If you have several laptops at home or at work and you need Internet access on each laptop.
And also if you need to provide shared access to folders and files between laptops, then you need to create a local network with Internet access.
With the development of wireless technologies, the most convenient option is to create a local wireless network via Wi-Fi. In this case, all laptops must be equipped with wireless Wi-Fi - adapters.
A local wireless Wi-Fi network can be created in two ways:
1. Infrastructure mode. In this mode, laptops access the Internet and exchange information with each other through a special device - an access point (wireless router).
2. Ad-Hoc mode In this mode, laptops exchange information directly with each other and Internet access is carried out in most cases through the main computer (a computer or laptop connected to the Internet and acting as an Internet gateway).
The best option is to network laptops using infrastructure mode. To do this, you will need to purchase a wireless router. But if buying a router is not yet part of your plans, then you can create a Wi-Fi network directly between laptops (Ad-Hoc). This article will show you how to do this. To make it easier for you to navigate in setting up a Wi-Fi network, I will explain the following definitions:
The main computer of the network is a computer or laptop connected to the Internet and acting as an Internet gateway. A Wi-Fi connection will be created on this computer.
Other computers in the network are computers or laptops connected to the Wi-Fi network created on the main computer and accessing the Internet through this computer.
Setting up a network host
Turn on the Wi-Fi adapter. In the notification area (tray), click on the wireless network connection icon.
Note: if this icon is not displayed, then perhaps it is hidden and to see it you need to click on the arrow. If this icon is not in the notification area, then perhaps your Wi-Fi adapter is turned off programmatically and to enable it you need to go to: Start - Control Panel - Network Connections - double-click on the Wi-Fi wireless connection icon. a driver for a Wi-Fi adapter or this adapter does not exist at all.
On the Wireless & networks tab, click the Add ... button.
In the Network name (SSID): field, enter an arbitrary name for the network.
In the Authentication: field, select Public.
In the Data encryption: field, select WEP.
In the Network key: enter the network password. Password must be 5 or 13 characters long. The more signs the better. It is better to use a password generator to create a password.
In the Confirm key: field, enter the confirmation password.
Check the box This is a direct computer-to-computer connection; access points are not used.
Go to the Connection tab and check the Connect if the network is within range. Click Ok.
Check the Ignore disconnected network equipment checkbox. Click "Next.
Check the box This computer has a direct connection to the Internet. Other computers on the network connect to the Internet through this computer. Click "Next.
Select your internet connection from the list. Click "Next.
Check the box next to your wireless adapter and click Next.
In the Description: field, enter a description of the computer, for example Vasily's Computer.
In the Computer name: field, enter a name for the computer. The computer name must be unique. You cannot specify a computer name that is already in use on the network. Click "Next.
In the Workgroup: field, enter the name of the workgroup. The workgroup name must be the same on all computers on the network. Click "Next.
By default, in all versions of Windows XP except Windows XP Home Edition and in all versions of Windows 7, Vista, the workgroup name is WORKGROUP.
If you will be using file and folder sharing, check Enable file and printer sharing and click Next.
Wait a little...
Check the box Just complete the wizard, there is no need to run it on other computers. Click "Next.
Click the Finish button.
The network host is configured.
Configuring other computers on the network
Turn on the wireless adapter. Click Start - then right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties. Click the Computer Name tab.
In the Description field, enter a description of the computer, for example, Fedor's computer. Click the Change ... button.
In the Computer name: field, enter a name for the computer. The computer name must be unique. You cannot specify a computer name that is already in use on the network.
In the workgroup field: specify the name of the workgroup. The workgroup name must be the same on all computers on the network. Click Ok. Next, a reboot is required. If the computer name and workgroup name do not need to be changed, simply click Cancel.
Note: By default, in all versions of Windows XP except Windows XP Home Edition and in all versions of Windows7, Vista, the workgroup name is WORKGROUP.
Click on the wireless network connection icon.
Note: If this icon is not displayed, then perhaps it is hidden and to see it you need to click on the arrow. If this icon is not in the notification area, then perhaps your Wi-Fi adapter is turned off programmatically and to turn it on you need to go to Start - Control Panel - Network Connections and double-click on the Wi-Fi wireless connection icon. It may also happen that you do not have a driver installed on the Wi-Fi adapter, or this adapter does not exist at all.
Go to the General tab. Double click on the line Internet Protocol (TCP / IP).
Check the Use the following IP address box:
In the IP address field, assign an IP address to the wireless adapter. The IP address must be unique and from the same subnet as the IP address of the host computer's wireless adapter. The network should not contain devices with the same IP. Since the IP address of 192.168.0.1 is assigned to the wireless Wi-Fi adapter on the host computer, the IP addresses on other computers on the network must be 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, etc.
Important: If the main computer of the network is running Windows 7, then its wireless adapter is assigned an IP address 192.168.137.1, so on other computers on the network you need to specify the IP addresses: 192.168.137.2, 192.168.137.3, etc.
In the Subnet mask: field, enter the value 255.255.255.0.
In the Default gateway: field, enter the IP address of the host computer - 192.168.0.1.
Important: If the main computer of the network is running Windows 7, then the IP address of the default gateway must be specified as 192.168.137.1
In the Preferred DNS server: field, enter the IP address of the provider's preferred DNS server.
In the Alternate DNS server: field, enter the IP address of the provider's alternate DNS server.
DNS server addresses can be obtained from your provider.
Click Ok.
Click the wireless icon.
Double click on your wireless network.
Enter your password and click the Connect button.
Everything. We set up a Wi-Fi computer-to-computer wireless network in Windows XP.
Setting up a wireless network in Windows XP is much easier than in previous versions. To create a wireless network in Windows XP, you must first go to the “Network Neighborhood” menu, and then select “Create a small office wireless network or home network” in it, after which the network setup wizard will start.
The next screen will ask us to enter the SSID name, which will be the same for the entire network. Also in it we will be asked to select the type of encryption keys and the encryption method itself (WPA or WEP). It should be noted that WEP protection is not very reliable. And if there is a possibility, it is better to use WPA encryption (of course, if the driver and adapter support it).
You can use your own encryption keys or assign them automatically. If you have selected your own, a window for entering them will open. 
After all the necessary parameters have been assigned, the installation wizard will proceed to the next step. And it will ask you to choose a way to create a network (create a network manually, or use a Flash-keychain).
The first method will give you the ability to seamlessly transfer the configuration to other computers on the wireless network. In this case, you only need to configure the configuration once. If other computers on the network do not support reading information from Flash drives, then you will have to enter it manually.
After you connect the Flash drive to another computer with Windows XP, you will be prompted to add it to your wireless network. If the prompt does not appear, you need to manually run the “setupSNK.exe” file. After you visit all the necessary computers, insert it again into the first computer, thereby completing the wireless network configuration in Windows XP.
Connecting to a Windows XP Wireless Network
After you have done all that is written above, there is still a direct connection to the Windows XP wireless network. For a full-fledged work, you need to enter more IP addresses in each computer. For this purpose, you should select the network 192.168.x.y where x is the starting address of your network (0-255). And y is the number of a specific computer on the network (1-254). In your network, all IPs must have the same network number and different computer numbers. The IP address is set in the properties of the network connection. After you go there, select the "Internet protocol TCP \ IP" item and click the "properties" button. In the window that opens, enter the required addresses.
To check the health of your network, we will use the command line and the PING command. To open the command line, press the keyboard shortcuts Windows + R and enter “CMD” into it. In the window that opens, enter the Ping command and the address of the computer on the network (for example, 192.168.0.2).
Modern technologies allow you to connect to local and global networks without using an Internet cable. The most popular and modern wireless technology is WiFi. What is it and how to set up WiFi on Windows XP? This will be discussed further.
First, a little theory about what a WiFi connection is and what home networks are.
What is WiFi
This is a mobile communication technology that allows you to combine computers, laptops, smartphones and other devices equipped with a WiFi module in groups for information exchange, remote control, communication and so on. It has many advantages, among which the following can be distinguished:
- Easy setup of equipment;
- Low cost of technology and equipment;
- Availability;
- A fairly large range - in open areas up to 100 meters, in buildings - about 10 meters;
- Possibility of simultaneous connection of up to 100 users;
- Support for various operating systems, including Windows XP;
- High speed data transfer.
WiFi Technology Description: Video
Types of home networks
To begin with, it should be clarified that, in general, computer networks are subdivided into several types and differ in their scale - from a private group to the global "web", entangling 80% of all computers in the world. In this case, we will focus specifically on private home groups - how to organize them and what they are like. At the same time, speaking about a home group, it should be understood that we are talking about a local network that unites several computers and mobile devices of one owner, or about a local office group.
So, home networks can be of two types:
- Local without Internet access;
- Local, with the ability to connect to the global network.
In both cases, setting up a WiFi connection on a computer with the Windows XP operating system is carried out in the same way. At the same time, in order for the group members to be able to access the Internet, it is necessary to configure the router. But this has nothing to do with the PC operating system.
Setting up the operating system
So, here we come to the question of how to set up WiFi on a Windows XP computer. Do not be alarmed, as there is nothing difficult here. The main thing is not to rush and do everything in order. Let's walk through the setup process. First of all, you need to install the software - the driver.
Driver Installation
Modern laptops are initially equipped with a WiFi module. But in order to enable it and at the same time it worked correctly, you need to install the appropriate driver.
As a rule, when purchasing a module, the device comes with a disk containing all the necessary programs. Moreover, in the installation menu there is a "Quick Installation" item, which installs all the necessary drivers and utilities for more convenient use. In this case, the device is configured automatically.
But what if there is no such disk or it is lost? In addition, the drivers may simply be out of date. In such cases, you need to find out the type of WiFi adapter - model and name. After that, downloading the wi-fi driver will not be difficult.
If we talk about laptops, then everything is even simpler here. To find the software you need, you need to know the laptop model. Then we go to the official website of the manufacturer and look for the desired model. There you will find not only the driver for the WiFi adapter, but also all the necessary software. It is worth remembering that you need software for Windows XP, so from the proposed options we choose exactly what you need. After installing the driver, the adapter can be turned on, after which you will see all available access points.
This is not the end of the WiFi connection setup in Windows XP. After installing the drivers, you need to configure and enable the wireless connection itself.
How to set up WiFi connection in Windows XP: Video
Connection setup
It should be noted right away that adapter tuning is not required in modern laptops. When you turn it on, everything will be detected automatically, you just have to select the desired network from the list. In this case, to connect, you only need to know the network password, if it is not there, then just click "connect" and that's it, you are already connected.
In the connection settings in Windows XP, you need to enter the IP address the computer receives automatically. Of course, the connection can work on the default settings, you just need to turn on the adapter and select the desired network. However, setting up a WiFi connection on a Windows XP PC will make the connection more stable.
So how do you set up a WiFi connection on a Windows XP computer? As mentioned above, such a connection requires a router that has the appropriate settings. We only need to know the network key (if installed) and the group name.
How to find out the password for your WiFi connection in the router parameters: Video
If the network does not work when connecting to the router, then you need to configure the connection. In order to fix this in the start menu, you need to find and run "Network Neighborhood". Next, you should open "Network Connections". Here you will see different types of networks, we need a shortcut "Wireless Network Connection".
When you click on the shortcut with the right mouse button, select "Properties". Next, in the window that appears, you need to find the item "Internet Protocol (TCPIP)". Select it by clicking the left mouse button. Then click the "Properties" button. In the window that appears, you need to set the checkbox to "Use the following IP address". Next, you need to enter the following parameters:
- IP address: 192.168.0.3;
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0;
- Default gateway: 192.168.0.1.
After that, we return to the network environment and click "Display available connections". Here you need to find and launch "Wireless Network Connection". In the window that appears, click on "Refresh network list". In the list that appears, select your network and click "Connect". If a password is set, a table will appear in which you need to enter it, and then click "Connect".
How to enable WiFi module on a computer
Very often, users ask the question of how to enable the WiFi adapter on a computer with Windows XP? This is a very pertinent question. If we talk about laptops, then it does not matter which operating system is installed, be it Windows XP or newer versions of the OS.
The fact is that the laptop has a special button to turn on the adapter. However, remember, as mentioned above, to enable it, you need to install the appropriate driver. If the software is installed, then there should be no difficulties. The main thing is to find the coveted button.
It's even easier with a desktop computer. An external USB adapter is always on. Moreover, the adapter configuration is completed after the driver is installed. This means that in order to turn it on, you need to start the computer. Not everyone knows this. In this case, as a rule, the adapter itself does not have any switching sensors, which is why it is not clear whether it works or not. Its operation can be traced in Windows XP in the lower right corner, where the WiFi adapter icon is located.
If we talk about how to enable WiFi connection on Windows XP, then everything is elementary here. After turning on the adapter (on a laptop), select the desired access point (by group name) and click "Connect". After that, if a password is set, the system will ask you to enter it, after which you will connect to the network.
On a Windows XP computer, you need to click on the adapter icon in the lower right corner or find a shortcut on the desktop. At startup, a window will appear in which you should click the "Refresh network list" button. Next, you will be offered a list of available networks, from which you need to select the one you need and click the "Connect" button.
This completes the wireless configuration on the Windows XP computer, and you are a member of the computer group.

Hello to all blog readers. The heading above, this is the topic for today, since many more use this system, and I think it will be useful to many users.
Wireless technologies have become part of our life with the acquisition of smartphones, tablets, laptops. Most modern devices already come with established Wi-Fi module, this applies to most laptops, netbooks, tablets and smartphones.
However, if you have an old computer, then it can also be connected to Wi - Fi. There is a special device for it: Wi-Fi adapter... And of course on your PC
still there must be at least one USB slot... Sooner or later every gadget owner is faced with the question of how to set up WI - FI in Windows XP.
Wi-Fi equipment
To connect to the Internet with the subsequent organization of a Wi - Fi network, you will need
router or router. It should be noted that router and router- it two
names of the same device... It is only used if already
there is a ready-made Internet connection via a modem.
Modem and router- two different devices with different functions.
Modem designed to convert a signal that is transmitted over a wired or
3G network, in an understandable system.
Router designed to transmit the decoded signal to other network members
no conversion. In this way, without modem operating system network signal
Windows XP device will not be recognized.
Now the line between a modem and a router is gradually blurring. Many manufacturers
both devices are combined in one housing. Such a device allows you to create
wired LAN for 4-5 computers (depending on the number of ports in the model) and in parallel organize a wireless connection.
When choosing a router model, first of all, pay attention to way connecting to
the internet.
There are three types of WAN ports for connecting to the Internet:
1. ADSL designed to connect the internet via telephone line
2. USB 3G used to connect USB modem
3. Ethernet designed to connect network cable
If you plan to connect third-party devices to the wireless network,
you must select a machine that supports data encryption. In this case, in
settings modem (router) all allowed IP addresses to connect.
Configuring the router
Configuring the router and the type of WEB - interface of different models can be
differ. The principle of adjustment and the sequence of actions are preserved.
Previously, the router must be connected to the Internet through the port
WAN and whether USB 3G and to the computer via the port LAN.
How to set up a network on Windows XP:
1.
Go to Start → Control Panel → Network Connections →
LAN connection.
2. In the window that appears, select " Properties»,
then, with the right mouse button, select “ Internet Protocol TCP / IP"And click" Properties».
3. In the window that appears, check the boxes “ Obtain an IP address automatically" and
"Obtain DNS server address automatically" and confirm OK.
How to configure TCP / IP configuration settings for Windows XP read
If Wi-Fi does not work on Windows XP
Important! Windows with different service packs support different security protocols!
Windows XP SP2 does not support security protocol WPA2! Only WPA1.
Thus, if a problem arises when connecting, you need to look version
Windows XP, as well as security protocol that the access point is using.
If your computer does not have " Wireless network connection " reason may
be as follows:
1.
You Windows XP SP2, and the access point is configured for security protocol WPA2... Is it necessary or
install SP3 or reconfigure the access point to WPA.
2.
On your computer at all NoWi-Fi adapter... You can find out through Dispatcher
devices... The list of devices must have a wireless LAN card.
3.
On your computer Wi-Fi adapter is, but he disabled... For example, many
Laptops have shutdown buttons Wi-Fi adapter. It can be a separate button or
one of the buttons F in combination with a button Fn. If Wi-Fi the adapter is built into the motherboard
fee, it can be disabled in BIOS.
4.
Adapter present, but not installed driver on him, in this case he will be on the list
devices as unidentified device.
If " Wireless network connection " is, it shows list of networks,
but can't connect to the desired network, then the reason may be that:
a. Too much weak signal between your adapter and the access point.
Long distance, thick walls, etc. Moreover, the signal strength of the access point
may be decent, but your adapter signal does not "reach" to the point
access. Because the signal of the adapter is generally weaker than the signal
access points. Especially if the adapter is built-in, such as in a laptop.
b. You entered wrong password. This is especially relevant for Windws XP because,
what is there it is forbidden see password symbols.
v. If the connection to the access point is established, but the Internet does not work, then
reasons may be:
-
Wi-Fi router(access point) not connected to the internet... For example, a technical failure at
provider, or lack of funds in your account with the provider.
- The technical error in the work of servers DNS from the provider.
5.
If the Internet does not appear, the addresses are registered manually, for this they rearrange
a check mark on the line “ Use the following address ".
Required addresses IP and DNS servers can be checked with the technical support service of the provider.
6
... To make settings router necessary for the device is turned on in the browser
to dial IP - address of the router. IP address the router is indicated on the back panel.
7.
Further in the appeared window to introduce login and password... If the device was purchased
directly from the provider, the login and password are registered in the contract.
If the router was purchased independently, the login and password are indicated
by the manufacturer in the documents, not all devices have a login and password
on the sticker. Factory login and password are recommended change, to avoid
unauthorized access to network settings.
8
... The main menu opens: WEB - interface models.
For the convenience of the user, some models provide for a change of language in
the upper right corner into Russian. Next, you need to configure the parameters PPPoE,
they are configured once during the initial configuration of the device
How to configure a router in Windows XP for example
D models - Link DIR - 320.
In the main menu on the top panel, the buttons “ SETUP" and " INTERNET SETUP ".
On the updated page, click “ Manual Connection Setup ".
In a new window, register the necessary network settings:
1
.My internet connection is- select protocol PPPoE(Username / password);
2. Dynamic PPPoE- choose from the list;
3
.User Name–login for Internet access specified in treaty provider;
4. Password– password for Internet access specified in the provider's agreement;
5
. Service Name- title provider;
6. RetypePassword- again password for Internet access.
The settings must be saved using the " SAVE SETTINGS " then reboot
router using the " REBOOT”For the entered parameters to take effect.
In some cases, the provider uses the protocol DHCP instead of PPPoE, That's why
the type of protocol must be checked with the provider.
For settings Wi-Fi n It is necessary to select in the menu " SYSTEM " → « WIRELESS SETUP ",
then at the bottom of the window select "MANUAL WIRELESS CONNECTION SETUP».
In the window that appears, select or enter the following parameters:
1. Wi - Fi protected setup (WCN2.0) – disable
2
.Enable Wireless - enable
3. Wireless Network Name (SSID) - the invented name of the wireless network
For example Wi - Fi_HOME
4. Enable Auto Channel Selection - enable
5. WMM Enable - disable
6. Enable Hidden Wireless - disable
7. Security Mode - select WPA / WPA2, which will allow encryption of the network;
8. Cipher type - TKIP
9. PSK / EAP - PSK
10. Network key- invented key to access the wireless network (minimum 8
characters in English letters and numbers).
Save settings using the button " SAVE SETTINGS " then reload
router button "REBOOT" for the settings to take effect.
Connecting devices via Wi - Fi
When connecting devices wirelessly uncomfortable enter every time
login and password if the same gadgets are used to connect.
In order to connect devices in Windows XP performed automatically,
but at the same time for third-party users Wi-Fi access was closed, it follows in the settings of the router limit access on MAC - addresses for these devices in this way:
1.
Enter settings router via browser as previously described.
2.
Enter the menu « Advanced", Select the item "MAC Filter».
3.
A table will open, in which you need to enter all those available for connection.
4.
Save data and reboot the device.
How to determine MAC addresses connected devices?
For PC with Windows XP you need to call the command line, register in the menu
Start - Run: command - cmd.
In the command line that appears, enter the command
ipconfig and press Enter.
In line IP Address:- sought MAC address devices.
How to distribute Wi - Fi using a computer to other devices?
Previously, we looked at how to set up a router and connect to Wi-Fi on a PC with OS Windows XP. You can organize Wi-Fi network via PC by making it a dispensing device.
Most often, this method of organizing a network is used when it is necessary to restrict access to the Internet for a second device. If the distributor PC is off, network transmission
not produced. This transmission has a limited range and is not available for
transmission network from Windows XP to devices with Android OS and does not work in the absence
built Wi - Fi module.
To configure the network in this way, you need to enter the section for an already connected network

We configure the parameters in the same way. Windows XP on the the receiving PC.
Only in the column " Use the following IP address»Set the address to the receiving device: replace only the last digit of the address in the interval from 2
before 254.
In the column " Preferred DNS Server»Set parameters host PC: 192.168.0.1.
Save changes by clicking OK.
Wi-Fi security
Since when using Wi-Fi all information is transmitted over the radio wave it does
Wi-Fi networks are much more vulnerable than wired networks. The fact is that the radio signals sent by the access point ( Wi-Fi router) and devices that are connected to the access point are available for interception by any similar device that is within the "audible" radius of the access point or from the client of this access point. That is, intercepting network traffic becomes very simple, affordable and invisible. And intercepting network traffic allows you to collect information necessary to attack Wi-Fi net. As more access points grow, Wi-Fi the number of applicants is also increasing "hack" Wi-Fi net.
The most common motivation for hacking access points Wi - Fi, it connection to The Internet across Wi-Fi is free... For example, you have installed in your apartment Wi-Fi a router and not only your devices are connected to it, but also the computer of one of your neighbors.
You pay for the Internet, and your neighbor gets the Internet for free.
But " free Internet " not the only reason why networks are "hacked" Wi-Fi... The fact is that if an attacker gains access to your access point, through it he can gain access to all devices that are connected to your Wi-Fi router. And this gives him the opportunity to steal your personal data. For example, passwords to mail, to Internet - banks, your documents - in general, to many things that you own.
Therefore, use Wi-Fi you need to be careful.
Here are some rules to follow.
1.
Do not connect to open public networksWi-Fi
through a laptop on which
you hold valuable information. And if you need Internet access
through open networks Wi-Fi then use on your laptop
firewall and antivirus.
2.
If you are using routerWi-Fi at home or in the office, it is necessary
configure correctly Wi-Fi router
a. Use protection type WPA2
b. If on your Wi-Fi router there is a function WPS you need her disable
.
G. If your Wi-Fi router supports administration function via web interface,
need to disable access to this interface via Wi-Fi.
Wi-fi web interface router must be available only through a network cable.
e. Turn off your router Wi-Fi while you are not using the Internet - at night
or when you leave your home or office. If the access point works around the clock
this makes it easier for the attacker - he has a lot of time to carry out attacks
to your access point
