how to make LAN network

in this post, I will discuss about how to create a network (LAN) with 2 small computer using UTP cable. For that you need to prepare the UTP cable and RJ-45 Jack is already installed and the network card in each computer. Normally computers are now equipped with Lan Card on the computer motherboard. If no you can buy it at a computer store along with UTP cable and RJ-45 Jack.
If only connect 2 computers, you do not need a hub or switch. However, the cord is slightly different configuration. If you create a network for 2 computers without using a hub or switch, the configuration used is immune from Cross cable. Conversely, if use traditional a hub or switch, to create a network of more than 2 computers, the configuration of the cable wire used is Straight. Ok I just discussed about how to create a network (Lan) for connecting 2 computers. Beriikut steps:
1. Plug the UTP cable that is configured with a cross cable to the LAN port of your first computer card.
2. If you are using Windows XP, open the Control Panel »Network and Internet Connections» »Network Connections.
3. If menngunakan Windows 7 or Vista, open Control Panel. In the Network and Internet icon, click View Status and Task Networks.
4.next will appear dialogNetworks city and Sharing Center. On the left side of this window, click on Change Adapter Settings
5.Klik Networkd right on your Card and select Properties.

6. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, select Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) in Windows XP or Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) in Windows 7 and Vista. Then click the Properties button.

7.Pada Properties window that appears, select the option Use the followinf IP Address and fill in 192.168.0.1 in the IP Adrees, 255.255.255.0 in Subnetmask. The remaining inputs can you empty.
8. 8. Click OK to save the settings and click the OK button is also on the Local Area Connection Properties
Furthermore, for the second computer can be connected, then the Workgroup of these computers should be the same. For that, give the same workgroup name on the second computer. Do the following:
1. For users of Windows XP, open System Properties by right clicking the My Computer icon and select Properties. You can also press the keyboard combination Win + Break.
2. For users of Windows 7, the same way that is slightly open system properties in a way like on windows XP. In the window that appears click on Change Settings in the Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.
3 In the System Properties window, either Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, click the Change button.
4.Di next window provide a name for the computer 1 with the desired name. Suppose DK-1. And give the name of your workgroup.and the sample Computer World.
5. Click OK and click OK also on the System Properties window.
In order for the new changes you make affect the system, it is necessary to restart the process. For that retart your computer. Do the same steps as above to configure the network card and change the computer name and workgroup on both computers. However, the difference in computer 2, the IP address given is 192.168.0.2. Same Subnet 255.255.255.0. While the computer name must be different. Suppose the given name of the DK-2. However, the workgroup should be the same.
To determine whether the second computer is connected lakukanlanh ping from computer 1 to computer 2 or vice versa. How sebagia follows:
1. Open Command Prompt by pressing the Win + R keyboard
2. In CMD type the command "ping IP address". Ip Addrees filled with computer IP that you want to ping. If you do a ping from computer 1, then filled with an IP address IP 2. Vice versa. Example of ping command from computer 1 to computer 2:
ping 192.168.0.2
3. If the connection between two computers is successful then it will be like this:

Pinging 192.168.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
4. Jika hasilnya seperti ini:
Pinging 192.168.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:

Means that the second computer is not connected. Try to check if the cable is connected properly or there might be a broken cable.
If everything is fine and the ping is good, it means you successfully mengubungkan these 2 computers. At Computer World next article will discuss how to share folders, printers and internet on the second computer. Similarly, a brief tutorial for
This tutorial is far from perfect and probably many mistakes that I made. If there is any among you who are more familiar about the network
