Consider the process of creating a connection to the Internet using a modem (the process of installing a modem is described in Chapter 7, devoted to installing various equipment). Let's assume that you bought an internet card from some provider. On this card, on the reverse side (as a rule) you will find the username (login), password (password) and the phone of the modem pool. These data will be required to establish an Internet connection.
1. To create a connection, go to the Control Panel / Network connections and select Create a new connection in the left part of the window. After that, a new window will appear in which you should click on the Next button.
2. The following window will appear, in which you must select Connect to the Internet and click the Next button.
3. In the next window, select the Set up connection manually item in order to enter the data on the Internet card (Fig. 6.1).
5. After clicking the Next button, a window will appear in which you must enter the name of the service provider. You can enter any information in this field: the name of the provider whose card you bought, or any other word - it does not matter.
Rice. 6.1. Establishing a connection manually
6. At the next step, enter the phone number (modem pool) indicated on the card (Fig. 6.2).
NOTE
If you use pulse dialing, you must put the Latin letter p in front of the phone number. Otherwise, some modems will not dial the phone number.
Rice. 6.2. Entering a phone number
7. After clicking on the Next button, the following window will open, in which you must enter the username (login), password (password) specified on the Internet card you purchased, and repeat the password again in the Confirmation field. We recommend that you uncheck the box next to Turn on a firewall to connect to the Internet. In Chapter 9, we'll look at an alternative program to secure your connection.
8. After clicking on the Next button, a window will open with a message that the modem connection was successfully created. Don't forget to check the box next to Add a connection shortcut to the desktop. This will add a shortcut to the desktop for quick access to the dialer.
Now, to connect to the Internet, just double-click on the shortcut with a modem connection. A dialer window will open where you can change the phone number, username and password used to connect to remote computer(Fig. 6.3).
Rice. 6.3. Dialing window
To start dialing, you must click on the Call button, after which dialing to the provider will begin. If the connection was successful, two monitors will appear in the system panel (Fig. 6.4). To disconnect from the Internet, right-click on them and select Disconnect.
Rice. 6.4. Connection established
Creating a local network connection
Consider the case of connecting to the Internet through a home local area network. There are more and more of these lately, and the tariffs in these networks are often more profitable than those of traditional providers; in addition, you will learn how to establish a connection between two computers - this will be especially useful for those who have several computers at home, and those who often transfer data from one computer to another.
Let's assume that you have already installed a network card and connected to it network cable. If you did everything correctly, then in the control panel, in the Network connections section, the item Connect by local network(Fig. 6.5).
Rice. 6.5. LAN connection
So, you have decided to connect to the Internet through your home local network, you have been allocated an IP address and a proxy server address. What is it and how to use it?
1. Right-click the LAN connection icon and select Properties.
2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
3. A window will open in which you will need to enter the IP address and other parameters given to you to connect to the local network (Fig. 6.6). Before that, check the box Show the icon in the notification area when connected to display the connection status in the system tray (when connected to a local network, there will be two monitors there, as with a modem connection).
When you click on the Advanced button, a few more settings become available, but we will not consider them, as they are designed for an advanced user. Click the OK button and return to the LAN connection properties. On the Authentication tab, you will see several security settings. Feel free to uncheck the box next to Manage network access using IEEE 802.1X.
Rice. b. b. Entering settings for connecting to a local network
If you did everything correctly, then two monitors will appear in the system panel, which indicate a successful connection to the local network. True, to connect to the Internet via a local network, you often also need to enter the proxy server address, but we will talk about this a little later when setting up the program - Internet Explorer.
Now let's imagine that you have two computers at home and you want to connect them to a local network. To do this, we need two computers with network cards. To connect computers directly, you can use a so-called crossover cable. If you have more than three computers at home, you need to use ordinary twisted-pair cables and connect them to a device called a hub (a multiport repeater or hub that serves as a cable system node in networks with tree and star topologies).
ADVICE
Don't be afraid of new terms. At a computer store, salespeople will pick up the right cables for you and crimp them so you can plug them into network cards.
So, you bought a crossover cable, connected one end to the first computer, and the other to the second. Now you need to configure the computers, which we will conditionally call Computer-1 and Computer-2.
1. Go to the properties of the LAN connection on Computer-1, as shown above.
2. In the IP address field, enter the address 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 if it was not set automatically; leave the rest of the columns blank. Then click on the OK button.
3. On the second computer, enter the same data, but instead of the address 192.168.0.1, you must enter the address 192.168.0.2. That is, each computer must have its own IP address and the same subnet mask, this is the main condition for building a local network. Thus, if you are going to connect another computer to the local network, you must specify the address 192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.4, etc. in its settings.
4. In addition, in order to be able to see the list of computers in the network environment, you must set the same workgroup for all computers. To do this, on the Desktop of each computer, right-click on the My Computer shortcut, select Properties from the menu that appears, and go to the Computer Name tab. Here you can enter a description of the computer that will be displayed as a comment for your computer name in Network Neighborhood. To change the group that the computer belongs to, click the Change button.
5. A window will open; in it you need to enter the name of the workgroup, which must be the same for all computers connected to the local network. In addition, you must specify the computer name, which must be unique for each computer. After entering the information, click on the OK button (Fig. 6.7).
Rice. 6.7. Changing the computer name
If you entered the data correctly on all computers, when you launch the Network Neighborhood shortcut on the Desktop and click on the link in the left part of the Show workgroup computers window, a list of all computers that are part of your workgroup will be displayed in the right area of the window (Fig. 6.8).
Rice. 6.8. Workgroup computers
Congratulations, we have connected home computers to a local network.
And now we will learn how to open access to folders on computers. Assume that the first computer has a Cartoons folder that contains cartoons. By opening access to this folder, you can watch cartoons located on the first computer from the second. To do this, on the first computer, right-click on the Cartoons folder and select Sharing and Security. In the window that appears, you can enter the name of the folder that the user will see through the network environment, as well as enter maximum amount connections to this folder, that is, the number of users who can simultaneously be in this folder (Fig. 6.9).
Rice. 6.9. Assignment of access rights
If you did everything correctly, then now, by logging into the network environment from the second computer and double-clicking on the icon of the first computer, you will see the Cartoons folder. You can copy data from this folder, run files, etc. depending on the permissions you set on the first computer for this folder.
As you can see, connecting a computer to a local network and opening folders for sharing takes very little time.

4. In the Address and Port fields, enter the data that were given to you when connecting to the network (in case of connecting via a modem, you can find them on the Internet map). Don't forget to check the box next to Do not use a proxy server for local addresses(Fig. 6.11). If you do not check this box, the network will go through a proxy server, which will affect the performance of the local network.
5. After entering the data, click the OK button.
6. Now let's check the performance of your connection. To do this, in the address bar of the browser, enter the address of a site, for example wvjw.oszone.net, and click the Go button or press the Enter key.

Traveling the World Wide Web
In the first part of this chapter, we created an Internet connection and tested its functionality. And now we will learn how to surf the Internet and solve all the problems that arise in the process of visiting various pages.
For travel we will use Internet program Explorer, which can be launched from the desktop or from the quick launch bar. After starting the program, a blank page will open (if you specified when setting up the program homepage from empty). In the address bar, enter the address of the site you want to go to and press the Enter key. If you entered the correct page address and it exists, the page will start loading in the browser window (Fig. 6.19).
You can expand the program workspace to full screen. To do this, press the key F11(Fig. 6.20). To return to normal view mode, press the key again. F11.
Rice. 6.20. Displaying the page in full screen
If such a page does not exist or is temporarily unavailable, you will see the so-called 404 error (Fig. 6.21). In cases where this error occurs, try to return to the previous page using the Back button on the toolbar or check the entered page address.
If on open page you have found useful links (links to other pages with information), then to open them, click once with the left mouse button; if you want to open this link in a new Internet Explorer window, click on the link while holding down the shift. Or right-click on the link and select from the drop-down menu Open in new window.
When visiting various pages, you will come across various banners (animated images) of an advertising nature (Fig. 6.22). Often they do not carry useful information, but sometimes there are links to useful sites.
Now let's talk about sites from which you can start your visit to the World Wide Web.

Configuring the Outlook Express mail program
With the help of the program Outlook Express you can receive mail on your computer instead of viewing it on the Internet. It is much more convenient as it saves time and traffic. In addition, some providers offer reduced rates for mail only. For the settings, we will need the following data: username, password, POP3 and SMTP server addresses.
1. If you created a mailbox on Mail.ru, then as a username you must enter the mailbox address without ©mail.ru, that is, if you have an address [email protected], enter anton as the username. For the password, enter the password for your mailbox. Specify pop.maiL.ru as the POP3 server, and smtp.maiL.ru as the SMTP server.
2. To start the program, go to the Start/All Programs/Outlook Express menu. A window will open asking you to create account. The first step asks you to enter your first and last name. This data will be substituted in the From line when your friends receive sent mail.
4. After moving to the next window, you must enter the data of the servers for receiving and sending e-mail. In our case, these are pop.maiL.ru and smtp.maiL.ru, respectively (Fig. 6.27).
Rice. 6.27. Mail server addresses
5. The next step is to enter the username and password required for authorization on the servers of incoming and outgoing mail.
The basic account settings are now complete. The main window of the program has appeared in front of you. For convenience, it is recommended to check the box at the bottom of the window When Outlook Express starts, open the Inbox folder.
If you click on the Inbox folder on the left side of the window, you will see a list of messages at the top right (so far there is only one message from the Outlook Express development team), and at the bottom - the text of the message (Fig. 6.28).
Some mail services require the username to be verified before sending the message, so we need to check one box. To do this, on the Tools menu, select Accounts. Select your account with the left mouse button and click on the Properties button.
A new window will open in front of you, in which you need to go to the Servers tab, at the bottom of the page you need to check the User authentication box. This flag is responsible for checking the username before sending mail (Fig. 6.29).
In addition, you can configure various options for displaying letters and receiving mail. To do this, select Tools/Options. You can not edit these parameters, as this does not affect the performance of the pro -

What is spam and how to distinguish it from other emails
Spam - These are letters from unknown recipients that end up in your mailbox without your consent to receive them. If you did not ask to be sent to you given message and did not subscribe to the newsletter on this topic,
did not leave your e-mail address by filling out the form on the Internet, then this is spam. In fact, in most cases, spam is an advertisement of goods and services imposed on you.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to completely avoid spam. However, you can try to reduce the amount of "garbage" you receive if you follow very simple rules:
- never reply to the addresses listed in "junk mail" - your reply will only confirm that your email address is valid;
- for the same reason, never use offers to remove your address from mailing lists - this is a trick for simpletons;
– do not indicate your address “for communication and feedback” on your personal page; if you really need to know what your visitors think, install the Guestbook.
To combat spam, you can use various programs, which we will discuss in Chapter 9. If you receive mail through the web interface of your mail service, then the site often has various anti-spam filters already installed, and most of it immediately ends up in questionable mail. . Therefore, if you are unable to protect yourself from spam, use the web interfaces postal services. However, in this case, you will have to view all the advertising banners that appear when working with mail. So try to decide what is best for you: receive spam or watch advertising banners, but have protection from unwanted emails.

How to change the MAC address
Setting up a Windows 7 network is becoming an increasingly popular issue every year, as the number of users of both the Internet and this operating system. Therefore, sooner or later, everyone faces a dilemma, how the setting is performed windows network 7. As a rule, such a question becomes especially acute when another computer (laptop) appears at home. To properly configure the network, you will have to become a system administrator.
Everything in windows 7 network settings can be set and changed in the "Network and Sharing Center" (hereinafter referred to as NUSiOD). Setting up a windows 7 local network is done here. Even at the stage of installing the operating system, the computer was given a name. This important parameter, because the local network should not contain computers with the same name. Let's see where the network settings are in windows 7.
Network and its types
TsUSiOD can be opened in several ways.
- At the bottom of the screen, by right-clicking on the icon in the form of a computer, we open the context menu in which we find TsUSiOD;
- We press "Start", go to the "Control Panel" (View: "Small Icons") and again we find TsUSiOD.
The first thing you see is a map of your network, the number of active network connections and their type: "Home Network", "Company Network" and "Public Network".
Setting up home, office and domain networks
If you network computers and other devices at home, you can very conveniently use shared folders. A home network can only be created on one computer, and others can join it. Setting up a home network in windows 7 is done like this: click "Start", go to "Control Panel", look for the "Homegroup" parameter, click "Create home group", choose which resources will be shared, set a password for access to the home network. Similarly, you can connect to your home network and change the necessary settings.
Let's see how to set up a network in windows 7 office. To do this, select the type of network environment "Work Network". You can do this in TsUSiOD. Under the name of the active network, click on the type of network and select Enterprise Network. This type allows computers on the network to see each other and allows file and folder sharing, but create a group like " home network"It is impossible, since a higher level of security is provided here. To secure data, the following network setting in the windows 7 office will come in handy. In the CUSiOD on the left, click on the link" Change advanced sharing settings ". In the window that opens, you can enable or disable network discovery and access to shared folders and printers.
Windows 7 domain network is used in enterprises. It is configured by the administrator. You cannot make any changes to the network settings on your computer.
Knowing the type and location of the network in windows 7, as well as how to install and configure it, you can easily combine all home devices into one.
Organization and setup working network windows 7 should still be done by professionals. Gaps in network security can lead to the theft of confidential information and cause irreparable damage to a firm.
