My Network Places - Win2k Pro Question #5?

Setup: Please tell me what I left out and what more I might do to enhance the experience.





During this experience I somehow became logged into Windows as Administrator and lost part of my desktop including my Internet Service Provider.


Know who you are logged in as right now.


If you become logged in as someone else then:


Start | Log Off... | Are you sure? -%26gt; yes


Log in window appears


Type in the name you want to be logged in as.








1. Install a router


2. Unique Computer Name %26amp; common Workgroup:


Control Panel | System | Network Identification Tab


-


press [Properties]


Enter Computer name


(.) Workgroup:


[ OurWorkGroup ] (or whatever)


-


Press [ Network ID ] ( Network Identification Wizard)


[ Next %26gt;]


(.) This computer is for home use and is not part of a business network


[ Next %26gt;]


(.) Windows always assumes the following user has logged on to this ...


User Name: [Administrator]

First off you lost what you say "part of your desktop" because of exactly what you stated. You became logged on as the Administrator for the machine. However, This would indeed result in the reason nothing was set up for your internet provider, this sort of setting does not carry over in most cases.


Secondly the setup looks fine, but im not sure exactly what you are wanting out of this as you say experience. Be a little more specific on what you are wanting out of it.
Reply:man, why dont you just call router support like and they will walk you thru the setup for free?
Reply:If this is how to setup a home network then Id say you have it but must warn you that you'll need to be alot more specific when dealing with novice users...
