Chapter 4: Setting up your computer network Chapter 5: Wireless vs wired Chapter 6: Cable management for wired computer network Chapter 7: Managing your network with network monitoring tools Chapter 8: Computer network maintenance and repair Chapter 9: Troubleshooting computer network Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Computer networking design and solutions To stay competitive in today’s business environment, the individual would have to use as many innovative ways as possible to ensure the business in reaching its desired target audience in an optimal way. Therefore the heart of most businesses today lies in the computer network chosen to represent all the various aspects of the business. Basically the network design and solutions formed is the key to the digital information and communication that links all connected parties on the same “page”. When the appropriate computer network design and solutions are chosen then the productivity to be expected with such a choice would vastly improve and also help to reduce the threat of loss or possible theft of data. However in order for the computer network to function well there are certain requirements that should be monitored such as the proper maintenance done periodically. Without this periodic inspection, the system becomes vulnerable to possible security risks, money wasters and unreliable functions. The computer networking design and solutions chosen would ideally be able to provide some of the following element without any need for other additional support. These would include the back end system integration, front office implementation, network architecture design, an active directory design and migration, IT infrastructure/IT governance, local and wide area network, VPN, Microsoft exchange planning and implementation, Novell directory services design and secure network computing facilities. All or some of the above would ideally help to create the ideal scenario for the smooth running of the business entity in the competitive platform, of today. Most new startup businesses would have to seek out the services of others to provide some of the above elements as these would be deemed important to the eventual progress and success of the business entity.. Chapter 3: Getting the right computer network hardware. There are several different elements that should be examined before deciding on the most suitable computer network hardware that would be needed to ensure the business entity is well run and complete. Understanding the various functions within the business workings will give the individual an idea of what types of computer network hardware would be needed to assist in the areas of need. Understanding that simply walking into a store and buying the first system that is introduced would not in any way help the individual business owner eventually, and even worse it may be found that the initial choice made could be entirely unsuitable and therefore redundant. Understanding that all computer systems are not designed to be equal would be a good place to start. There are computer network hardwares that are available to suit various different types of businesses. The following are some areas to consider when looking into the computer network hardware platform: • Business computers – these machines would usually have to run for long hours and perhaps even infinitely. Therefore there would be a need to consider a computer networking hardware system that can accommodate such needs without causing any negative effects to the business as a whole. • Business servers – ideally these should be able to make reliable, share and manage all of the business data as it is specially designed to hold, manage, send and process data. The technology behind these servers should be able to be more reliable that desktop systems, helps in the processing of data at a faster pace and with a heightened level of efficiency, is able to reduce the data bottle necks for the information flow and ensure it is not disturbed or overloaded. The computer network hardware is also designed to scale as according to the needs of the particular business. Chapter 4: Setting up your computer network Due to the advancement in technological breakthroughs, it is becoming more popular to set up one’s own computer network without having to enlist the expertise of others. However in doing so, the individual should be aware of all the elements that contribute to a complete computer network. The following are some instructions that can be easily managed should the individual decide to set up a computer network: • Perhaps the first step would be to determine the need for either a wired or wireless network. This will eventually be a very pivotal point for the business entity. Points that would help to determine this would include considerations such as budget and security. Wired networks would be more suitable for higher security needs. • There would also be a need to acquire the necessary equipment based on the infrastructure of the business entity. If there is a need to have a wired network that would have to accommodate large number devices, then there may be a need to have the support of those who are able to handle such tasks. If a wireless network is chosen, then there would be a need to have wireless access points, and ideally this should include internet connectivity that is both reliable and consistent. • Determining the IP address scheme to be used and the corresponding IP addresses to the serves on the network would be another task that would need attentions as this is an important element that facilitates the connectivity of the business. Among the more popular choices would be Vista, and Windows 7 which are based on operating system that determine the network discovery processes. • There would also be a need to select the workgroup name and assign it to all the computers on the network. This can be done by following the steps recommended for this action.

Table of Contents Foreword Chapter 1: The basics of windows 7 Chapter 2: Discover the windows 7 mysteries Chapter 3: Securing windows 7 Chapter 4: Working with programs and files Chapter 5: Printing in windows 7 Chapter 6: Understanding Control Panel Chapter 7: Recover your windows from a crash Chapter 8: Computer networking in windows 7 Chapter 9: Entertainment with windows 7 Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Discover the windows 7 mysteries There are several improvements made to the windows 7 and it would be useful to understand these to clear the mysteries around the newer seemingly more effective system. The following are some of the improvements noted, thus unraveling the mysteries of the window 7: • It is purported to be a better desktop facility as it is able to get around the PC faster and more efficiently than before. The taskbar has a bigger button reach and full sized previews are readily available. Being able to pin programs to it with just one click access is another improvement and the jump lost provides shortcuts to files, folders and websites. The Snap, Peek and Shake will give the user easy and fun access to new ways to juggle all the open sites. • Smarter search – anything types into the start menu search box will now entails results instantly, grouped by category, the documents, pictures, music, emails and programs will now be much easier to view. There is also the platform available to fine tune any search with filters such as date or file type where the user will be able to peek at the contents. • Build for speed, the windows 7 key is the heightened performance it is able to provide. The improvements ensure less space is taken up in the memory and run background services which are only used when needed. This way the programs are run at a faster pace and the system is able to “sleep” and resume and reconnect to wireless networks at a much quicker pace. • Better wireless networking facilitating processes especially when connecting to the laptops where there used to be problems. Now the process can be achieved in just a few clicks. Chapter 3: Securing windows 7 Securing any applications is very important for those using the online tools fr various purposes. Therefore it is in the interest of the user to ensure as many precautions are taken to ensure the security measure in place, are suitable and optimum. The following are some of the steps that should be considered when addressing the securing exercise for the windows 7: • Enable BitLocker – this can be used to encrypt any volume on the hard drive and also includes boot, system and even removable media such as USB keys. Vista preliminary problems can be managed quite well with this addition. With just a simply right click the user can encrypt any volume from within the windows explorer. As there are several protection methods in place the user would be well equipped to deal with processing security measures. • Raise the UAC slide bar – the user account control has been significantly improves with the less intrusive and smarter ability that distinguishes between legitimate and potential malicious activities in the windows 7 applications. However this would depend on the logged on platform of the user which could either be as administrator or as a standard user, as some installations many have a default UAC security setting that is a level lower that others would recommend. • Patch everything – this service will appropriately configure to download and install critical windows operating systems and Microsoft application files in a timely manner. Microsoft has been reputed to be amount the most patched software available to date. Therefore by simply installing the software, the programs can all be patched especially the user browser plug-ins. • Install adequate anti-spam and anti-malware software – the biggest threat to a system is the Trojan horse which acts as a fake outlook parch, fake antivirus scanner and fake codec for all the attention grabbing information that might entice the user to open. Chapter 4: Working with programs and files Some users may need to upgrade their current applications to the window 7 and this can be done easily if the user is able to understand the various steps involved. Being aware of the right tools and applications available will help the user make informed decisions as to how to go about this task. If the user intends to install windows 7 on top of Vista, the setup would require the program to leave the existing files and folders intact. However backing up everything is still advised as a precautionary measure. If the user is moving form XP then the custom install will be enough and there would not be a need to back up any files or folders. The windows 7 easy transfer tool will back up the date files but not the applications, therefore the user would have to have installation discs at hand so that the reinstallation process can be easily done. However it should be noted that these new programs may render the old one useless and irretrievable, but there are other programs within the new windows7 that will help the user run these applications as best as possible. Using the competitive mode as a tool within the windows 7 will help the user if there are problems with the older software. If enable the user to run these programs using artificial environment applications. The competitive mode application will help to mimic the system setting it needs to run the programs successfully. However some caution should be exercised when running these programs. When the windows 7 is up and running, there may be a select few programs that aren’t performing as they should and the user would have two options to explore and these would be to click the net to try the recommended settings or to commence troubleshooting exercises.

The following are some step to consider in the quest to become a professional golfer: • Perhaps the most important element to tackle is getting proficient at the game. Being able to play to an extremely low score consistently will create the ideal platform for winning, thus giving the individual a chance to compete professionally. • The individual would have to start by competing in local golf tournaments. Building a strong game and reputation on this circuit with consistent wins will provide the stepping stone to higher grade games. Once the wins are consistent, the individual will then take on the status of amateur, which will be the first step in the next level of competitive playing. • The next step would be to break into the ultimate golf playing circuits, such as the PGA tour, the European tour and the Asian tour, all of which requires the individual to already be a consistent winner in the other minor tour circuits.

Chapter 3: Getting your golfing gear ready A lot of people today are seriously considering the game of golf as a good recreational and healthy lifestyle change. This is mainly due to the fact that this game is played outdoors and therefore deemed refreshing, healthy and comparatively the least strenuous. However getting started the correct way is very important as this can be quite a costly investment, therefore the need to be well informed before actually making any commitment decisions. Some would advice taking a few classes with rented golf sets, before actually committing to buying one. This is to help the individual understand the game’s basic requirements and to be able to try a few golf sets, before finding one that would ensure comfort and control. The golf clubs are usually made of different types of metal combinations, therefore requiring the individual to be comfortable with a particular choice. Besides the golf set, there are also accessories such as tees, balls, gloves and suitable outfits that should also be considered for its comfort and style features before a purchase is made. The tees vary in height and the individual would have to find a size that gives the best and most comfortable stokes when used. The balls selected are also pivotal to the style of game style eventually adopted by the player. However for most beginners it is really not a very important issue at this point. Golf attire is quite specific in its requirements, as most golf courses are stringent in the ruling about how the players using their facilities should be attired. This is to ensure the game’s high standards in attire choice are maintained. Men are expected to be outfitted in collared t-shirt or other specifically designed shirts for golf. Women however have a little leeway to be more creative in the dress code choice, although certain universally accepted criteria’s are still to be followed. Chapter 4: Knowing all the rules of golf game The game of golf is clearly divided into two main playing areas, which are the fairways and the putting greens. The idea is to get the ball from the tee box which is at the beginning of each fairway into the hole on the green is as few ball strikes or strokes as possible. As there are two main styles or formats involved, there are also certain rules to be followed while on the course playing the game. The two main styles would be the match play and the stroke play styles. The general rules governing any golf game would be playing the course as it is, playing the ball as it lies and only by knowing and using the rules can the player turn things around to be advantageous. The following are some of the basic rules or etiquette a player should be aware of and adhere to at all times when on the golf course, both for comfort and safety reasons: • No movement, talking or standing too close to the player making the shot should be adhered to. Failing to observe this could result in unpleasant consequences. • The player should not proceed with the golf shot if the preceding players are still in sight and in the way. This is to ensure the ball does not hit the players in front and cause injury. However slow or delayed play is also not allowed as this will lead to other players behind being held up and thus contributing to the general air of frustration and annoyance. • Allow faster players to play on through, as this will show consideration and all parties will be able to enjoy their game better. Replacing divots and smoothen foot prints and ball marks in the bunkers with the rakes provided is also another important rule to follow, as if not done, the player can be penalized and not allowed to play on the course in future.

However, for the committed and serious player, a lot more is needed, in terms of attire and equipment to complete the entire package. The following are just some of the items that should be included in the ideal outfit and gear package for soccer: • Cleats – there are various brands of shoes with cleats for different types of soccer field textures. This is usually meant to be an external attachment to the shoe to provide the additional traction on a soft or slippery surface. The individual would have to identify the soccer ground conditions and choose accordingly, the type of shoe suitable for creating comfortable play. • Shin guard – this function is to protect the player’s shins form injury as the style of the game often involved some unintentional contact of this area. The goal is to create maximum protection without hindering the player’s ability to perform well on the field. • Ankle guard – this is also another essential piece of gear that is important in ensuring the player limits the amount of injury sustained. As the ankle area is also susceptible to injury due to the style of play often adopted in soccer, there is a need to protect it adequately. • Jerseys and socks – these are usually picked according to the comfortable factor and perhaps the color and design that popularly depict the individual’s favorite team. However is the individual is part of an existing team, then the choice of these outfits are dictated by the team. These outfits are often times sponsored by the establishments supporting the team financially. Chapter 3: How the soccer game works Soccer is sometimes also called football, and is a game played and enjoyed all over the world. However depending on who and where it is being played, there would ultimately be some variations applied, but the basis outline of the game would still be very much evident. In order to be able to play the game well, there are several different aspects of the game that should be mastered as this would ultimately contribute to the winning possibilities. The following are some of the more popular moves that are considered essential to creating a winning strategy for the soccer game: 2v2 quick attacking soccer drill – here the attacking and the defending skill are worked on to ensure optimum results are achieved on the field. The fast paced and dynamic movements will help the team to make headway in scoring the required goals to win. 2v2+4 passing, possession and combination – these too are specific moves that should be mastered. The focus here is on passing, possession or a combination of both when the ball is in play. This is ideal for player to be able to utilize when tight spots become apparent. Triangle goal game – here all the focus is concentrated on the aspects of the game where the passing and moving is accumulated into ideally positioned finishing moves, which get the player in positions where ball passing and goal scoring is more doable. 5 pass possession game – the passing drills here also pay special attention of creating play by dominating ball possession while completing a series of passes. This possession of the ball skills is to allow the player to concentrate on awareness, speed of play, support and movement to maintain possession. This is especially useful when the movements are fast and furious around the opposing team’s goals scoring areas. Chapter 4: Excellent moves you can do with your feet The feet are probably the most important contributing body part for the game of soccer, as the other part of the body have rather restricted uses within the game. As the feet are in contact with the ground all the different movements for soccer drills, some consideration should be given to ensure the impact on the feet does not come at the price of injury, due to improper use of the feet within the sphere of playing soccer. In order to receive and maneuver the ball well the player would need to use the inside or outside of the foot to steer the ball away from the pressure so that some space can be created to make the next move or pass more directional. This will also allow for better dribble movements without killing the ball’s movements when initial contact is made with the feet. Toughing the ball to the side with the inside or outside of the foot a few feet away from the body will make the next pass easier and more forceful if needed, thus importance to master a good first touch routine. The good first touch routine will allow comfortable control of the ball in front of the player with enough room to convert the movement into a dribbling motion or a good passing motion. It also facilitates ideal and quick movement of the ball, holding power over the ball and goal scoring actions. This will also allow the player to steer the ball away from the defender and into the space where the body and arms can make a formation to block and protect the ball possession until it is passes on to another team member. This will effectively stop the defender from rushing at the ball to try and gain possession.
