Establishing connection with 3 different computers

Establishing connection with 3 different computers

If you're not a computer technician you will surely have problems after installing it. But anyway, here's the idea. You must have:

1. RJ45 cable
2. RJ11 connector
3. Crimping tool
4. Router
5. Hub

Place the router and the hub in a fixed place. If the hub requires mounting on the wall, then mount it so the connections won't be touched.

Cut the RJ45 cable to the right length for every computer to reach the hub. Cut the outer covering of the cable to expose the colored wires inside.

Place the RJ11 connector at both ends of the cable. But be sure that both ends has the same arrangement in the sequence of colors. If the 1st wire is colored red, the next orange, the next blue, and so on, this should also be the sequence of colors on the other end, 1st wire is colored red, the next orange, the next blue, and so on.

Use the crimping tool to press the RJ11 connector to the colored wire.

Then connect the cable to the network port of the computer and the other end to one of the slots in the hub. Do this on every computer.

If all the computers are already wired to the hub, cut another cable that will connect the hub to the router.

Then assign an individual IP address on each computer.

1. Click START
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Network and Internet Connections
4. Click Network Connections
5. Right-click on the available Local Area Connection, then choose Properties
6. In the General tab, under "This connection uses the following items:", click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click again on Properties
7. Click on the Use the following IP address: button
8. On the IP address: input a unique IP address. For example, 192.168.11.15 (This should be different on every computer)
9. On the Subnet mask: input 255.255.255.0 (The same on every computer)
10. Click OK when done

Then try browsing the network if the connection already works. You should see now other computers.
