Regardless of what kind of network connection you want to create, your first stop is at the Network and Sharing screen. To get there, follow these steps:

1.
Go to the Start Menu and select Control Panel, Network and Internet (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. The Control Panel is your destination when setting up a network under Windows 7.

Note

Note that this is different from the equivalent in Vista, where the process of setting up your network involved selecting specific options, sometimes on the Control Panel and sometimes elsewhere. With Windows 7, the options all start with those listed on the Control Panel. Networking options on the right side of the Control Panel screen list Devices and Printers, HomeGroup, Internet Options, Network and Sharing Center, RemoteApp and Desktop Connections, and Windows Firewall, all of which have something to do with networking.

2.
Click Network and Sharing Center on the right side of the screen (see Figure 2). Note that this is different from the Network and Sharing Center that appeared in Vista, as shown in Figure 3. In Windows 7, the Network and Sharing Center automatically finds the networks to which your computer is connected. If you’re connected to the Internet, you will see the path from your computer via whatever network you’re using to the Internet. In the example shown in Figure 2, the name of that network was simply “Network.” Below that is a list of your currently active networks. If your computer is at home, your home network will appear here, as will any available Wi-Fi connections near your home. Below that is where you set up your network connections, both internal to your home and external to other networks, including the Internet.
Figure 2. Windows 7 simplifies network discovery, automatically finding any network to which your computer is connected.
Figure 3. The Network and Sharing Center in Windows Vista is quite different from what you’ll see in Windows 7.

In the section labeled View Your Active Networks, click Connect or Disconnect. In the small box on the upper right, the list of networks Windows 7 has detected appears. The ones that are currently active are listed in the top half of the window, and the ones to which you could connect but haven’t are in the bottom half. If you want to connect to one of these, this is the place to do it. Simply click the Connect button and enter the information requested. Likewise, if you want to disconnect from one of these networks, do it here and follow the instructions.
