Networking Basics

You may have had some ideas about how to use your new network prior to

installing the DFE-528TX – sharing files, printing from any computer on the

network, or accessing the Internet on multiple computers with one connection. This

section will help you get started on those ideas or even give you some new ones.

However, this section is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to networking, it

is just an outline of a few networking basics.

If you installed your DFE-528TX on computers running Windows 95, you got an

opportunity to give each computer a name during the installation of the network

system software. If you had previously given your Windows 95 computers names or

if you are using Windows 98, you may need to verify that each computer has a

unique name and common workgroup name.
