1. Joining a Windows Domain Network

If your computer is to be part of a domain network run by a version of Windows Server, it has to be “joined” to the domain so that Windows will delegate its security functions to the network. Your network administrator should take care of this for you. If you have to do it yourself, you will need four pieces of information:

• The name to be given to your computer.

• The domain name for your network.

• Your domain logon name and password.

• Any specific configuration information for the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). In most cases, it is not necessary to make any changes in the default settings.

Use the following procedure to make your computer a member of your network domain:

1. Log on to Windows with a Computer Administrator account.

2. Right-click the very bottom-left corner of the screen and select System. In the Computer Name, Domain, and Workgroup settings section, click Change Settings. Then, click the Network ID button.

3. Select This Computer Is Part of a Business Network; I Use It to Connect to Other Computers at Work, and then click Next. Select My Company Uses a Network with a Domain, and then click Next twice.

4. Enter the network login name, password, and network domain name supplied by your network administrator. Then click Next.

5. If the network administrator prepared the domain to accept your computer, a box will pop up saying “An account for this computer has been found....” Click Yes.

6. You will be prompted for the credentials for an account that has domain administrator privileges. An administrator may have to assist you here.

7. The next prompt asks, “Do you want to enable a domain user account to this computer?” You have two choices:

• If you want your domain account to be able to manage hardware, software, and files on your own computer, select Add the Following Domain User Account and then enter your domain logon name and domain name. Click Next. Select Administrator and then click Next.

• If you want to manage your computer using your original “local” account, select Do Not Add a Domain User Account, and then click Next.

8. Click Finish. Click OK to close the System Properties dialog and then click Restart Now.

When your computer has been joined to the domain and restarted, the login process may be slightly changed. If the Welcome screen says Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Sign In, type this key combination. (Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys, press the Del key, and then release all of the keys.)


Note

If your computer is disconnected from the network or you want to install new hardware, you can still log on using a local account. At the Welcome screen, select the icon for your original local account, or click the left arrow and select Other User.


The first time you sign in, the icon for your original non-domain (“local”) account will still appear. If an icon for your domain account does not appear, click the left arrow and select Other User. Then, enter the username and password for your domain account.

2. Bridging Two Network Types

A Windows 8 computer can connect or bridge two different network types through software, letting the devices on both networks communicate with each other. This can eliminate the need to buy a hardware device to connect two disparate networks (although it only works when your Windows 8 computer is turned on). Figure 1 shows an example of what bridging can do. In the figure, one Windows 8 computer serves as a bridge between an Ethernet LAN and a phoneline LAN.

Figure 1. Bridging a phoneline and Ethernet network with Windows 8. Computers on either network can communicate as if they were directly connected.

Bridging is similar to routing, but it’s more appropriate for small LANs because it’s easier to configure and doesn’t require different sets of IP addresses on each network segment. Technically, bridging occurs at the physical level of the network protocol stack. Windows forwards network traffic, including broadcasts and packets of all protocol types received on either adapter, to the other. In effect, it creates one larger network.

To enable bridging in your Windows 8 computer, install and configure two or more network adapters. However, don’t worry about setting up the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) parameters for either of the adapters yet. Then do the following:

1. Go to the Desktop screen. At the right end of the taskbar, right-click the network icon and select Open Network and Sharing Center. (You can also get there via the Control Panel entry by selecting View Network Status and Tasks). In the left panel, select Change Adapter Settings.

2. Select the icons you want to bridge by clicking the first, holding down the Ctrl key, and clicking the second.

3. Right-click one of the now-highlighted icons and select Bridge Connections.

4. A new icon named Network Bridge appears. Select this new icon and, if you want, rename it appropriately—for example, “Ethernet to Phoneline Bridge.”

5. Double-click the new Network Bridge icon. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and configure your computer’s TCP/IP settings. You must do this last because any TCP/IP settings for the original two adapters are lost.

When you’ve created a bridge, your two network adapters function as one and share one IP address, so Microsoft disables the “network properties” of the individual network adapters. You must configure your computer’s network properties with the Network Bridge icon.

Remember that the connection between the two networks depends on the computer with the bridge being powered on.

You can remove the bridge later by right-clicking the Network Bridge icon and clicking Delete.
