People who have to work with several computers often want to combine them into a single network. To do this, it is important to know what a domain network is and how best to build it.
It is necessary
- - several computers;
- - telephone wire or wireless communication devices;
- - network provider.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the type of network you want to create. A local area network is usually small and consists of several computers located nearby. A large domain network can unite clients that are hundreds of kilometers away from each other.
Step 2
Give your domain a name. The names have a special structure. The most important is the root domain or top (first) level domain, which determines the location of the server, as well as the business of the company. For example, the ru domain shows the location in Russia, com - more often foreign organizations operating on commercial terms. Domain names of the second level are separated from the main one by a dot and most often denote the name of the company that owns the site. For example, in the domain name wikipedia.org, the word wikipedia represents a second-level domain. Finally, a third-level domain shows a part or department of a particular company, for example ru.wikipedia.org.
Step 3
Register a domain. This can be done by contacting top-level domain owners who sell a variety of domain names from the second level and below on the Internet. They will register one site or an entire network at once, perform security control and, for a fee, provide their server to store your information for up to a year. It is important to pay attention to the lifetime of the server and customer reviews of the owners of the domain you have chosen.
Step 4
Connect all computers on the domain network in a suitable way. This can be done with a simple cable, telephone wire, satellite connection, or wireless devices. In a domain server, Active Directory is responsible for system operation and communication between members. Also here you will be given access to administration and general security control. Specify the network settings that will be transmitted by your ISP - IP, mask, gateway and DNS addresses.
