Home Network Set-up

 

If you have more than three PCs at home and want to set them up in a network, then here are a few tips that can ensure a smooth set-up:

• Keep your installation CDs ready
• Check if you have all the current drivers needed by your operating system
• Decide upon unique names for each node or computer in the network that is to be set up
• Think of your workgroup’s name
• Plan how your network will be set up such as where will your printer be kept, the computer arrangements, wireless access points, place for routers and so on
• Think about how will you enhance network security? Through encryption or firewalls etc

Once you are through with such set of questions, you can either seek help from Do-it-Yourself guides or refer to technical experts for assistance. In fact, the latter is considered to be a better option as it nullifies the risk of getting stuck in between settings up your new home network. If you have succeeded in setting up your home network, here could be a few issues that are faced by users:   

Hidden PCs: At times, you could face problems in viewing other PCs on the network. This primarily happens when your workgroup or PC is not uniquely named.

Lost connections: This problem occurs due to incorrect domain name system (DNS) services, router settings etc

Printer issues: If you are sharing a printer in your network, at times your printer may not function properly as either there is a problem with one of the PC’s device driver or the printer itself is malfunctioning due to technical faults.

Low Connection Speed: You may be using a good bandwidth, but you notice a sudden slow down in your Internet speed.
