When developing the latest versions of the Windows operating system (7 and 8), all user comments collected by Microsoft over the years when the famous Windows XP was used on computers, a truly long-lived project, were taken into account.
As a result, the same Windows 7, compared to the "old" XP, became more flexible in configuration (auto-tuning was finalized), which could not but affect the usability of this system. However, questions still arise, and one of them is about how to set up a network on windows 7.
The reasons why some users have difficulty working with the operating system are very different. These may be differences between the interface of the new and old versions, the non-obviousness of some menu items, etc. However, all these difficulties are surmountable, especially if you know how to configure the network in windows 7, rather than looking for the necessary parameters yourself.
For the convenience of users, all the necessary items are placed in a single section - Network Management Center. Something similar happened in Windows XP, however, the solution in the Seven is more successful, since in this system the settings of local networks and the Internet are combined. Such a "trifle" greatly simplifies the work. To remember the location, it is enough to study once the question of how to configure the network.
There are two ways to open the Network Control Center window. In our opinion, the simplest is to use the corresponding icon in the form of a small monitor in the lower right corner of the system tray. By clicking on it with the right mouse button (RMB), you can open the desired window through the menu. Sometimes on the pages of Internet resources that describe how to
configure the network, it is suggested to open a window through the "Start - Control Panel". In both cases, the result is similar, but we proposed is still faster.
In the window that opens, everything is obvious - you need to create (or configure) a new connection. The item is called that. The following is a selection of several options. Usually you need the first one called "Internet Connection". Before telling further how to configure the network, we note that the number of items on different computers may differ - this is normal, since it depends on the connected equipment (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, CDMA modem, etc.). It is important to know which device will be accessed. So, wireless mobile communication modems (GPRS, EDGE, CDMA) require knowledge of the password, login and dialed phone number. The “Their” item is “Switched”. For other options, respectively, the choice will be different.
In any case, after clicking the following window will be opened, where you are prompted to enter the data that the provider provides. It is recommended to check the boxes next to “Display characters” and “Remember password”. The first option will allow you not to make a mistake with the set, and the second one - do not enter the password / login again. It remains to click the "Connect" button. A connection check will be performed and, if everything is normal, then this connection is created and placed in the “Change settings” tab (access from the main window of the Network Control Center). Alternatively, you can activate the checkmark for creating a shortcut on the desktop.
It is worth noting that for wireless connections after checking and reporting an error, you must select "Create Anyway". As you can see, the question of how to set up the network is nothing complicated.
