You will need at least one router with at least 6 lan ports. 5 for lan (if all computers are using cables to connect) and 1 for wlan (internet cable). 5 LAN cables. Usually default automatic setting enable automatic DHCP server which is responsible for automatic IP addresses. But you have to check in router settings.

Also make sure that you PCs are in the same workgroup (win+Pause->Computer Name->Change). If you have to change the workgroup name you will have to restart your PC(s) after that.

After that press Start->Run. In run print "cmd". In cmd ping 192.168.1.1 (if you work in 192.168.1.xxx subnet) and 192.168.1.2. It will check connection with itself and with another PC.

Microprocessor as switching devices are for which generation computer?

Microprocessors as switching devices are primarily associated with the fourth generation of computers, which began in the 1970s. This generation marked a significant advancement with the introduction of microprocessors, allowing for the development of personal computers and increased processing power. These devices integrated millions of transistors onto a single chip, revolutionizing computing technology and making computers more accessible and efficient.

What is a set of agreed-upon instructions designed to allow computers to communicate to each other across a network connection?

Computers use communication protocols to communicate with each other. Just as humans generally communicate with each other using a common language, computers must do the same. A protocol defines the language the computers will use and both computers must agree upon which protocol to use, via a standard "handshake" protocol -- a simple two-way communication that establishes a connection as well as the protocol that will be used for the actual communication. Only when both sides agree upon the actual protocol can communication begin. As technology develops, protocols must evolve. Thus we have seen many ways for computers and devices to communicate and interconnect with each other over the years, each with their own set of protocols, each suited to a specific or general task. In the past we've seen COM, LPT, Ethernet, USB, FireWire and, more recently, wireless devices. Ethernet and wireless provide the basic transport system between any two computers today and often work together using intermediate devices, including wireless routers (which are themselves just simple computers). Without a common protocol, communication between all these devices would be impossible. The most prevalent protocol in use today is TCP/IP, without which the internet would not work. TCP/IP is actually two separate protocols: Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, but they work together with a third protocol, UDP (user datagram protocol), to provide a multi-layered suite of protocols. The top layer, the application level, is further split into separate protocols including HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol), FTP (file transfer protocol), SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol), DNS (domain name server), RIP (routing information protocol), SNMP (simple network management protocol) and TELNET (terminal emulation protocol), amongst many others. All Internet-enabled devices must support TCP/IP version 4 (the current protocol), although most also support version 6 which is expected to become the standard protocol at some point in the future.


What does a wireless router do?

Some devices (like the Nintendo DS) use wireless connection instead of wired for on-line usage, which means you need a wireless router. A laptop is an another example that often uses a wireless router to get on the Internet instead of a wired connection.
