Client Server Networking/Domain Network
Before start
1) Install Windows 2003 or latest server os in your server machine.
2) Install any client OS in your client machines. eg. Windows 7 Home basic.
Our Requirements are
1) We want to access internet in server machine and also share it to client machines.
2) We want to set authentication of login from the client machine from the server machine, thus the server admin can control the client machines. Also set separate permission to the each user accounts.
First of all we want to setup simple LAN networking using switch by setting manual IP’s for each machine.IP are used to identify each machines in the network.
A)Settings in Server Machine
We need two LAN Cards in server ,one for the internet access,and another for connecting to local network.
See the settings in server machine LAN card(cart that connect to internet) Properties.Use Obtain IP address automatically,and DNS server address automatically.
Next step is that the first lan card internet is to be shared to other lan card that connected to local network.thus all local network machines can access internet through the second LAN card,that means it ip became the gateway of the client machine.
For sharing the internet from first lan card to second we have to check the option in the LAN card properties”Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet Connection”
“Please check the screen shot below”
After doing this an IP will generate at the second LAN card and change manually the IP address,For eg. you can change the ip address in LAN card 2 ad below.
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask:225.225.225.0
Please check the screen short of LAN card 2 in the server machine.
Now we finish the simple LAN networking settings in server machine,Now we have to move to client machine,
B)Settings in Client Machine
IP Address – 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway – 192.168.0.1
f you not set DNS server in your server machine put DNS server info of your internet provider ,just ask to the internet provider of your area.
eg. BSNL users in India u can find the DNS Server something like this.
(For BSNL users in India u can find the DNS Server Info by opening the modem ip 192.168.1.1 in browser then put the user name and password as “admin”.After logged in , note down the DNS Server info from the Home page.)
| Primary DNS Server: | 218.248.245.1 |
| Secondary DNS Server: | 218.248.255.141 |

Our Requirements are
1) We want to access internet in server machine and also share it to client machines.
2) We want to set authentication of login from the client machine from the server machine, thus the server admin can control the client machines. So web want to set separate permission to the each user accounts.
We completed the first requrement
1) We want to access internet in server machine and also share it to client machines.
Before Start formate the drives in the server as NTFS.To create Domain Controller you must format as NTFS.
To create Domain Controller(Client Controlling Server)
Step 1: Go to Run ->put cmd ok.
Step 2: Command Prompt will open type dcpromo there.Then a Active Directory wizard will open then click Next.Select Domain Controller for a New Domain,then click Next.Select Domain tree in a New forest then click Next.Then Type FQDN Name (Domain name some thing like yourcompany.com),name must be contain any one of extention such as.com,.edu,.org.Then click Next.Then the wizard show an option to install DNSServer,select the option and click Next.Thus the system will configure as Domain controller,thus the server get the power to control the clients connected to domain.
Step 3: Next is that you have to connect the clients to the domain controller.For that,you have to configure the clients.
If you already do the below step ,then no need to change the setting.I alredy metion this at(If you already do this step ,then no need to change the setting.I alredy metion this setting above ( ” B)Settings in Client Machine”)
Go to My network places-then LAN Properties.Double click TCP/IP from the list.Here you have to provide the IP address and subnet mask.In Prefered DNS Server provide the IP address of Server.
Step 4: Next go to My Computer->Properties->Change,Select Domain from Member of.and provide domain name of the server.
Then click More , Provide “Primary DNS suffix of this computer” as the domain name itself.
Then click Ok.Then a window appers to provide Username password.Username is the domain controller username and password is domain controller password.
Then system need to restart.
Then do these steps to all client machines.
You can create client users and also restrict the user permition from the domain controller .
Afrer creating users ,then you can login user accounts from client machines.
How get access the internet in both laptop and computer?
First establish a LAN connection between 2 PCs
PC1:
IP Address – 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway – 192.168.0.2
PC2:
IP Address – 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway – 192.168.0.1

Step 1:To Share internet PC1 must have two LAN cards,First LAN card is connected with broad band and Second LAN card is connected to PC2.
Step 2:Allow sharing internet permission by opening the properties of LAN card 1 of PC1.
Step 3: Provide the DNS server info of your internet provider in LAN card 1 of PC2,Thus You get access the internet in both laptop and computer.If You Don’t know the DNS server info of your internet provider ,just ask to the internet provider of your area.
