Microsoft Windows 7 makes LAN sharing unimpeded

Now, two or three computers in the average family are quite common, and some of the branded notebooks may have been upgraded to the latest Windows 7 operating system (hereafter referred to as Win 7). So in this case, how to set up a pure Win 7 system environment or a home LAN in a mixed environment of Win 7 and XP systems, how to set up file sharing? If you have the same questions, please check the methods described in this article in detail, I believe you can solve them. Infrastructure Construction of a home LAN When building a home network, the latest Win 7 system is much simpler and more convenient, thanks to the system's “network discovery” function. At the same time, compared with the XP system, in the Win 7 system, you can also choose different environments such as home network, work network, and public network, and the security is also higher. In addition, from an application perspective, in addition to traditional file sharing, Win 7 also allows sharing support for media files in the form of playlists. Step 1. Unified Workgroup Name To successfully set up a home LAN, all computers on the LAN must have the same workgroup and different computer names. In Win 7, the specific operation is relatively simple, right click on the "computer", select "ldquo; attribute" in the pop-up shortcut menu, and then in the pop-up window "computer name, domain, workgroup settings" Modify the working unit and computer name of the computer. Step 2. Setting up a home network To set up a home network in Win 7, you can open the “Network and Sharing Center” in the Control Panel, click “Select Family Group and Sharing Options & Rarr; Change Advanced Sharing Settings”. “Home and work” and “public” are two LAN environments. Expand the "Home or Work" network, the items that must be selected are as follows. Next, in the "Network & Sharing Center" "View Active Connections", you can select a different network location in the next screen. Master Dong Tip: In Win 7, you can select the “Home Network”, “Work Network” and “Public Network” modes. But the settings here are only two options: "Family and Work" and "Common". It turns out that it has unified the “home network” and “work network”. However, if you choose “Home Network”, you need to set the password. Therefore, in order to share the convenience of access, we recommend that you choose “Work Network” or depending on the situation. The home network settings in XP can be helped by the network installation wizard. Double-click "My Network Places" on the desktop, and then select "Set up a home or small office network" from the pop-up window to start the network installation wizard, and then just follow the wizard prompts.
