Small Single-Hub <strong>Network</strong>s<br />

Objective:<br />

To learn how to hook up several computers with a hub and share files between them.<br />

Tools and Materials:<br />

(3) Workstations<br />

(1) Hub<br />

(3) Straight-through cables<br />

Lab Design:<br />

1 3 5<br />

NIC NIC NIC<br />

Name: A B C<br />

IP address: 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.5<br />

Mask: 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0<br />

Gateway: none none none<br />

Step-By-Step Instructions:<br />

1. Cable the lab as shown. Each straight-through cable should be connected<br />

from the NIC on the workstation to the respective port on the hub.<br />

2. Set up the IP addresses and masks on each workstation. No gateway number<br />

is needed because no single device acts as a gateway.<br />

3. Ping from A to B. Ping from A to C. Ping from B to A. Ping from B to C. It<br />

should work just fine.<br />

4. Enable file sharing on each computer. Pick something different on each<br />

computer to share…a drive, a folder, or several folders.<br />

5. You should be able to access the files from computer to computer now using<br />

network neighborhood. If you cannot “see” the icon for the other computer<br />

then go out to DOS and try to ping them. If you can ping them then use the<br />

“Find computer option in Windows Explorer” to manually bring them up in<br />

<strong>Network</strong> Neighborhood (gotta love that quirky Microsoft in small networks).<br />
