Sir, What a wonderful, easy-to-understand, humour-laced, fun-to-learn tutorials you have come up with!! Thank you sooooo very much. I had spent last year well over $15,000 in school loans to learn computer networking, only to end up with ( a smart Oriental ) guy who couldn't speak English well, didn't know how to teach and struggled to put Networking ideas in proper perspective. When I finished school, I still didn't know computer networking well. Didn't understand it conceptually.
I've been watching your videos! I think they're great! I like how they're sectioned with the introduction etc. Clearly explained. Also I really like the review section that you do at the end :D thanks so much for this. I know I'm about 5 years late but thanks again!
But after watching your videos, things clicked right away. Thank you for your kindness and eloquency in explaining things in common language. I wish i only knew about these tutorials then. :( I am going to dig everything you have up here. I hope you do have some Linux tutorials because that's what I would like to be profient with eventually.
Question: If I set up a Windows 7 server computer, and connected 5 computers to it in a small office setting, does the processor and ram speed of the server computer affect how fast data is accessible to other computers on this tiny network? Or does the speed of data transfer depend entirely on the network equipment (cables, routers, etc)?
Very helpful!! thanks Eli... I got a question though... I was helping out my temp agency with their workgroup that someone has set up for them a long time ago. All of the computers could not browse the Network icon in the window explorer as before, why is that? but when I went to go map the drive, it is visible. \\tempagency\documents. One computer is running on XP, the rest are on 7 and 8. Thanks!
okay, so I add all the computers to a workgroup. But how do I designate which computer acts as the "server". I'm trying to share quickbooks among other computers in our office.
Very useful. I also use it to practice my English, so you one more responsability ;-) Just a question: is it really mandatory to use XP Pro or 7 Pro? Is the Home Edition not enough to use Workgroups? Thank you :)
Hi Eli the Computer Guy i'm using win 7 Ultimate on PC and on my laptop i also have external hdd 1 TB connected on my PC and i want to share it with my laptop i created a HomeGroup on my PC i click finish and when i click choose homegroup and sharing options to join the HomeGroup it giving me Change homegroup settings with a "grayed out" save changes and same on my laptop. I never get to join now window. Any help please
You're going to trust all your small bussiness data (that you need to function on a daily basis) to a USD 300 computer?? A file server with No RAID? you're crazy.
i have 2 notebooks. both win8.1. one is like month old, has all updates + few apps. second has only updates installed, nothing else. no changes in settings, all left as it was. if i create homegroup in one of them, the second one can see it, but when i type a password, it says it doesnt recognise home group anymore. if i create home group on the second one, first one cannot even see it at all. great job me and windows :D
I am using all windows 8.1 machines. I have 1 machine which I use as a server that has 1 drive that has 4 folders. I that I want to share with all 3 other machine. And there are 3 folders that I want only each of the other machines to see. When I share these 4 folders with everyone no problem. But when I change a folder to only one machine I cannot access from that machine. Please help. I do this on xp machines with no problem but can't do it on 8.1 machines. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sorry, Eli, but you mean "instinctively", not instinctually. Or maybe you should just say "by force of habit". And hey, just doing this because I've walked out of meetings before and heard people whispering under their breath, "Did he say instinctually? He went to Stanford? What a joke." The unfortunate thing is that in the business world, instead of people telling you to your face that you said something moronic, they just let you keep looking like a moron.

a NAS can also take the place of that central repository/server computer.

I like your thorough explanations. A workgroup is a small peer-to-peer network, right?
