Make a Simple LAN Computer Network

Make a simple LAN computer network is a necessity if you have a computer at home is more than one unit, and each computer you want to connect with each other woods in order to share data, printers, internet connection sharing, etc., we can do with create a computer network LAN (Local Area Network) is simple. Material needed is UTP (Unshielded twisted pair), which is standard for cable connections. How To make a simple LAN computer network at this point is generally the computer is equipped with a LAN card or also known as NIC (Network Interface Controller), or Ethernet Card.

If the LAN computer network that will connect only two units, we just simply provide a single UTP cable length according to the distance between your computer and the two ends of the cable has been fitted with an RJ-45 (standard connectors for UTP LAN cable) to the Cross configuration. Meanwhile, if the amount of your computer more than 2 units, then you must add a device called Switch or Hub. At this time the price of a switch is very affordable to buy.

Connectors for UTP cable can be made on its own, but to make it easy you just go to a store that provides computer networking equipment, and just say to buy a pair UTP cable connector with the configuration of all cross to connect the computer to computer (two computers) , or straight for more than 2 computers connect / use a switch.
Configuring the IP Address (Internet Protocol TCP / IP)To be able to communicate with each other, respectively - each computer must be alamai IP

• Go to Network Connections (Start => Control Panel => Network Connection)
• Select / double-click Local Area Connection
• Double click on Internet Protocol (TCP / IP)
• Click Use the Following IP address, then the contents of the IP address and subnet mask

For example:komputer1 IP Address: 192.168.0.1komputer2 IP Address: 192.168.0.2komputer3 IP Address: 192.168.0.3komputer4 IP Address: 192.168.0.4etc. ..Have the same Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To find out the success of the ping command to do the connection from one computer to another computerExample of komputer1 to komputer2:

• In Komputer1: Click Start => Click Run => type CMD => click OK, then it will display the Command Prompt
• Type in ping 192.168.0.2 press enter must exist from komputer2 Reply
• Do the same command to find a connection to another computer.
