Activity (Lab) No. 5 Hardware and Networking

This document describes a lab experiment on networking concepts. The objective is to understand networking between computers, sharing files, and configuring private and public IP addresses. It provides details on setting up file sharing in Windows and the differences between private and public IPs. Private IPs are internally used for communication within a local network while public IPs are unique addresses that identify a device on the internet. The document also includes discussion questions and references for further reading.

Hardware & Networking Lab (N-VSCCS101P) – [Lab 05]

AIM: Apply the concept of networking, shared files, and configure private and public IPs in the
operating system.

OBJECTIVE/EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOME:


To be able to understand the concept of networking between computers, share files, and configure
Private and Public IPs in Operating System.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT:


Hardware Requirement
● Processor : Dual Core
● RAM : 1GB
● Hard Disk Drive : > 80 GB
Software Requirement
● Shared Folder

THEORY:
To share a file or folder in File Explorer, do one of the following:
 Right-click or press a file, select Give access to > Specific people.

 Select a file, select the Share tab at the top of File Explorer, and then in the Share
with section select Specific people.

Select a user on the network to share the file with or select Everyone to give all network users
access to the file.
If you select multiple files at once, you can share them all in the same way. It works for folders,
too—share a folder, and all files in it will be shared.
To stop sharing in File Explorer, do one of the following:
 Right-click or press a file or folder, then select Give access to > Remove access.

 Select a file or folder, select the Share tab at the top of File Explorer, and then in
the Share with section select Remove access.

File Explorer shows the Remove access option ("Stop sharing" in older versions of Windows 10)
for all files, even those that aren't being shared over a network. A public IP address is a unique IP
address assigned to your network router by your internet service provider and can be accessed
directly over the internet. A private IP address is a unique address that your network router assigns
to your device. It is used within a private network to connect securely to other devices.

What is a Public IP Address?


A public IP address is an address provided that is provided by your internet service provider (ISP)
to your network. On the internet, it recognizes your device. The internet is accessed through your
router's public IP address. Public IP addresses are commonly used by publicly accessible
enterprises such as websites, DNS, and VPN servers because they can be accessed from anywhere
in the world. You cannot go online without having your public IP address, which identifies your
device on the internet. Your router is an intermediate between your computer and the internet on
a typical home network.

What is a Private IP Address?


A private IP address, also known as the local IP address, is the IP address your network router
allocates to your device. This address is only visible within your network, so it is unavailable on

the internet. Each device on the same network is assigned a unique private IP address that allows
them to communicate with other devices. The device in your home can have the same private IP
address as your neighbours’ device or anyone else's all over the world, with private IP addresses.
This is due to the non-routable nature of private addresses.
