Network
• Group of computers and other devices
connected by some type of transmission
media (cables, fiber, or wireless)
• Networks enable users to share devices,
software, and information (data); collectively
called a network’s resources
• Two basic types:
– Local Area Network (LAN)
– Wide Area Network (WAN)

Networks
• A LAN is a network of computers and
other devices confined to relatively small
space. The two subtypes are peer-to-
peer and client/server
• A WAN is a network that spans large
distance and connects two or more LANs
– The Internet is an example of a very
intricate and extensive WAN that spans the
globe

Peer-to-Peer Network
A small number of computers communicate on
single segment of cable and share each other’s
data and devices. Inexpensive and easy to setup.

Client/Server
• Special computers (known as servers) process
data for and facilitate communication
between other computers on the network
(known as clients)
• Networking model in which clients use
central server to share applications, devices,
and data
• Clients request resources
• Servers provide resources

Client/Server Advantages
• Centralized Administration:
– Only requires one user login account and password
– Access to multiple shared resources is better
controlled
• Better security
• Servers are optimized to handle heavy
processing loads
• Servers can connect more many more computers

10
Logging On
• Press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>
• Enter user name, password, and domain
MCT260-Operating Systems I
11
Logging Off
• Why log off?
– To secure your computer from unauthorized
access
– You share the same computer with another user
– To gain administrative rights to a shared folder
or printer
• Use Start > Log Off > Really Log Off
• Occasionally you have to use Shut Down then
select Log Off UserName (Table 6-2 on Page
177)

12
Shutting Down
• Shutting down gives Windows a chance to save
information in the computer’s memory to the
local disk, cleaning up temporary files, and save
changes to the Registry and to your profile.
• Use Start > Shut Down > OK then turn off the
computer when it says it safe to do so.
• See Table 6-2 on Page 177

13
Browsing the Network
• Makes it easy to look for resources on the
network but isn’t foolproof. Sometimes it
appears that the resource isn’t available
when it can still be accessed by mapping.
• Select My Network Places, click Entire
network, Microsoft Network, the domain,
the server, and then the shared resource
(folder or printer)
MCT260-Operating Systems I
14
Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
• Network resources on a Microsoft network
have a common naming convention which is
called the UNC .
• The UNC consists of two main parts:
ServerName and ShareName.
• The UNC is seen in the form of:
\\servername\sharename
MCT260-Operating Systems I
15
UNC Examples
• The ServerName can be the server name,
the fully qualified domain name, or the IP
address. These are all the same server.
\\cotweb3\schedules
\\cotweb3.mccneb.edu\ schedules
\\10.5.1.234\ schedules

16
Temporary Connection To A Resource
• Click the Start button and select Run from the
Start menu.
• Type the UNC in the Run dialog box.
• The resource should open, if you are logged in
as someone without permissions for the resource
you will receive a "challenge box" that allows
you to input your correct domain\username.

17
Challenge Box
Note that the user name
Includes the domain
name also.
DomainName\UserName
It’s not a good idea to
check the “remember my
password” check box

18
Mapping a Resource
• Used if you frequently access a specific network
folder.
• To map a network folder, you assign it a drive
letter, like (J:), so that it appears as a drive in
My Computer, Windows Explorer, and in your
programs Open and Save dialog boxes.
• Much faster than having to browse through the
network again and again to find it.
• Use My Network Places, My Computer, CLI, or
Windows Explorer to map a drive.

19
Mapping a Resource
Use the Tools menu in Explorer/My Computer
or right-click My Computer or My Network
Places & select “Map Network Drive”

NET Commands
• NET CONFIG, NET DIAG, NET HELP, NET
INIT, NET LOGOFF, NET LOGON, NET
PASSWORD, NET PRINT, NET START, NET
STOP, NET TIME, NET USE, NET VER, and
NET VIEW
• To display this list with a description of each
command, type NET HELP.
• To get help with a individual command type
NET HELP <Command> or NET HELP VIEW

22
NET USE (CLI Map Command)
• Connects (Maps) or disconnects your computer
from a shared resource or displays information
about your connections.
• NET USE Drive: \\ServerName\ShareName
• NET USE Z: \\SRP6\Students
