
Make anew folder named by your name in
the local disk (C) ,then share this folder by
following the next step.
Right click on the new folder and choose
sharing and security.

9-After sharing a folder on each host , try to enter


your neighbor host and check his shared folder .
Hint: you can enter another host in your network go
to start run , and write :
\\ the ip address of the desired host ,
See the next slide.
10-try all net commands you have learned.

THE END
