3.4 Defining the Computer Name/Workgroup
Irrespective of the protocol used, each computer also needs a name and the assignment to a workgroup.
As in the case of the IP address, the computer name also needs to be unique and may only occur once
in your workgroup.
X Click on START - CONTROL PANEL, PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE and then select SHOW
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPUTER.
If you have chosen the classic control panel view, click on SYSTEM instead.
X Select the COMPUTER NAME tab and enter a description of your computer, if needed. If you then
click on CHANGE, you can define the computer name and workgroup.
X Assign each computer a different and clear name.
X Assign each computer to the same workgroup.
X Click on OK.
X If everything is correct, the computer will be added to the workgroup. Click on OK.
X You now need to reboot your computer. This enables the changes made. Click on OK and then again
on OK to reboot.

3.5 Sharing Folders
The folder share function enables you to define the resources which are to be available to the network.
Everything which has been approved for sharing on the network is available for common use.
Folder
Drives
Printer
Resources which have not been approved for sharing remain private!
The joint use of devices and files has many benefits:
Files can be easily copied from computer to computer, can be moved or processed together.
Only those devices which are available once, such as the printer or ZIP drive, can be accessed from
all workplaces.
Making resources available means to accept and apply server functions. In a peer-to-peer network, this
is then possible for each computer in the workgroup. In order for a computer to act as a server, the file
and printer sharing function needs to be configured. This has been taken care of at the installation of the
network card. You can therefore share those folder(s) which you want to use together.
X Search for the folder at your workplace.
X Right-click with the mouse on the required folder.
X In the context menu, you will find the option SHARING AND SECURITY, which you can use to define
further settings.
X The next two windows will only appear when you set up your first share. Windows will inform you that
shared data form a certain security risk. The remote access is therefore initially disabled. Click on
Graphic, ENABLE FILE SHARING and then on OK.
X You can now share your data. Select SHARE THIS FOLDER and specify a share name. Use this
name to access your data later on. The share name and the name of the folder do not need to be
identical.

X You then need to define whether data may be changed during access via the network or not.
X Click on OK.
X The shared folder will now be shown with a hand:
X Click on START - DESKTOP - NETWORK CONNECTIONS to access the released folder. You have
the following two options:
Directly, on the top level
When you open the network environment, you will see the released resources for all computers in your
network, listed next to one another. To find the required folder, select SHARE NAME TO COMPUTER
NAME and in this case DATA TO BMW.
If you specified a computer description when you assigned the computer name, you will need to search
for SHARE NAME TO COMPUTER DESCRIPTION (COMPUTER NAME), for example for DATA TO
PETERS PC (FERRARI).
Hierarchically, on the computer level
If you work your way through to a certain computer in the network, you will only see the shared resources
for the computer you have currently reached. Click on SHOW WORKGROUP COMPUTER. Double-click
on the computer name, in the form of COMPUTER NAME or COMPUTER DESCRIPTION (COMPUTER
NAME), and search for the required share name, in this case DATA in the folder BMW.
If you have decided to permit the option NETWORK USERS MAY CHANGE FILES, you will then be able
to read, copy, move, change and delete files in this folder from any computer in your network. You can
also add new files and have access to subfolders and subfiles.
Proceed in the same manner to share entire drives e.g.
Hard drive or partitions
CD ROM drives
Zip drives
A share setting can be canceled by selecting SHARING AND SECURITY from the menu. Disable the
checkbox SHARE THIS PRINTER. The resource concerned will then be hidden under the computer
name. However, the folder link remains in the network environment. Although this link is still present, it
can not be accessed unless you share it again.
