Wait as the network is set up. As the network is created proceed by clicking the Close button. You will be asked to assign the newly created network a location type. I have made it Public for easy access. Open the Network And Sharing Center again. In the left pane click the Change adapter settings.
The resulting window will have all the networks on your PC listed. Choose the network which you use to connect the Internet. Right click on it and select Properties. A HomeGroup allows you to easily share files, printers and more between computers. I talk more about it in the Advanced Sharing Settings section below. Next to Connections , you can click on the name of the WiFi or Ethernet network to bring up the status info dialog for the current connection.
Here you can see how long you have been connected, the signal quality for WiFi networks, the network speed, etc. You can also disable the connection and diagnose the connection if there is a problem.
For WiFi networks, this screen is useful because you can click on Wireless Properties and then click on the Security tab and view the WiFi password. This is really useful if you have forgotten the WiFi password, but still have a computer that is connected to the network.
The advanced sharing settings dialog is main place for managing how your computer communicates with the rest of the network.
In Windows 7, you have two profiles: Home or Work and Public. Only one profile can be active at a time. All the settings are the same and repeated under each profile.
Network Discovery — This setting is turned on for private networks by default and it means that your computer can be seen by other computers and vice versa. What this means in practice is that when you open Windows Explorer, you might see the name of another computer connected to your network under Network Locations. File and Printer Sharing — This setting will allow others to access shared folders and printers on your computer. I always turn this to Off even on private networks unless I need to use it in a specific situation.
There are so many times when guests come over to my house, connect to the network and then could possibly browse my system. HomeGroup connections — If you really do need to share files and folders, you should just setup a HomeGroup , which is more secure and a lot easier to configure. If you do run into trouble, just read my HomeGroup troubleshooting guide.
Now expand out All Networks if you are using Windows 8 or Windows There are a couple of more settings here. Public Folder Sharing — I recommend turning this off unless you specifically need to share data with another computer.
A very useful feature when you need it, but a big privacy risk otherwise. Media Streaming — This is another option you should keep disabled until you need to use it.
This basically turns your computer into a DLNA server so that you can stream music, movies and pictures to other devices on the network like an Xbox One, etc.
