1 CTEC Lab #7 Windows 7 Peer-to-Peer Networking PART A: WINDOWS 7 PEER TO PEER SETUP Boot into Windows 7 and choose (Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings) the Intel network card. Choose (Double Click) the TCP/IPv4 properties of the Intel card and verify that they are set to the defaults: H:\WORK\2016W\CTEC1767\LABS\LAB07\CTEC WS-LAB7-WIN7P2P.DOCX Page 1 of 8

2 RIght click on the Computer icon on the start menu (or the Desktop, if there is an icon there.) Choose Properties, then "Change settings" and you should see the information displayed: Choose the Computer Name tab (if it's not already selected), then click the "Change..." button. Make a note of the existing computer name and workgroup, so that you can set them back at the end of the lab! H:\WORK\2016W\CTEC1767\LABS\LAB07\CTEC WS-LAB7-WIN7P2P.DOCX Page 2 of 8

3 In the dialog box shown in the figure enter a unique name for each computer. For the workgroup name you must enter the same name on both computers. Be sure to use unique names for your computers and the same name for the workgroup. This is very important. You will be asked to reboot after making this change. Do so. After you reboot, create a new folder named after yourself on the C: drive. RC on this folder, choose Properties and switch to the Sharing tab. Click on Share...". Share with "Everyone", and allow "Read/Write" access. When you click "Share", you will get a confirmation. H:\WORK\2016W\CTEC1767\LABS\LAB07\CTEC WS-LAB7-WIN7P2P.DOCX Page 3 of 8

4 Create a text file within this folder and put a few (nice) words in it. Name the text file after yourself and save it in your shared folder. Under Computer choose Network. You should see your PC and the other PC displayed. DC on the other PC and show the professor when you can read a text file placed into the shared folder.

5 NOTE: You may get a warning that Network Discovery is turned off. To turn it on, click on the warning message. Make sure that both "Turn on network discovery" and "Turn on file and printer sharing" are checked. You may get a warning popup again. You should then be able to view the other workgroup computer(s) and access their shared folders. You should be able to both view files in the folder and copy files to the folder.

6 WHEN YOU ARE DONE THIS PART Demonstrate your shared folders and get checked off on Blackboard. PART B: WINDOWS NETWORKING FROM THE COMMAND-LINE When the PCs in L-17 are connected to the College network (via CIT jack), drive mappings are made via your login script, but only when you use the L17 Applications (frozen) version of Windows 7. However, you can map your drives manually using the Networking (open) Windows 7. Step B0. Setup SKIP IF YOU ARE ALREADY USING THE CIT NETWORK 1. Open a Command Prompt window. Enter the following command: ipconfig /release 2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the CIT network jack. 3. Enter the following command: ipconfig /renew 4. Wait a few seconds you should get a or IP address. Ping to confirm connectivity. Step B1. Network Time Synchronization 1. If you skipped Step 0, open a Command Prompt window. Enter the following commands: (a) net use \\WCFS02 /user:nc\yourbbusername where yourbbusername is your Blackboard (College) username. For example, net use \\WCFS02 /user:nc\jblough1 (b) net time \\WCFS02 /set H:\WORK\2016W\CTEC1767\LABS\LAB07\CTEC WS-LAB7-WIN7P2P.DOCX Page 6 of 8

7 Having synchronized network time will make sure that file timestamps are accurate on both the local hard drive (C:) and on the network drive (H: -- which you don t have, yet.) 2. Verify that the time synchronization you set up in Step 1 worked: net time \\WCFS02 && date /t && time /t The && runs all three commands in succession. The first command shows the current time on the server; the other two show the current date and time on your PC. Step B2. Windows Networking. 1. In the same Command Prompt window, run the following commands to view the available network shares on the server and two map two network drives: net view \\WCFS02 net use h: \\WCFS02\Student\yourBBusername net use s: \\WCFS02\Faculty\LabFiles\CEEP_LAB_FILES\CTEC Verify that you have correctly mapped the shares: net use Your H drive is your College network drive, available in most computer labs (except V11A.) 3. Install either OpenOffice or LibreOffice from S drive. (If installing directly from drive S: does not work, copy the installer to C drive first.) 4. Disconnect from the S drive share. Make sure that S is not your current drive! net use s: /delete H:\WORK\2016W\CTEC1767\LABS\LAB07\CTEC WS-LAB7-WIN7P2P.DOCX Page 7 of 8

8 5. Verify with net use that S drive is no longer in use. 6. Switch to H drive; although we mapped it manually, when you log on to the domain (instead of to "this computer"), it is mapped by automatically. You should see your files (from other courses, for example) on H drive at the moment. WHEN YOU GET TO THIS POINT Demonstrate OpenOffice/LibreOffice, your H drive, and get checked off on Blackboard. 7. Disconnect from the network share and from the server. Again, make sure that H drive is not your current drive. net use h: /delete net use \\WCFS02 /delete Verify with net use that no network resources are in use. PART C: WINDOWS PEER-TO-PEER FROM THE COMMAND-LINE Repeat Part A using the command line. Write down or copy-and-paste the commands you used. WHEN YOU ARE DONE Show your professor the commands and get checked off on Blackboard. While you have your shares set up, you can easily proceed to Lab 8.
