Problems with the definition of a network as an "Unidentified network" that arise for users of Windows version 7, lead to the impossibility of sharing the necessary files and folders. The solution to this problem is carried out by standard means of the operating system itself.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the main system menu by clicking the "Start" button, and open the context menu of the "Computer" item by right-clicking. Specify the "Properties" item and make sure that the same name is in the "Workgroup" line of the "Computer name" section of all computers on the network. If necessary, use the "Change parameters" link and enter the required name.
Step 2
Return to the main Start menu on your primary computer and go to Control Panel. Expand the "Network and Internet" link and expand the "Network and Sharing Center" node. Call the context menu of the "Local Area Connection" element by right-clicking and select the "Properties" item.
Step 3
Go to the Networking tab of the dialog box that opens and select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4) component in the Selected components are used by this connection section. Click the Properties button and apply the check box in the Use the following IP address line in the next dialog box. Type 192.168.137.1 for IP Address and enter 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask.
Step 4
Repeat all the above steps on the second computer, but type 192.168.137.2 in the "IP address" line. Find the value of the default gateway of this computer and copy it into the corresponding field of the main computer of the network. Confirm the saving of the changes made by clicking OK on the primary computer, and leave the “Subnet mask” and “Default gateway” lines on the second computer unchanged. Type 192.168.137.1 in the "Preferred DNS server" line and apply the checkbox in the "Use the following DNS server addresses" box. Confirm the applied changes by clicking OK and restart both computers. This action will change the unidentified public network to your home network.
