Basic Computer Networking - THINGS TO CONSIDER

Hi IT People!

I am here to give some things you need to consider especially if your work or you want to do something that is related to computer networking.

1.) If you are trying to ping or connect on a computer and not responding please check the Windows Firewall.
 *It sounds crazy but YES it will help you sometime. Example when you are trying to connect on a computer that host a printer and gives you an error. Simply TURN-OFF the FIREWALL (HOME or WORK and PUBLIC NETWORKS).
2.) Problem when pinging a computer to a local network connection and not responding. *Please check if your network cable is working properly and if you have a Network Tracer Device/Cable Tester it should be working from number 1 to 8.
*If network cable is working and still the computer you want to ping is not responding, please TURN-OFF the WINDOWS FIREWALL.

3.) Assigning IP Address to your computers to a local area network.

*Your IP Address must have the same subnet mask to ping each computer connected on the network.

*Your IP Address must not repeat! It must be one at a time deployment to your workstation.

*Your default gateway is commonly the source of your Internet Connection.

4.) If you are on DHCP setting (Dynamic IP Address) and trying to connect on a computer to your LAN, use FULL COMPUTER NAME to connect on it.

I know that this topic is too short but I am willing to discuss the topic you will email or comment as far as I know it.

Thank you very much!
