3.3 TCP/IP protocol
The TCP/IP protocol identifies computers by
numbering them according to a system similar
to an international telephone number, known as
an IP address. The number consists of four sets
of digits separated by a full stop, similar to the
way an international telephone number consists
of country prefix + area code + local number +
subscriber number. (The IP address also
comprises a subnet mask which must be identical
for all computers on the same network. Usually
255.255.255.0 is used.)
In order for computers to be able to communicate
they must be on the same local network. In this
example the first three sets of digits must be
identical, and the last set must be unique for
each computer.
Example: The computers have the following IP
addresses (numbers):
1) 10.0.0.1
2) 10.0.0.2
3) 10.0.0.3
All the computers have the subnet mask 255.
255.255.0 and are members of the same
"Workgroup".
These three computers in a network will be able
to communicate as they are all part of the same
local area network and have unique IP addresses.
3.4 Using the Network
When the network is configured and working
correctly, it is possible to access other computers
and their resources, e.g. to read or copy the
contents of hard disks and drives, share printers,
etc.
4 Troubleshooting
If the computers cannot find each other:
• Check that the cables are correctly connected
and that you are using the correct cables.
• Check that the LED on the network card is on.
• Check that the IP addresses are correctly
configured. This is done under the network
settings in the control panel.
