Networking Your Home Computers Denver CO

Easy Guide on Networking your Home Computers

Let's say you have 3 desktop computers at your home. One in your kid's room, in your home-office and one in your family room. Your idea is to have all these 3 computers connect to the internet. One computer has an internet connection on a DSL or cable modem (this is just a terminology for that little box that you connect from the phoneline or cable port!).

So you want all these 3 computers connect to the internet, share files? print from any of this computer?

Here are your step-by-step guide:

(1) Your DSL or cable internet service already comes with a modem. This is a connection from your phoneline to the modem. And then, you will notice your computer#1's network cable directly connect to this modem called the Ethernet port (or on the USB port).

(2) For the other 2 computers to share internet connection, you must have a router with 4 ports (at least!) --- looks like a telephone ports. There are a lot of router brands, one is Linksys and is my favorite. But as I have said there are a lot of different brands out there!

You must buy a network cable if you don't have one. You can buy it from most electronic store.

(4) Here we go! (considering ofcourse we are networking a Window-based computers-- Windows XP (home & professional) and Windows 2000 and higher)

(5) Connect a network cable on your router (port name: "internet" or "ethernet" - this is usually a separated port from the other 4 ports). The other end of the network cable will directly be connected to the DSL or Cable modem's (port name: "ethernet").

(6) Connect a network cable on each computer that you want to get connected to the internet-- (connect this cable at the back of the computer (port name: ethernet).

(7) The other side of each of this network cable will then be connected on each of the port on the router

(8) Now you are ready to be connected! -- turn on your dsl/cable modem. Make sure all lights are on and solid. Turn on your router.

(9) Then turn on your computer(s) -- make sure the light at the back of the computer is blinking! (this is a good sign that you are connected on the network!)

(10) Then set up your router which is normally you choose the proctocol PPoE and just enter your username and password supplied to you by your internet service provider. Oh! by the way, depending on the router, the admin window of the router is on the manual. It's so easy to find it. Trust me.

(11) If your username and password provided to you by your internet service provider is valid... then you should be connected to the internet!.Go and start browsing the internet!

We handle our IT Services engagements with an obsessive attention to process and planning. This distinguishes our company and provides quality IT Services performance for our Denver clients. We ensure that projects run on-time and within budget by thoroughly planning each project, systematically communicating with the client, tactical and strategic level consulting, and leveraging the depth of our IT Services experience.
Of all Denver IT Services vendors, Mission Critical Systems stands out for consistently delivering quality IT Services because our process, not our talent, controls client experience. Our process was designed with three needs in mind. Clients need to have transparency into the IT Function. Clients need consistent IT Services regardless of which engineer is available, and small and mid-sized businesses still need access to CIO level IT Services in order to make good decisions about IT.
We provide transparency into our IT Services by making our ticketing system accessible to clients. LiveDOC is our proprietary IT Services documenting system. Every project and task is recorded in the system so that the client can see what work has been accomplished and what is yet to be done. Also, if the primary engineer is unavailable for a particular critical maintenance visit, LiveDOC provides the information the replacement engineer will need to get started quickly and efficiently.
We provide consistent IT Services by constantly training and supporting our engineers in best practices and the latest technology. Because we install every server upgrade, every software addition, or every new piece of hardware for every client the same way, all IT Services are delivered on the same high level of quality. Our engineers have depth of experience in every task, our IT Managers can make quality recommendations, and our clients enjoy stable IT Services environments.
Every IT Services client is assigned a Director of IT Services, or DITS for short. This Director is a seasoned IT Professional, who can think strategically about IT problems and provide the best CIO level advice available.
As a Denver IT Services provider, Mission Critical Systems excels. We would be happy to earn your business too.
