Waxay u badan tahay inaad marar badan la soo kulantay xaaladda markii xubin qoyska ka mid ah ama saaxiibkaa uu soo booqday gurigaaga oo u baahan yahay inuu wax ka galo shabakadaada. Waxaa laga yaabaa inay u baahan yihiin kombuyuutar si ay ugu shaqeeyaan dokumentiga Word , laga yaabee inay u baahan yihiin inay daabacaan, laga yaabee inay sawiraan dukumeenti ama Skype ama FaceTime qof la jira.

Waxaan leeyahay qoys badan oo soo baxa oo kama welwelo waxay heli karaan ama maya sababtoo ah waan ku kalsoonahay iyaga. Si kastaba ha noqotee, marka qof kale yimaado oo uu joogo dhowr habeen, waxaan u muuqdaa mid aad u xaddidan. Maalmahan ma garanaysid cidda leh xirfadda aad ku baadho shabakadaada oo aad gasho kombayutaradaada ama aaladahaaga.

Shabakadda gurigayga, waxaan haystaa 5 kombuyuutar oo ku xidhan, 2 printer, 1 IP cam, 2 router, dhawr sanduuq oo warbaahin ah iyo shabakad ku xidhan aaladda kaydinta oo leh 2.5 TB oo xog shakhsi ah. Inta badan waxaan ka walwalaa dadku inay galaan aaladda NAS . Waxaan ku dari karay ammaan badan, laakiin taasi waxay igu adkeynaysaa inaan isticmaalo maalin kasta.

Nasiib wanaag, waxaa jira waxyaabo yar oo aad sameyn karto si aad dadka u siiso marin u helka shabakadaada maxalliga ah, laakiin isla mar ahaantaana aadan siinin wax aan ahayn internetka^(Internet) . Maqaalkan, waxaan ku tusi doonaa sida dhabta ah ee loo xidho shabakadaada si marka qof aanad hubin 100% uu rabo inuu ku xidho shabakadaada ama uu isticmaalo kombiyuutarkaaga, waxaad ku kalsoonaan kartaa inuusan ahaan doonin. awood u leh inay galaan wax kasta oo aadan rabin iyaga.

Dejinta Shabakadaha Martida

Haddii qof uu rabo inuu ku xidho shabakada wirelesska ee gurigaaga kombayutarkiisa ama taleefankiisa casriga ah, run ahaantii kama hortagi kartid wax khiyaano ah haddii aad siiso marinka shabakadaada ugu weyn ee wireless. Taas macnaheedu waa haddii wax walba ay ku xidhmaan MyHomeNetwork^{(MyHomeNetwork)} iyaga oo isticmaalaya ethernet ama wireless oo aad siiso qof marin u helka shabakadaas wireless, waxay heli karaan wax kasta oo kale oo shabakadda ah.

Waxaa jira siyaabo aad wax uga qaban karto xaaladdan oo kale sida go'doominta shabakada, taas oo macnaheedu yahay ma jiro qalab shabakadu kula hadli karo qalab kasta oo shabakada ah, laakiin tani waxay kaa dhigi doontaa mid aan suurtagal ahayn inaad isticmaasho shabakadaada. Tani waxay u fiican tahay goobaha WiFi ee dadweynaha halkaas oo aadan rabin in ninka miiska saaran ee Starbucks uu awood u yeesho inuu galo kombiyuutarkaaga, inkastoo aad ku jirto isku shabakad wireless. Akhri qoraalkaygii hore ee go'doominta shabakadaha ee shabakadaha WiFi si aad wax badan uga barato.

Taa beddelkeeda, way fiicantahay inaad leedahay shabakad wireless marti ah oo gooni ah. Hadda waxaad ku samayn kartaa mid ka mid ah laba siyaabood: ama waxaad ka shaqeysiisaa astaanta shabakadda martida ee routerkaaga wireless haddii ay taageerto ama aad iibsato router wireless sare oo jaban oo aad ku xirto martida. Waxaan guriga ku haystaa Linksys Cisco E2500 router, waxa ugu fiican ee ku saabsan router-yadani waa in ikhtiyaarka shabakadda martida si sax ah loogu dhex dhisay.

Gal routerkaaga oo aad Wireless -ka ka dibna Gelitaanka Martida^{(Guest Access)} :

Daar shabakada martida, sii furaha sirta ah, dooro tirada ugu badan ee martida ku xidhi karta oo aad samaysay! Hadda martidu waxay geli karaan internetka^(Internet) , laakiin haddii ay bilaabaan inay ku soo dhawaadaan shabakadaada, ma heli doonaan wax qalab ah ama wax kale oo ku xiran shabakada muhiimka ah. Asal ahaan waxay abuurtaa gidaar u dhexeeya shabakadaada iyo kumbuyuutarka martida.

Hadda dhibaatada kaliya ee habkani waa in ay u baahan tahay xoogaa aqoon-farsamo ah. Waa inaad gasho router-kaaga, hel goobaha saxda ah ka dibna awood u yeelo. Marka labaad, badan oo router ah ma laha habkan gelitaanka martida, markaa waa maxay?

Hagaag, xaaladahaas, waxaad heli kartaa naftaada router-ka labaad ee bilaa-waayirka ah oo aad ku xidhid shabakadaada subnet ka duwan, SSID iyo erayga sirta ah. Waxaad Amazon^(Amazon) ka heli kartaa D-Link wireless G router sida $14 oo la socota. Markaa waxaad akhrin kartaa qoraalkayga ku saabsan sida loo dejiyo router-ka labaad ee wireless-ka ee shabakadda gurigaaga^{(second wireless router on your home network)} .

Hadda arrinta kaliya ee tan ayaa ah inaad ku xirto router labaad kan ugu horreeya ee ay u badan tahay. Tani waa sababta oo ah runtii waxaa jira hal fiilo oo ka imanaya modem-ka ISP-ga^(ISP) ugu weyn ee u socda router-gaaga bilaa-waayirka ah. Markaa si aad ugu xidhid router labaad, waa inaad ku xidhidhiyaha labaad kan kowaad.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, sababtoo ah NAT , labada shabakadood waxay awoodi doonaan inay wada xiriiraan midba midka kale. Weli way ka wanaagsan tahay in la haysto hal shabakad sababtoo ah hawl yar maaha in la ogaado in shabakad labaad ay jirto iyo in la helo macluumaadka sida macluumaadka DHCP ee shabakada labaad. Haddii aad leedahay qof soo socda oo garanaya sida loo jabsado, ma jiraan wax badan oo aad samayn karto meeshaas si kastaba ha ahaatee ilaa aad wax walba ka dhigto mid ammaan ah, oo aan cidina run ahaantii samayn.

Waxaan kaliya isku dayeynaa inaan ka hortagno kombiyuutarada iyo aaladaha NAS inay ka soo muuqdaan kombuyuutar qof marka ay furaan Finder ama Windows Explorer . Taasi waxay ku filnaan doontaa 99% dadka halkaas jooga. Waxaa jira hab farsamo oo lagu sameeyo si labada shabakadood aysan isgaarsiin karin, laakiin taasi waxay u baahan tahay isticmaalka DMZ taasina waa mid aad u adag waxa aan isku dayayo inaan muujiyo.

Markaa kuwani waa labada doorasho ee ugu weyn marka loo eego shabakadda wireless-ka. Haddii routerkaaga uu taageero, habka ugu fudud ayaa ah inaad si fudud u shido shabakada martida. Haddii kale, waxaad iibsan kartaa router jaban oo la isticmaalay, ku xidh gadaasha routerkaaga ugu horreeya oo sii SSID iyo erayga sirta ah ee ka duwan.

Wadaagista Madbacadaha & Sawir-qaadayaasha

Isku xirka internetka^(Internet) ka baxsan , sifada ugu weyn ee xigta ee dadku codsadaan waa daabacaadda iyo iskaanka Laga yaaba in aan daabaco kaarka boodhinka ama wax la mid ah inta badan waa waxa aan maqlo. Hadda haddii aad haysatid isticmaaleyaal ku xiraya shabakad fiilo gaar ah oo gurigaaga ah, dabadeed waxaa laga yaabaa inaysan suurtagal ahayn daabacaadda haddii daabacaha uu ku xiran yahay shabakad kale.

Haddii ay dhacdo in aad haysato daabacaad ku xiran fiilada, kaliya ku dheji daabacaha kumbuyuutarkooda haddii ay mid leeyihiin ama si fudud u isticmaal kumbuyuutarkaaga oo daabac waxa ay u baahan yihiin. Haddii aad leedahay daabacaha wireless-ka oo ay rabaan inay ka daabacaan kumbuyuutarkooda, habka ugu wanaagsan ee tan loo sameeyo waa inaad isticmaasho Google Cloud Print . Ilaa iyo inta ay leeyihiin akoonka Google , waxaad si fudud ula wadaagi kartaa daabacahaaga iyaga oo isticmaalaya email waxayna ka daabacan karaan kumbuyuutarkooda iyaga oo aan ku rakibin darawal ama wax kale!

Waxaan qoray hage dhammaystiran oo lagu dejinayo Google Cloud Print^{(complete guide to setting up Google Cloud Print)} , kaas oo ku socda habka aad u dejisanayso daabacayaashaada si aad uga daabacdo meel kasta oo adduunka ah aalad kasta. Waxa ugu fiican ee habkan ku saabsan waa in uu la shaqeeyo nooc kasta oo daabacaad: fiilo ama wireless, duug ama cusub, ku xiran shabakadaada ama ku xiran kombiyuutarkaaga. Aad bay u fududahay in la habeeyo oo awoodda lagula wadaago qof daabacaha email ahaan waa wax cajiib ah.

Sawir-qaadayaasha, si toos ah ayaad ugu xidhi kartaa kombayutarkooda ama waxaad isticmaali kartaa usha USB oo aad ku xidhi kartaa iskaanka haddii aad haysato nooc All-in-one ka mid ah.

Kombiyuutarrada martida iyo Xisaabaadka

Waxaa jira waqtiyo marka martida ay tahay in ay isticmaalaan mid ka mid ah kombiyuutaradaada si ay u helaan shaqadooda. Xaaladdaas, ikhtiyaarka ugu fiican ayaa ah inaad geliso kombayutarkaaga adigoo isticmaalaya akoon Martida^(Guest) ah. Isticmaalka koontada martida, waxaad ku nasan kartaa inay lahaan doonaan awood xaddidan oo ay ku beddelaan goobaha kombayuutarka iyo ka sii muhiimsan, ma awoodi doonaan inay galaan dukumeenti xasaasi ah, iimaylo, ereyada sirta ah, taariikhda browserka ama wax kale.

Waxa ugu fiican ee ku saabsan koontada martida ee Windows waa in ay ka hortagto isticmaaluhu inuu ku rakibo software, taas oo noqon karta arrin dhab ah haddii aad leedahay qof weyn ama ilmo yar oo raba inuu isticmaalo kombiyuutarkaaga. Ma beddeli karaan wax habayn ah, ku dari karaan qalab ama ma abuuri karaan/badali karaan erayga sirta ah ee xisaabta martida. Aad bay u xidhan tahay mana aha inaad samayso wax kale oo aan ahayn inaad hubiso inaad gasho akoonkaas ka hor intaadan siin iyaga.

Caadiyan koontada martida^(Guest) waa naafo ahaan Windows-ka si caadi ah, laakiin raadinta degdega ah ee Google ayaa ku tusi doonta halka ay ku taal Control Panel- ka aad u baahan tahay inaad aado si aad awood ugu yeelato. Taas ka dib, waxaad arki doontaa koontada martida^(Guest) oo ay weheliso koontada isticmaale ee caadiga ah.

Mac -ka , waxa kale oo aad awood u siin kartaa akoonka isticmaalaha martida . ^(Guest)Kaliya u gudub Nidaamka Dookhyada^{(System Preferences)} , dhagsii Isticmaalayaasha & Kooxaha^{( Users & Groups)} ka dibna awood isticmaal isticmaalaha.

Dabcan, waxaad had iyo jeer u baahan tahay inaad hubiso in isticmaalayaasha ugu muhiimsan ee Windows iyo Mac ay leeyihiin ereyo sir ah, haddii kale qofku wuxuu si fudud uga bixi karaa akoonka martida^(Guest) ka dibna kaliya dhagsii akoonkaaga kale oo gal haddii uusan jirin furaha sirta ah.

Ugu dambeyntii, haddii aad aniga oo kale tahay, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad haysato kombuyuutar hore ama netbook oo aadan isticmaalin. Xaaladdaas, kaliya masax, ku rakib nuqul cusub oo Windows ah , ku rakib daabacayaasha maxalliga ah oo karti u geli koontada martida. Marka qof u baahan yahay inuu isticmaalo kombuyuutar, kaliya sii kaydka, kaas oo xidhi doona oo aad fiicantahay inaad tagto.

Haddii aad leedahay hab kale oo u oggolaanaya martidaada inay galaan shabakadda deegaankaaga, fadlan nagu ogeysii faallooyinka. Ku raaxayso!

OTT Guide to Giving Guests Access to Your Local Network

You have prоbably run into the sitυation many times where a family member or friend visits your hоuse and needs to access somethіng on your netwоrk. Maybe they need a computer to work on a Word doc, maybe they need to print, maybe to scan a document or to Ѕkype or FаceTime with sоmeone.

I have a lot of family that comes over and I don’t really worry about what they can access or not because I trust them. However, when anyone else comes over and stays for a couple of nights, I tend to be much more restrictive. Nowadays you don’t know who has the skills to browse your network and access your computers or devices.

On my home network, I have 5 computers connected, 2 printers, 1 IP cam, 2 routers, a couple of media streaming boxes and a network attached storage device with 2.5 TB of personal data. I mostly worry about people getting access to the NAS device. I could have added a lot of security to it, but that makes it harder for me to use on a daily basis.

Luckily, there are quite a few things you can do to give people access to your local network, but at the same time not really give them access to anything other than the Internet. In this post, I’m going to show you how to really cordon off your network so that when someone you’re not 100% sure about wants to connect to your network or use your computer, you can rest assured they won’t be able to access anything you don’t want them to.

Setting up Guest Networks

If someone wants to connect to your home wireless network from their computer or smartphone, you really can’t prevent any snooping if you give them access to your main wireless network. That means if everything connects to MyHomeNetwork either via ethernet or wireless and you give someone access to that wireless network, they can get access to everything else on the network.

There are ways around to deal with this type of situation such as network isolation, which means no device on the network can talk to any other device on the network, but this will make it impossible for you to use your own network. This is great for public WiFi spots where you don’t want the guy across the table at Starbucks being able to access your computer, even though you’re on the same wireless network. Read my previous post on network isolation for WiFi networks to learn more.

Instead, it’s better to have a separate guest wireless network. Now you can do this in one of two ways: either you activate the guest network feature on your wireless router if it supports it or you buy a really cheap secondary wireless router and connect that up for guests. I have a Linksys Cisco E2500 router at home and what’s great about these routers is that the guest network option is built right in.

Log into your router and go to Wireless and then Guest Access:

Enable the guest network, give it a password, pick the max number of guests that can connect and you’re done! Now guests can access the Internet, but if they start prying around your network, they won’t find any devices or anything else connected to the main network. It basically creates a wall between your network and the guest computer.

Now the only problem with this approach is that it it requires a bit of technical know-how. You have to log into your router, find the correct settings and then enable it. Secondly, a lot of routers don’t have this guest access feature, so then what?

Well, in those cases, you could get yourself a second wireless router and connect it to your network with a different subnet, SSID and password. You can get a used D-Link wireless G router on Amazon for like $14 with shipping. Then you can read my post on how to setup a second wireless router on your home network.

Now the only issue with this is that you would have to connect the second router to the first one most likely. This is because there is really only one cable coming from the main ISP modem to your wireless router. So to connect a second router, you’ll have to have to connect the second router to the first.

However, because of NAT, the two networks will be able to communicate with each other. It’s still better than having just one network because it’s not a trivial task to figure out that a second network exists and to get the information such as the DHCP info for the second network. If you have someone coming over who knows how to hack, there’s really not much you can do at that point anyway unless you make everything super secure, which no one really does.

We are just trying to prevent computers and NAS devices from showing up on someone’s computer when they open Finder or Windows Explorer. That’ll be enough for 99% of the people out there. There is a technical way to make it so that the two networks can’t communicate, but that require using a DMZ and that’s simply too complicated for what I’m trying to show.

So those are your two main options in terms of the wireless network. If your router supports it, the easiest way is to simply turn on the guest network. If not, you can purchase a cheap used router, connect it behind your first router and give it a different SSID and password.

Sharing Printers & Scanners

Outside of an Internet connection, the next major feature people request is printing and scanning. Maybe to print a boarding pass or something like that is usually what I hear. Now if you have users connecting to a separate wireless network in your house, then printing may  not be possible if the printer is connected to a different network.

In the case where you have a printer that attaches by cable, just attach the printer to their computer if they have one or simply use your own computer and print what they need for them. If you have a wireless printer and they want to print from their computer, the best way to do this is to use Google Cloud Print. As long as they have a Google account, you can simply share your printer with them via email and they can print from their computer without having to install any drivers or anything else!

I have written a complete guide to setting up Google Cloud Print, which walks your through the process of setting up your printers so that you can print to them from anywhere in the world from any device. The best thing about this method is that it works with any type of printer: wired or wireless, old or new, connected to your network or connected to your computer. It’s super easy to setup and the ability to share a printer with someone via email is just amazing.

For scanners, you can either connect it to their computer directly or use a USB stick and attach it to the scanner if you have an All-in-one type of device.

Guest Computers and Accounts

There are times when a guest has to use one of your computers to get their work done. In that case, the best option is to log them onto your computer using a Guest account. Using a guest account, you can rest assured that they will have limited ability to change computer settings and more importantly, will not be able to access sensitive documents, emails, passwords, browser history or anything else.

The nice thing about the guest account in Windows is that it prevents the user from installing software, which can be a real issue if you have a younger adult or kid who wants to use your computer. They can’t change any system settings, add hardware or create/change the password for the guest account. It’s pretty much locked down and you don’t have to do anything other than make sure you log into that account before giving them access.

Normally the Guest account is disabled on Windows by default, but a quick Google search will show you where in the Control Panel you need to go to enable it. After that, you’ll see the Guest account alongside your normal user account.

On a Mac, you can also enable a Guest user account. Just go to System Preferences, click on Users & Groups and then enable the Guest user.

Of course, you always need to make sure you main user accounts on Windows and Mac have passwords, otherwise the person could simply log off the Guest account and then just click on your other account and log in if there is no password.

Finally, if you’re like me, you might have an old computer or netbook lying around that you no longer use. In that case, just wipe it, install a fresh copy of Windows, install the local printers and enable the guest account. When someone needs to use a computer, just give them the spare, which will be locked down and you’re good to go.

If you have a different setup for allowing your guests to access your local network, please let us know in the comments. Enjoy!
