3 To change the configuration, you will need to click on Properties and Change your PC name. If you are member of a domain or a workgroup, you can select these. If you do not know the name of an existing domain or workgroup, you can enter any workgroup name (you then become the first member). If later you connect other PCs to the network, you can set the same workgroup name - this will allow these PCs to see each other (if you have installed the NETBIOS protocol). In the next paragraph, you will see how to install a new protocol, and check if it has been correctly installed. To check your network configuration: 1 Click on Start, Select Settings and click on the Control Panel. 2 Double click on Network (and dial up connection). 3 Finally, right-click on Local Area Connection and click on Properties. You should see a window like the one below. The first check box is for Client Microsoft Networks. This allows you to log on and be identified on the network. If you do not have this, click on install and select client. Click on OK, select Client for Microsoft Networks and click on OK. 12
