MODULE

Installation Specifications and Installation Preview

Module Objectives

• Windows 9X networking features• Peer-to-peer case example

– Environment and hardware

• Overview of installation considerations– Hardware and NIC configuration– Driver, protocol and services configuration– Network identification

Windows 9X Networking

• Purpose– Peer-to-Peer networking with Windows 9X

• Connect – Workstations running a client operating

system Windows 9X

• Share– Folders and files on peers– Printer– Fax

WINDOWS 9X Cont.

• Service– Electronic mail

• Access facility– Facilitate remote LAN access

Peer-to-Peer Network:Case Example

Canada Mexico

USGroup: NAFTA

Network Specifications

• Network type– 100BaseTX

• Hardware – Twisted Pair Category 5– Built-in 100/10 mbps card

• Software– Windows95, Windows 98 and

Windows 2000, Windows XP

Installation

• Install raw hardware and raw operating system

• Perform hardware level configuration of the NIC– This is not necessary in the case of

modern NIC

• Configure peer-to-peer networking

Installation of Raw Hardware and Software

• Install network hardware• Install any Windows client OS

– Network card may be automatically installed

– Otherwise, skip the installation of the network card for later operation

Hardware Level Configuration of NIC

• In modern NIC– The resources are automatically

assigned

• Otherwise– Find available IRQ, I/O etc.– Set IRQ, I/O etc. on the NIC– Depending on the card, use jumpers

or software provided by the vendor

Configuring Peer-to-Peer Networking

• Two Step process– Ensure the proper configuration of the

following:• Driver (adapter), protocol and services

configuration

– Network identification• Computer ID• Workgroup ID

Network Driver, Protocol and Services Configuration

• Client• Adapter• Protocol• Services

– File and Print Sharing

Network Identification

• Workstation name– Windows or NetBIOS name– It is customer to keep the windows

name and the TCP/IP name of the computer as the same

• Workgroup or domain name• Purpose is to facilitate LAN access

Initial LAN Hardware and OS Software Installation

Module Objectives

• Initial hardware and software installation overview

• Hardware Installation– NIC, cables and connectors– Network connection

• Software (OS) Installation– Preparation and installation

Initial Installation

• Hardware– Basic physical hardware installation

for linking the devices on a network

• Software– Initial installation of the client

operating system without the networking feature

Hardware: NIC

• Newer network– 10/100 100BaseTX card already built into

the computer

• Older network– SMC Ethernet 16 Ultra– D-Link NE 2000 compatible– Both are 10Base2 ISA cards– Some computers are equipped with SMC

and the others with D-Link

SMC NIC Cards

Black Ring

D-Link NE 2000 NIC Card

Hardware: Cables and Connectors

• Cable– 10Base2 – 5, 10, 15 and 25 feet segments

• Connectors– T-connectors– Terminators

Windows 9X: Preparation for Installation

• Preparation– Format drive c: as a bootable drive using

Windows DOS– Install device driver to recognize CD-ROM

drive as drive d:

• Note– The above steps are not necessary if start-

up diskettes are used to launch the OS installation

– In this case, the OS can be installed directly from the CD

Windows 9X Installation

• Method 1– Install from the CD

• Method 2– Copy the Windows 9X CAB files to the c: drive

and install from the hard drive

• Both methods– Windows 9X will guide through the installation– Skip the installation of the network feature in

the process

Obtaining Resource Values

Module Objectives

• Overview of resource statistics and assignment

• Obtaining resource statistics • Configurable resources for the NIC• Obtaining resource statistics in

Windows 9X• Available resources and resources

in use

Resources to be Set

• IRQ• I/O Address• Base Memory Address

– If present

• DMA Channel– If present

Resource Statistics and Assignment

• Resource statistics for each work station– Obtain– Identify available resources

• Set resources on NIC to match availability– Jumperless cards– Cards with jumpers

Obtaining Resource Statistics

• Windows95 Approach– Using Control Panel

• MS-DOS approach– Run MSD (Microsoft Diagnostics)

• In searching for available resources, one must bear in mind the range of values that could be set on the network card

Configurable Values for a NIC

• IRQ–

• I/O Address–

• Base Memory Address–

and provide a computerdescription.

Select and Install Client for Microsoft

• Done through the Network option under Control Panel

• Install Client for Microsoft Networks

• Automatically launch the installation of the network card

Correct Assignment of NIC Resource Values

• Previous step does not ensure the correct assignment of NIC resource values

• The assignment of correct values must therefore be ensured

• Exception– A fully plug-and-play compatible hardware – The correct assignment of resource values

is possible

Completing the Configuration with File and

Print Sharing

• The previous two steps would have configured the following:– Client for Microsoft Networks– SMC EtherCard Elite 16 Ultra– IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol– NetBEUI

• Completion of Peer-to-Peer configuration– File and Print Sharing service must now be

installed
