6-Installing the home NetWork between two Computer:
Ok people this is whayt you'll have been waithing for,So lets get WORKING :D
A-Buy tow "NIC" cards and fix them in the "PCI" slot NOT the "VGA" slot,So no conflict
in resource may happen.
Install the identifying SoftWare for the "NIC" card form the CD that came with it.
After you finish you schould restart your computer and check that the "NIC" card is
installed propley,By looking in the "Device manger".
B-Fix the cable line in the "NIC" card,have a look at the manual that came with the
"NIC" card.
C-Identifying the NetWork:
Open the PC that you are going to make it a server,Go to "netWork Neighborhood" and right
click on it and chose "Properties",Then Do the next steps:
-From "Access Contrl" make sure that "Sharre level Access Control" is Enabled.
-Go to "Identification" there are 3 empty fields and they are :
*Computer Name: Lest make it "PC1"
*Workgroup: make its name "Home"
-Computer Descripition: you can leave it eempty if you want.
Now in "Configuration" make sure of:
-That "Client for Mircrosoft netWork" is iin the tab of "Primary netWork Logon"
-Click on "Add" then chose "Protocol" formm the list and chose "Add" and the chose
"Microsoft",Another menu appears on the right,Chose "TPC/IP" and click "OK",and restart

Now after you have installed the "TCP/IP" protocol go to the "Configuration" of the
netWork at the window of "The Following netWork Components are installed" click on "TCP/IP"
and chose "Properties" and do the following:
from the "TCP/IP Protocol" that you have opend click on the "IP Address"tab,And active the
"Specify an IP Address",PUt this number in the "IP Address" field : 192.168.0.1
and in the "Subnet Mask" field put this number: 255.255.255.0
P.S: the numbers that you put in the "IP Address" field and in the "Subnet mask" are made
up numbers,Call your ISP and ask him for the numbers that you need to put there.
Now go to the "Wins Configuration" and make sure that "Disable Wins Resoulution" is Active.

======================================
OK,Now open the other computer and repeat the steps of "Installing the Network" execpt for:
A-The Ip address make it :192.168.0.2--> Once again call your ISP For that IP.
B-The Computer name must be different from the other computer,Make it : PC2
C-The computer WorkGroup MUST BE same as the first one,In our case name it "Home".
restart the computer,Now the NetWork should be working as far as file and printer sharing.
All you have to do is test the file sharing ,Share any file on a computer and check to see
if you can see the file that is shared,If YES then you are on the right track,If not then
check all what you did before
======================================
7-Sharing one Internet Line:
Ok,Now the network is ready,All you have to do is setup the Internet line,That can be done
in two ways they are :
A-By using "internet Connection Sharing" i wont explane this in this file,may be in the
next one. ;)
B-By using a "Proxy Server".I will explane using "AnalogX Proxy".
So?! lets get this show runing............
You need to get "AnalogX Proxy" Form : www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm
and install it on both the computers,You Only need to run it on the computer that is
connected to the Internet "PC1".
Now Open the second computer "PC2" and open "Internet Explorer" and click on "Tools"
then "Internet Options" Then Chose "Connection" then "LAN" from there active "Using Proxy
Server" enter these numbers in the "Address" filed :192.168.0.1
that is the IP of the main computer "PC1",And in the "port" field enter this number : 6588
that is the port of "AnalogX",it will be different if you are using another "Proxy Server"
Program.
one last thing,From "internet Options" go to "Connection" and active "Never dial a
connection"
AND WALLA,YOU MADE IT :D
