Comment on What should be the the correct IP and DNS addresses in LAN connection? by GTB

Usually you configure you pc to obtain IP address and DNS automatically. This means that when you boot up the pc requests and is given the information from a LAN DHCP server (which can be the router, or the server, or a mixture of the two, depending upon the LAN itself).

Seldomly and only for good reason, do you configure your pc to use a static LAN IP address and static DNS address because this is more and often needless work.

There is no Administrator IP address; there is a default gateway IP address and a DNS IP address.

I think In order to confirm your ip and DNS address , u can contact to your internet service provider (i.e your local ISP)

I think If your computer automatically obtained IP address from the LAN once you connect it, this will surely come from the DHCP server. Most often, DHCP server also act as the gateway to the Internet. To know your IP address, gateway and DNS, here’s how (specific steps):

From “Start” button, click “Run” then type “cmd” or “command” (in WindowsXP). This will come the DOS Command prompt window. From that window, type “ipconfig /all”. This will show all of your network configuration. =)

I think go start then run then type cmd
in the window that pops up type ipconfig
this will show the default gateway and the subnet mask
assuming you are using a class c network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then the only thing that should be different from your ip to the default gateway is the last number which will range from 2-254 if you want more detail about the address type ipconfig /all and shows all the info

Comment on How do I make a domain unaccessable for computers on a network that share the same lan connection? by VinceY

1. Create user groups for your users. eg. Finance, Production, Sales, etc.. Don’t forget the SysAdmin group with administrator rights

2. Assign users to the individual groups.

3. For the folders that are to be shared, make sure the sharing assigns only those user groups that have rights to those folders.

4. Create user accounts for even those people who are not supposed to access the domain shares, but do not assign them to any user group that has rights to access any of the domain folders.

5. Remove ‘Everyone’ user group from the folder shares.

You now have valid users assigned to user groups that are able to access folders they are supposed to. You also have invalid users who are not assigned to user groups, but belong to the ‘Everyone’ group, and they cannot access any folders within the domain. You now also have a way to log all the users (valid or invalid) when they login to the domain.

For a start you can use security to control who can access what. From the sound of it your security is non-existant or anyone outside the domain would have no access. If you restrict access to domain groups or users you then have full control over what is accessible. As you are if one machine suffers a break-in your server is compromised.

I think Are you able to use DHCP? If you can, then you don’t even need to know that information.

If not, you can either:
a) Google it. There are listings for some of the larger ISPs.
or
b) Contact your ISP.

If you can use DHCP, but you would rather not, then here’s what I suggest:

Use DHCP to connect initially, and then go to Start->Run and type in`cmd.exe`

Run `ipconfig /all` and write down your DNS server addresses. Now that you know the addresses, you can turn DHCP off and enter the nameservers manually from now on.

When you set up the directories to be saved on the server, look at the permissions for each share. If you give any permissions to the Everyone group, anyone able to access the LAN will be able to see and manipulate the files in the share.

You are going to have to set up the groups you want to use the share, and disable any permissions on the Everyone group.

WARNING!!!! you must be very careful to make sure you have admin rights and access to the share prior to removing the Everyone permissions or you may loose access to everything in the folder.

This is something you want to test on an empty folder, or a test folder first. Failure to do so will cause much pain and anguish.

If you do this right, you will be able to have said computers as a part of the domain, and still have the access rights, or lack there of, that you require. Also, you can do this on a computer to computer basis, or better yet, a user basis, so no matter what computer said user is logged into, he will only have the rights you assign him.

Your primary and secondary DNS is the address of your ISP provider. If you do not know them and are trying to set up a modem router for example you will need to use a working computer to go to your providers website and look up router setup information. These settings can be found there.
