Menghubungkan Komputer dan sharing data / Peer to peer topologi 2 komputer

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of connecting two computers in a peer-to-peer network using Windows 10 Education. By the end of this guide, you will be able to share data easily between the two PCs, enhancing collaboration and resource sharing.

Step 1: Set Up the Network Connection

• Ensure both computers are connected to the same local network. You can do this via Ethernet cables or a Wi-Fi connection.
• Check that both computers have network adapters enabled.
  • Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status and verify the connection.

Step 2: Configure Network Settings

• Open the Control Panel on both computers:
  • Press Windows + R, type control, and hit Enter.
• Navigate to Network and Sharing Center.
• Click on Change advanced sharing settings on the left sidebar.
• Ensure the following settings are selected:
  • Turn on network discovery.
  • Turn on file and printer sharing.
  • Save changes.

Step 3: Set Up File Sharing

• Choose a folder to share on the first computer:
  • Right-click the folder, select Properties, and then go to the Sharing tab.
• Click on Share and choose the user or select Everyone to allow access.
• Set permissions as needed (Read or Read/Write) and click Share.
• Note the network path displayed (e.g., \\ComputerName\FolderName).

Step 4: Access Shared Folder from the Second Computer

• On the second computer, open File Explorer.
• In the address bar, type the network path of the shared folder from the first computer and hit Enter.
• If prompted, enter the username and password of the first computer if required.

Step 5: Test the Connection

• To verify that the computers can communicate:
  • Open Command Prompt on either computer by pressing Windows + R, typing cmd, and hitting Enter.
  • Type ping [IP address of the other computer] and press Enter.
  • If you receive replies, the connection is successful.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Ensure both computers are on the same subnet; otherwise, they won't see each other.
• Firewalls may block connections. If you face issues, check firewall settings to allow file sharing.
• Ensure that both computers have the same workgroup name for easier visibility (found in System Properties).

Conclusion

You have successfully set up a peer-to-peer network between two computers, allowing for easy data sharing. Next steps could involve exploring more advanced networking features, such as setting up a homegroup or sharing printers. Enjoy seamless collaboration!
