Objective
This lab demonstrates how to make a LAN Network.
The demonstration includes :
- To connect 2 PC’s with a cross cable.
- To connect 2 PC’s with a switch using a straight cable.

Procedure
- Make sure that both NICs are installed onto your PC’s.
- Assign IP address to your LAN (NIC) card on both PC’s.
- Check their connectivity by
Configuration
Step 1: Make sure that both NICs are installed onto your PC’s.
Go to Windows Start Button > Settings > Control Panel
Then go to System
Then go to Hardware tab > Device Manager
Expand the SERVER123 (Computer Name) tab > Network Adapters
Note: - If LAN (NIC) card is not installed onto your PC then go to Windows Start Button > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Hardware.
Step 2: Assign IP address to your LAN (NIC) card on both PC’s.
Go to My Network Places, Right Click & take the Properties & open the Network & Dial-up Connections
Choose your LAN card, & take the Properties,
Go to the TCP/IP, & take the Properties
Give the IP Address, & press O.K.
Check the IP Address on the Command Prompt.
D:\>ipconfig
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
Step 3(A): Check their connectivity by PING command.
D:\>ping 10.0.0.2
Pinging 10.0.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.0.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.0.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.0.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 10.0.0.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
Step 3(B): Check their connectivity by Data Sharing.
Type on RUN as: \\10.0.0.2
The following screen will pop-up,
