Accessing the Internet To access the Internet from your computer: 1 Make sure that the router or access point is turned on. 2 Open Internet Explorer and browse the Internet. Sharing your resources Sharing drives and printers With a network, you can share drives (for example hard drives, diskette drives, and CD or DVD drives) and printers among the computers connected to the network. After the drives and printers on each network computer are shared, you can access them as though they were attached directly to your computer. Then you can: ■ View a network drive ■ Open and copy files stored on other network computers ■ Print documents on network printers Important To share a printer among the network computers, each computer must have the shared printer's drivers installed. Follow the instructions included with your printer to install the printer drivers on each computer. Sharing drives or folders If you want to share a drive or folder, use the following instructions. To share drives or folders: 1 Make sure that each computer on your network has Windows file and printer sharing turned on by following the steps in "Sharing drives or folders" on page 109. 2 In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the drive or folder that you want to share, then click Sharing and Security. The folder properties dialog box opens. If you share a drive, the entire contents of that drive will be available to everyone on your network. If you share a folder, only the contents of that folder will be available to everyone on the network. www.gateway.com 109
