Review the LAN

Are you on a Local Area Network? There are 5 computers in my LAN, including my Computer, TEACHERV. There are only 3 computers turned on, so that is all I see in the Network.

 

Try it: Is your computer connected to other computers?

 

Go to Start and click on Network. Do you see your own computer? This confirms that the network hardware and network protocols on your computer are correctly installed. Do you see any other computers in the Network? This confirms whether your LAN is working.

 

It is best to test the LAN and make certain that works, before you test your connection to the Internet,  and the whole World Wide Web.
