LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 5

Name of Student: ___________________________ Section_________________
Learning Area: TLE 10 – Computer System Servicing Date: _________________

I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

When building a network, it is necessary that we know how to check the

connectivity of each devices. This will enable us to identify what are the possible errors
that occur during our network connectivity. As an ICT learner, it is necessary for you
to check and make sure the computer is working within a network.

II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELCs

LO 1: Set up user access TLE_IACSS9-12SUCS-IIIa-e-37

1.3 Establish network access policies/end user requirements
1.4 Perform security check in accordance with established network access
policies/end user requirements

III. ACTIVITIES

Information Sheet
Checking Network Connectivity

On the Taskbar of a computer that is a member of

the network, you should see the icon for the network
connectivity. The icon may appear empty:

That's good (this is not a guaranty that everything is

alright but probably everything is fine).
If the icon appears with a rotating cursor, the computer is
probably looking for a network:

In this case, you should let it continue searching. The

icon may appear with an orange ball:

Click that icon to show a list of available networks

(from your neighbors) and click the name of your network.

If the icon appears with a red X or any suspicious

sign, it means something is wrong:

If the computer connects using a cable (wired

connection), the first thing you should check is whether the
network cable is connected. If it's not, connect it and check the icon again. If the
cable is connected, the next thing is to check whether the driver for the network card
is installed and up-to-date.

To check it, click Start, right-click Computer, and click Manage. On the left,

click Device Manager. Check how Ethernet Controller and/or Network Controller
appear. If either or both have an exclamation mark in their icon, right-click the item
and click Properties (you can also double-click it). A dialog box would come up. It
may display a message that the drivers are not installed:

DepEd Camarines Norte

There are various ways you can get the drivers. One way is to get to the web

site of the manufacturer, download the driver, and install it. Then check the icon
again.

Network Discovery

Network discovery makes it

possible for a computer to allow
other computers to "see" it on the
network. If you have a computer
that needs to participate in a
network, you should allow
network discovery on it. To do
that, open Windows Explorer and
click Network (you can click the
Start button and click the Network
option). A message should
appear under the toolbar stating
"Network discovery is turned
off...": Click to Change

Routine Operations of a Network

User Accounts

A peer-to-peer network, also called a workgroup, is a network where each

computer owns its own resources and can make them available. Each computer may
or may not present much security. One way to secure a computer is to make sure that
anybody who wants to use it must be identified. That is, everyone who wants to use
the computer must have a user account on that computer.
