Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This chapter provides a basic understanding of network principles, so you

can begin to take adv a nta g e of yo ur ne w An yPoint™ Wireless II Network. It also gives you useful information that will help you modify your network to meet your changing needs.

To get the most out of your home or small business network, think about what you can gain when you connect all your PCs together so they work as a group. For example, with two or mo re PCs connected together, you can:

• Share an Internet connection

• Share a printer

• Share files such as spreadsheets and written documents

• Play digital audio from another PC

• Play head-to-head multi-play er ga mes

• Use your laptop at home and at work

And the included Firewall and Web site filtering features help you to:

• Protect your network from electronic intrusion

• Block access to objectionable Web sites

A network allows multiple users to share resources.

CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network

What is a network?

A computer network consists of two or more PCs that are able to communicate with each other. Through a network, multiple PCs can share resources, such as printers, an Internet con nection, or stored data. It costs less to share resources than provide every PC with its own printer or Internet connection.

You can also access a file located on other PCs in the network just as if the file was locate d on yo ur own P C. For in stance, from a PC upstai rs, yo u may want to listen to a larg e music file or view digital p hotos loc ated on a nother PC downstairs. You can keep the files for large applications on a system with a larger drive capacit y and then access those files with other PCs in the network.

Components required to connect a PC to a net work

To make your Any P oi nt ™ Wireless II network function, you need three components.

1 A Wireless II network adapter for each PC 2 A device driver and wireless settings 3 An AnyPoint™ Connectivity Suite CD

Your Wireless II network adapter

A network adapter is a hardware device that provides the co nnection between your PC and the network. The adapter converts the data inside your PC to a form that c a n be sent to other PCs. It connects externally to your PC through the Universal Serial Bus (USB), or in the case of a laptop PC, through a PC card.

Wireless adapters use radio waves as the means of connection, and transmit data through the air just like a cordless telephone; no connecting wires between PCs are necessary. The wireless adapter can communicate with all PCs in the network as long as they are in close proximity to each other (up to 300 feet). Keeping the adapters physically close to one another will improve the speed of data transmission.

Device driver and wireless adapte r set tings

Your Wireless II adapter requires a device driver to function. The driver is actually software code that specifically controls how the PC and the adapter communicate with each other. The your Wireless II adapter communicates with the other adapters in the network. You cannot change the device driver software, but as you will learn later in this chapter, you can change the adapter settings.

wireless adapter settings control how

Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1

The device driver and adapter settings are installed when you first set up your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network using the Installation Guide.

The AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite CD

The AnyPoint Connectivity Softwa re Suite is on your CD. I t contains programs for your home and small business network. During network installation, you install this software:

• Device driver for yo ur ne tw o rk adapter

• AnyPoint Sharin g an d Ma pping software

• AnyPoint Internet Sharing software (ISS)

• Firewall for Internet security

• Web site filtering for Parental Control

• The AnyPoint Connect ion Manager to manage your Wireless II

network

• Anypoint Extras for additional entertainment applications For instructions to install the AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite, see

"Install the AnyPoi nt software" on page 11.

How does my Wireless II adapter operate?

The network mode is one of the adapter settings you must enter during installation. Wireless networks can operate in one of two mo des:

1 Peer-to-Peer (sometimes called Ad Hoc) 2 Infrastructure

Peer-to-Peer mode

In the peer-to-peer mode, sometimes called ad-hoc mode, PCs transmit and receive data directly with other PCs in the network using radio waves. Coordination of data traffic between PCs is d one automatically. The

CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network

following figure shows PCs with Wireless II adapters in various rooms of a house communicat ing directly with one another in peer-to-peer mode.

Infrastructure mode

In the Infrastructure mode, PCs transmit and receive data to and from a gateway or an access point (AP). Many corporate networks use access points, which serve as a commu nications hub for all PCs u s ing 802.11b wireless adapters to connect to a wireless or wired LAN. A residential gateway can be used in home networks to connect to the Internet.

How do I use my Wireless II laptop in different locations?

You can conn ec t yo ur la ptop to potentially an y ne twork with 802.11b technology. In your home, you can carry your laptop from room to room and stay connected. You can take your laptop to your office, change a few wireless adapter settings, and connect to you r of fi ce ne two rk. And while at

CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network

work, you can travel between your office, a conference room, and an outdoor courtyard and remain connected to the work network and its resources.

To easily connect to other networks, you can use the AnyPoint Connection Manager software.

What is the AnyPoint Connection Mana ger?

The AnyPoint C onnect ion M anager is a s oftware to ol th at is ava ilable when you install your AnyPoint Wireless II adapter. The basic job of the AnyPoint Connection Manager is twofold:

Edits Wireless settings - Y ou can quickly edit your current Wireless II

•

settings of your adapter.

Creates Profiles - You can save the Wireless II adapter and operating

•

system settings into a single network profile. The software lets you create as many profiles as you wish, and switch between them at any time.

Before you can perform these tasks, you need to understand three concepts:

1 Wireless II adapter and operating system settings 2 Profiles 3 Network switching

What are Wireles s II ada pte r and operating syst em settings?

The wireless II adapter settings are wireless controls that t he adapter needs to communicate with the network. Within the standard 802.11b technology, there are several settings as defined by Institu te of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). To use your Wireless II laptop in multiple networks, you need to chang e a few of these settings usin g the AnyPoint Connection Manager tab" on page 38). The major settings include:

• Network ID Code (SSID) - This is the network identification code. All devices that you are connecting to mus t ha ve the same SSID to communicate with each other.

Mode - There are two operating transmission modes: P eer-to- Peer, or

•

Infrastructure. See page 3 in this chapter for more details.

Profile Manager tab (see "Profile Manager

Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1

• Other settings - In some networks, you will be prompted to provide other 802.1 1b settin gs.

The operating system se ttings define shared and mapped drives, printers, browsers, TCP/IP (addressing) functions and standard windows operating settings. You can also save these settings in network profiles using the

Profile Manager tab.

What is a profile?

Network profiles contain all the setting listed in the previous section. For example, you can set up several network profiles — one for your AnyPoint home network; another for your place of business, and yet another for public access points. The AnyP oint Connection Manager software lets you setup as many profiles as you need.

Note: You rarely change profil es on your desktop PC, unless you are adding an access point or gateway into your network. For a

laptop PC, you may add several profile s f o r use in several

networks.

What is network switching?

The AnyPoint Connection Manager lets you easily witch between multiple networks. When shutting down or starting your PC, you can select which network profile to use. For more details, see "Using the AnyPoint Connection Manager" on page 38.

What settings are switched in a network profile?

Each network profile contains the setting s foun d in the Netwo rk Con trol Panel, as well as a few othe rs.

Wireless settings:

• All 802.11b settings including network ID code, mod e, channel, and encryption

Operating system settings:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer* (4.0 and later) proxy settings

• Network resource settings, such as file and printer sharing settings,

default printers, mapped drives (Windows 95 and Windows 98 only), and shared folders

• Some TCP/IP settin gs (found on the networ k control panel’s TCP/IP properties tab)

• Windows domain settings

• User name and Host name

• Software running at startup for the AnyPoint applications

CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network

What is sharing and mapping?

The concept of sharing and mapping is actually a two-fold process that allows two or more PCs to locate and use each other’s drives and printers as if they were on one single PC. The two processes work together. The AnyPoint Sharin g an d Ma pp in g so f tw a re allo w s you to f irs t dec id e whi ch drives and printers on each PC are to be shared with the network. Then, the software allows you to map to each shared drive and printer from each PC.

The sharing process lets you control the degree of access by setting the share status for each of your drives and printers. For drives, you would select either you would select either printers" on page 15 for a description of each type of share status. The mapping process sets up a drive letter on your PC that points to ea ch s h ar ed drive on the other PC . You can even assign your own letters to a drive (if they are not already used by the system).

Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1

What is Internet Sharing Software (ISS)?

AnyPoint Internet Sharing Software (ISS) allows all of your PCs to share one PC’s Internet connection. With AnyPoint Wireless II adapters, ISS is available only in Peer-to Peer mode, when all PCs communicate directly with each other. You merely set up the PC with the Internet connection as an ISS server. You then set up the remaining PCs as ISS clients. The ISS server PC directs data between the Internet and all PCs on the network. Because each client PC connects to the Internet through the server, only the server PC needs the actual physica l connection to the Internet (see "Connect to the Internet" on page 33). With the server on, any other PC in the network has access to the Internet. Also, for connecting to virtual private networks with Internet access, see "Connecting with Virtual Private Network (VPN)" on pa ge 37.

The ISS server also provides Internet security with Firewall and Web site filtering.

Note: If you are connecting to a n et w or k such as an access point or a gateway, you cannot use ISS, the Firewall, and Web site filtering. Refer to the documentation for the access point or gateway for setting up connections to the Internet.

What is a Firewall?

A Firewall helps prevent intruders (h ackers) from br eaking in to your h o me or office network. When your connection to the Internet is active, the Firewall acts like a barrier to outside intrusion.

CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network

Once you install the Firewall through your ISS server, it works silently to protect your PC whenever the ISS server PC is operating.

The Firewall has four security levels:

Paranoid

. Inbound traffic is blocked acco rding to the security level you

Trusting, Cautious, Nervous and

select. The more restrictive the security level, the more likely the Firewall will block unsolicited inbound traffic.

Trusting is the least restrictive. Refer to the section "Set up the Firewall" on

Paranoid is the most restrictive and

page 20 for more information.

Importa nt: A Firewall provides pro te cti on against unauthorized access by hackers, but you will still need additional software to help protect you against computer viruses.

What is Web site filteri ng?

The AnyPoint Connectivity So ftware Suite identifies and filters Web page content in specified categories (such as pornography, hate speech, weapons, drugs, and gambling) . At home, you can set up Parental Control to block undesirable Web pages from appearing on specific PCs on your network. Refer to the section "Set up Parental Control" on page 23 to set up each PC with different levels of Web access:

• Select the option objectionable sites. Yo u c an ad d exc e pt ion s to the au to matic op tio n for sites you wish to allow or filter.

• Select

Allow these sites only to specify an acceptable list of Web sites

each PC can visit. You must click HTTP sites you want to allow.

• Select

Guidelines for setting up your network

It is easy to set up your network, but you need to plan a little. Draw a diagram showing the location of PCs and printer(s). Ind icate the locati on of data or printers you want to be available t o everyone on the network and other data or printers you do not want to be available to everyone. It is important to identify the PC you will use for your shared Internet connection. This is usu a lly th e PC with th e fast est c onnec tio n thro ug h y our modem (or cable).

The Firewall has four security levels: Paranoid (most restrictive),

Nervous, Cautious, and Trusting (least restrictive).

Security Level Description

Paranoid

Blocks all inbound intrusions and restricts some Web browsing and interactive content.

Nervous

Restricts some interactive content on Web sites. Does not affect streaming media and other application-specific Internet usage.

Cautious (default) Blocks some inbound i ntrusions and does not

interfere with normal Internet us age. This settin g is best for regular use of the Internet.

Trusting

Blocks file sharing over the Internet. Internet file sharing allows the user to share file s on their di sk with others across the Internet. Blocking Internet file sharing ensures that hackers cannot download files to your computer. Does not affect file sharing on yo ur A ny Point network, even though Internet file sharing is disabled.

Change the se curit y l ev el

By default, the security level is set to Cautious, which prevents many common Internet attacks while still letting y ou use most Internet prog rams.

To change the security level:

Set up Parental Control

See "What is Web site filtering?" on page 10.

Setting up and changing the Parental Control password

The Parental Control feature lets you filter the Web sites each PC can visit. With Parental Control, you can assign different restrictions to each PC running ISS. You can also specifically block or approve different sites. You must use the ISS server to set up Web site filtering features. Also, client PCs on the network must enter the Internet through the server for Parental Control features to operate. If a client PC dials the Internet through a separate modem, Parental Control features will not operate or protect the client PC.

To set up a password:

Click Start > AnyPoint software > Internet Sharing Server.

1 2 Click the Parental Control tab.

This chapter explains how to use and change shared drives and printers after you’ve set up the AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network. For conceptual information, see "W hat is sharing and mapping?" on page 8.

Note: Windows* 2000 user s can set different mapping configurations for se par at e ac counts so that they can use a laptop at home on one account and use the other account at work. Refer to "How do I use my Wireless I I laptop in different locations?" on page 5 for more information.

Use network drives

See "What is sharing and mapping?" on page 8.

When a PC shares a drive, other users on the network can share information on the drive as though it were directly attach ed to th e ir PC. Wh en yo u map to a shared drive, you allow your PC to access shared drives on other PCs in your network.

For example, to view the shared drives and printers on your home network, double-click for a PC to see that PC’s shared drives and printers. In this example, the Kitchen PC is sharing drives C and D and a printer.

Note: For Windows 2000 and W indows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) users, w hen you are instructed to look in

It may take several minute s for the PC to ap pear in Networ k Neighbor hood. If it does not appear, see "I can’t see a network PC from ano the r PC" on page 51.

You can view the mapped drives on your own PC by looking in the following places:

• Network Neighborhood

• My Computer

• Windows desktop icons (shortcuts)

• Open and Save file di alog boxes

• Sharing and Mapping Software

• Windows Explorer

Note: If you are a Windows 2000 user and have installed the AnyPoint Connection Manager (ACM), the sharing and m apping software only shares information for the drives when it detects an AnyPoint adapter in the ac tive profile. With a different network profile, different shared drives are visible.

Connecting with Virtual Priv ate Network ( VPN)

Importa nt: If you use or plan to install a VPN, you wi ll no t wan t to

install Internet Sharing Softw are (ISS). To optim iz e your network with VPN, you may want to consider purchasing a Wireless Gateway or use Micro sof t ’s Internet Connection Software (ICS) provided with windows.

If you need more information on VPN, check the AnyPoint Wireless II Network Online Support site at:

Importa nt: www.intel.com/anypoint/support/

A VPN is an encrypted network that provi des a secure private connection, usually for a corporate network. If you use VPN, note the following:

• We recommend an 802.11b Wireless Gateway, which work s with most

VPNs. See

www.intel.com/anypoint for more information.

• Without a gateway, install the AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite,

but choose not to install Internet Sharing Software when prompted. If users have a Win98 SE (or higher), install Microsoft’s ICS to share Internet access.

• Do not install the VPN client software on the sam e computer as the ICS

server (the computer with the Internet connection).

With these considerations in mind, refer to your VPN manual for installation instructions.

Managing your Wireless II Network

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When you installed your AnyPoint™ Wireless II adapter, you configured your adapter settings to work in your primary network. For desktop PCs, you rarely need to change these settings. For laptop PCs that you want to use in different locations, you need to change the settings everytime you connect to anot he r ne tw or k .

This chapter describes various tasks you might enc ounter when managing your Wireless II network.

Note: For a description of all netw orking concepts, refer to

Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network on page 1.

Using the AnyPoint Connection Manager

You can use the AnyPoint Connection Manager to edit wireless settings, create profiles, and connect to any network profile. You can use one of two tabs:

Wireless Control Panel tab

Use the Wireless Control Panel (WCP) tab to view or edit current wireless settings, such as Network ID code (SSID), Mode (Peer-to-peer or Infrastructure), channel, header, and encryption keys. This tab is the first screen you see when you open the AnyPoint Connection Manager.

On desktop PCs, you can view and edit the settings on this tab when you are changing your network, such as adding a new PC or gateway. On laptop PCs, you can easily change settings on this tab to connect to a different network.

Profile Manager tab

Use the Profile Manager tab to create, edit, and switch profiles. Profiles contain all the wireless settings and operating system settings such as shared drives, printer s , browsers, TCP/IP addressing, and windows settings. You can also use this tab to public access points on page 42 for details.

Scan for other networks. See Scan for

Managing your Wireless II Network CHAPTER 5

Y ou may use this tab frequently if you carry your laptop from home to work or to public access points. It provides a wizard for changing basic settings. Once you select and connect to a given profile, the connection manager software loads the appropriate settings.

View and edit current settings using the Wireless Control Panel tab

You can view and edit current wireless settings using the Wireless Control Panel. When you open the AnyPoint Connection manager, you see the

Select Activate then Close. Your computer will load the settings for the selected profile and reboot if necessary.

Creating a new profile

If you plan to use your laptop in several networks, you can create a profile for each network. All profiles contain the wireless and operating system settings including:

• profile name

• profile network configuration type

• network mode

• encryption

• Windows network settings

What are the profile configuration types?

With your Wireless II network, there are two ways to configure profiles:

1 AnyPoint wireless network configuration - Choose this profile type if

your network uses on ly An yPoin t Wireless II devices. This profile type is the easiest to create. The profile wizard merely asks you for a name and password, and an encryption code. Using your input, the software defaults the other settings.

2 Manual wireless network configuration - Choose this profile type if

your network includes any wireless adapter (using 802.11b technology) other than an AnyPoint Wireless II adapter. In this case, the profile wizard prompts you for more input for specific 802.11b setting s .

What are the profi le modes?

When you create a profile, you will select one of two profile modes: Peer-

to-Peer

(or ad hoc) mode or the Infrastructure mode.

Before you can make that decision, you must know which type of profile you want to create. To help you decide, consider the following options.

Configure a n Infrastructure profile if you want to connect:

• to a public access point, such as an airport or coffee house.

• to a home or small office network with a gateway.

• to a corporate wired network or in a network that uses a gat eway.

Configure a Peer-to-Peer profile if you want to connect to:

• a home or small office network with only PCs (and no gateway).

CHAPTER 5 Managing your Wireless II Network

Refer to one of the remaining sections that best represents the type of network profile you want to creat e. The steps in each section help you select profile type, mode, and 802.11b settings for each.

Note: For information explaining the technical differences between the mode variations, see page 3.

Scan for public access points

The Profile Manager tab of the AnyPoint Connection Manager includes a button to scan for access points. If you want to see if any access points are in range of your adapter, click the

Set up the network to share Internet access

Internet Sharing Software (ISS) lets multiple PCs on the AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network access the Internet simultaneously, using only one modem (or other Internet connection) and one Internet account.

Important: If you have installed your AnyPoint Wireless II adapter into a network through an access point, VPN, or a gateway, you cannot use ISS and its feature s.

For most Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the Internet connection is shared automatically when you install ISS. However, some ISPs (such as America Online* and AT&T WorldNet*) require extra steps to work with ISS. Continuous connections, such as cable modems or DSL, also require special procedures to set up the connection. If you access the Internet through any of these systems, see the appropriate section below.

Note: If you can’t find the ISP or the inform ati on you are looking for, visit the AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network Online Support site at:

Set up America Online* (AOL*) with ISS

In addition to Internet access, AOL* provides other services to its subscribers. Only the ISS server can access those services through AOL’s software. ISS clients can use Internet programs such as Netscape Navigator* or Microsoft Internet Explorer* to access the Internet through the ISS server’s connection. Users as ISS clients can also access AOL services, like e-mail, at AOL’s Web site (www.aol.com).

The AnyPoint Internet Sharing Software is compatible with AOL versions

3.0 or higher. To find out which version of AOL you are using:

Set up continuous Internet connections with ISS

ISS treats continuous Internet conne ctions (cable modems, DSL lines, satellite connections) like dial-up Internet accounts, with some exceptions:

• You can’t hang up the connection

• The connection doesn’t time out

To make sure your cable or DSL service is set up properly:

Click Start > Intel AnyPoint Network > Internet Sharing Server.

1 2 Click on the Connection tab and select DSL service or Cable Modem.

To use a continuous Internet connection from an ISS server or client, run an Internet application li ke Micro soft Inte rnet Exp lorer o r Netscap e Naviga tor.

An important note on PC naming with continuous Internet connections

When continuous Internet connections are installed, it is often necessary for the installer to rename your PC. Do not change this name. Changing the name assigned by the installer may make the PC unable to access the Internet.

If you have already changed the PC name, reset it:

From the Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Network.

1 2 Click the Identification tab. 3 In the Computer name text box, type the PC name the installer

This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro te ction ag ainst harmful interference in a residential installation. Installed correctly, it probably will not interfere with radio or TV reception. However, we do not guarantee the absence of interference.

This product generates and uses energy of about the same frequency as radio and TV broadcasts. Installed incorrectly, it may interfere with reception of radio and TV broadcasts. If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn your computer on and off while the radio or TV is showing interference. If the interference disappears when you turn the computer off and reappears when you turn the computer on, something in the computer is causing interference.

To reduce interference, try these suggestions:

• Change the direction of the radio or TV antenna.

• Move the computer, radio, or TV. For example, if the computer is to the right of the TV, move it to the left of the TV . Or

move them farther apart.

• Plug the computer into a different electrical outlet than the radio or TV.

• Ensure that all expansion slots (on the back or side of the computer) are covered. Also ensure that all metal retaining

brackets are tightly attached to the computer.

Note: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two c onditi ons: (1) Thi s device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution: If the device is changed or modified without permission from Intel, the user may void his or her authority to operate the equipment.

802.11b: A specific networking standard creat ed by IEEE that defines engineering design

parameters for high-speed wireless data transmission. The 802.11b standard allows different manufacturers to create wireless products that are compatible with each other.

Ad Hoc Mode: (or peer-to-peer) A software setting for 802.11b wireless adapters. Ad-Hoc

mode allows independent peer-to-peer connectivity from one PC to another in a wireless network. See also Access Point and Infrastructure Mode.

Adapter (network adapter or NIC): A hardware device that allows yo ur PC to connect to a

network. Internal adapters install inside your PC like other expansion cards. External adapters connect to your PC through the USB or a serial port like other exter n al de v i c es.

Access Point (AP): A hardware device that serve s as a communications “hub” for 802.11b

wireless PCs and can also provide a connection to a wired network. An AP can double the range of wireless client PCs and provide enhan ced security.

Channel:

Client: Any PC that requests services (files, print capability) from another member of the

network. Typically, a group of client PCs depend on the functions of a server PC. Similarly, client wireless adapters can depend on a variety of functions provided by an access point.

Driver (Device Driver): Special software programs required for any device to install properly

on a PC. Devices include network adapters, printers, scanners, modems, audio cards, CD drives, monitors etc. Drivers enable the device to coordinate its activities with the PC to which it is attached.

Encryption: A method of converting all of the information that is transmitted over a wireless

network into a form that cannot be read by unauthorized persons. Encrypt ion provides additional data security in 802.11b wireless networks.

Ethernet: The most widely used netw ork a cces s met hod. E the rne t is de fine d by t he IEEE 80 2.3

standard. Ethernet networks op erat e at 10Mbps using CSMA/CD (Carrier-Sense Multiple Access) to run over 10BaseT cables.

Gateway: A network device that provides a bridge or entrance to another network. For

example, a residential gateway can allow a wireless network to conn ect to a phoneline or Ethernet networ k.

Infrastructure Mode: A software setting for 802.11b wireless adapters allowin g connecti vity to

a central access point (AP). The AP not only mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood, but also provides communicati on with a wired network. See AD-Hoc and Access Point.

IEEE: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. ISP (Internet Service Provider): An organization that provides access to the Internet. Users

connect with the ISP using a conventional or broadband modem. The major online services

such as America Online* and CompuServe 2000* provide Internet access but are still known as “online services”, not ISPs.

LAN (Local Area Network): A computer network that serves users within a defined

geographical area. The benefits include the sharing of Internet access, files and equipment like printers and storage devices. LANs use Ethernet cabling (10BaseT), existing phone lines or radio waves to transmit data between the PCs. LANs include home and small-business networks.

Mapping: Lets your PC recognize and communicate with a drive or printer located on another

PC in the network. For example, in orde r to c opy files from a hard driv e locat ed in a no ther PC, you must “map to the drive” from your PC

and make sure the drive is shared at the ot her end.
