installation and settings for an Internet Cafe

Ability to perform installation and settings for an Internet Cafe (cafe) have been considered only owned by those who have long been the world's IT administrator. With a fairly decent set fee they are willing to assist us in building a cafe that should be we use as a Production Unit. Ignorance of how a network system to run smoothly is the main reason for us to continue to use their power. Departing from the situation so I wrote this guide. Intentionally made by presenting step by step to be understood and understood even by someone who did not know the network.

In these guidelines will discuss the installation and settings for a cafe that has 1 server & 12 clients as shown in the picture below:

Operating System Window $ is very expensive, so we can buy a CPU second one with built-ups from abroad is still good. Usually, in addition to quality higher than the CPU assembly, CPU Built-up from abroad has also been equipped with the Windows Operating System Standards.

3. Hub / Switch / Router
It is a tool used to share Internet connection from PC to PC server
Client. The choice between Hub / Switch / Router is determined by the ability of the connection
want to generated, and of course be adjusted with the available funds. In the present study
Our case this time I will use the switch as the divisor Internet connection.
4. Modem
Modem is a device that is used as a link from a PC or
network to Internet Service Providers (Internet Service Provider / ISP). Use
Modem that will be discussed this time are the type of ADSL modem. Modems of this type
usually used by ISPs TELKOMSpeedy. For this type of ADSL modem itself could
selected based on need. This time the author takes the example ADSL LynkSys AM
300 which only has 1 (one) just as Dialup Device port.

External ADSL Modem Settings
Here are the steps that must be done to ensure a PC server connected to
Internet:
1) Open your Internet Explorer and typing the following address: 192.168.1.1 (usually is
The default IP address for the modem).
2) After the login window appears fill in the username: admin Password: admin, or appropriate

6) If we want to replace the modem username & password you are welcome to
pull through the following options:
7) Who can we monitor our connection to the tabs status (picture), is actually an IP address

After all the testing steps one setting well we can do is
by opening Internet Explorer you, then go to one of the WEB address
easy loading. Example: Http: / / www.google.co.id/ ago for testing speed
can be done through a few sites that provide measurement services
Bandwidth, example: http://www.sijiwae.net/speedtest/.

Synchronization
After the relationship between PC servers and Internet connection to run smoothly step
next synchronization. So that all computers can be synchronized correctly, here are the steps that must be done:
1) Synchronization Name Computers / PCs and the name of Work Group conducted by
as follows:
a. Displaying Task Control System
b. In the Computer Name tab click Change to change the computer name and
Workgroup name. Computer name should be sorted according to the number
a Client to help us remember the name of each computer,
name of each PC should not be the same. But for the Workgroup name
must be made is the same for all Client and Server.
c. After we change the name of the PC the next step is to change the Network ID
Tab by clicking on the Network Control System ID on the task earlier.
i. On the question How Do You Use This Computer select This Computer option is part of a business network, and then click Next.
ii. In the next option choose the Network Without a Domain.

iii. Next input the workgroup name as the name WorkGorup that we fill in the time to change the name of the PC in step (b) earlier.

iv. Next Click Next and then Finish. Wait a few moments until the computer has finished the turn of the Network ID and do restrat Operating System / Reboot.

e. If updated successfully, but the clock shown is not the same, then the error
may occur on the Time Zone to the region's time is GMT
GMT + 07:00 Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta, while the PST is
GMT +08:00 Perth and EST to GMT + 09:00 Seoul.

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
Up to this point the PC is connected internet a PC server only. For
provide access to the PC client to have access to the internet we need to enable Internet Connection Sharing that we have on the PC server. The steps are as follows:

1) Open the Network Connections window contained in the Control Panel. Then right-click
on our active connection to the internet => select Properties.

2) On the Advanced tabs enable the option Allow other network users to the connect through this
computer's Internet Connection.
3) After successful at sharing an Internet connection so you will have 2 pieces kinds of connections. We recommend that you change the name of each connection so you can easily distinguish between connections that connect to a modem with a connection that is connected to the Switch with a way to rename each of these connections.

4) If we open the properties on the connection that is connected to the Switch, the tabs support
there is an IP address which will be the default gateway for the PC Client which will
connect via a PC Server (192.168.0.1).
