Access and use the Local Area Connection
Properties dialog box in Windows XP
Professional.
List three software components required by a
network and controlled from the Local Area
Connection Properties dialog box.
Define client and protocol and explain the purpose
of each.
Explain the purpose of the NetBEUI, IPX/SPX,
and TCP/IP protocols.
Change the client, services, and protocol of a local
area network connection in a Windows XP Pro
computer.

Client

A software component that allows your
computer to connect to a specific type of
network.
 Often called a redirector because it can
redirect commands to a remote computer on
the network.
 Each manufacturer of network operating
systems have their own client components.
18
Several Different Network Operating
Systems.
 Microsoft
 Novell
 Unix
 Linux
 Macintosh
19
The Client must match the Network
Operating System

The Client for Microsoft Networks allows
this computer to connect to Microsoft-based
networks.
 The Client Service for Netware Networks
allows the computer to connect to Novell
networks.
20
Protocols

A set of rules or standards used in
communications.
 In order for two computers to successfully
communicate they must use the same
protocol.
 Many different protocols have evolved over
the years.
21
Protocols

TCP/IP
 IPX/SPX
 NetBEUI
22
TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol
 The protocol of the Internet
 The protocol of the Unix
 The default protocol for Windows XP.
23
IPX/SPX

Internetwork Packet Exchange / Sequenced
Packet Exchange
 Developed by Novell.
 Microsoft’s version is called NWLink
IPX/SPX NetBIOS Compatible Transport
Protocol
24
NetBEUI
 NetBIOS
Extended User Interface
 dates back to the mid 1980’s and
Microsoft’s first networking product
called MS-NET.
 Best suited to small peer-to-peer
Microsoft-based networks that do not
access the Internet.
25
Services
 Allows
the computer to share some of
its resources with another computer.
 Resources that can be shared include
files, folders, disk drives, and printers.
26
Services
 QoS
Packet Scheduler
 Service Advertising Protocol (SAP)
 File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks.
27
QoS Packet Scheduler
 Determines
when and how many
packets are handed-off to the network
interface over time.
 Ensures that real-time data, such as
voice or video are delivered through
the LAN before data that is not time
dependent.
28
Service Advertising Protocol (SAP)
 Makes
the process of adding and
removing services dynamic.
 IPX network servers may use SAP to
identify themselves by name and
service type.
 Alerts
the network that their services
are available.
29
File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks.
 Allows
you to share resources on
Windows-based networks.
