Need HELP!!!

[LizardMan]

Hi guys! Recently a friend of mine asked me to install/configure it's internet coffee network. He has in total 7 PC and one of them would be the server ( it will be used to control all others PC-s over LAN ). As I know he has plan to use Windows 7 on these PC-s. I have never done this before and I need some help to do the right configuration. If someone here has done this before or know how it's done, please make a reply to this thread and help me on this! Any tutorial link would be appreciated. Thank you!

I know someone that might help you...

I'd need a bit more info, but I'm assuming you're going to be doing something like this:



Pardon the very rough image, it's done via a tablet I bought for my PC a while back. Just got around to installing it on the new computer and I'm still trying to get used to it

I think it's the easiest way you could have them set up, one as the server, a wired or wireless switch for them to connect to (they have more then six port switches) and have the other computers run all though the switch.

i was hoping that you would have an answer Paul\Hellnoire, i think Alboguy was expecting the same, so this will be one to keep an eye on thank you

Hahaha, I'm doing Database for my major, not Networking, but I'll certainly give it a shot.

I think I'm not too much late . LizardMan use same "workgroup" for all the pc's and same private ip range for all.

Ex ip configure table :-

Router or gateway - 192.168.1.1(gateway to internet for your network)
server - ip - 192.168.1.2 (gateway - 192.168.1.1)
pc 1 - ip - 192.168.1.3 (gateway - 192.168.1.2)
pc 2 - ip - 192.168.1.4 (gateway - 192.168.1.2)
.
.
.
pc 7 - ip - 192.168.1.8 (gateway - 192.168.1.2)

Note: For the pc's the gateway will be 192.168.1.2 because they will connect through it and for the 192.168.1.1 aka server the gateway will be direct 192.168.1.1 or the router address.

For ip set up reference look at here.

Litter change in the picture you don't need wire as it is wireless .

I'm used to wired PCs... hence why I drew it like that. INDRANIL's idea looks like a better one.

Thanks for replying! I will use the Indranil scheme, I think it would work. What about the "control" program that monitors other computers, do you know which is the best. I'm thinking of installing HandyCafe.

LizardMan you can use any VNC client such as RealVNC, UltraVNC also . If you face any problem feel free to post here .
