Many ISPs around the world offer their Internet services via what is known as a high-speed PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection. To connect to the Internet via PPPoE, ISPs typically give their customers a unique username and password, which are required to connect to their networks.
The downside of PPPoE is that you have to start the connection manually every time you turn on your computer. This is an annoying inconvenience that many users would like to forget about once and for all. In this article, I will talk about the settings with which a computer with such a connection will automatically connect to the Internet during startup.
1. Start the task scheduler
First of all, we need to launch the regular task scheduler. The easiest and fastest way to do this is to use the system search box. Enter the first few letters of the keyword, and then click on the "Task Scheduler" item in the search results.
In Windows 10, the Task Scheduler can also be launched from the Start Menu: All Applications\Administrative ToolsWindows.
In the control panel, it is located in the following path: Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools.
Regardless of the chosen method, you will see the following window as a result:
2. Schedule automatic connection at login
Now we need to schedule an automatic connection to the Internet every time we log in.
In the task scheduler window on the right, click "Create a simple task."
In the task creation wizard window, enter a task name, for example, "Auto redial". You can also enter a description, but this is not required. Click "Next".
Next, you need to choose when exactly our task should be performed. Since our goal is to have the PPPoE connection automatically connect to the Internet each time we log in, select "When I log on to Windows". Click "Next".
The penultimate stage of creating a task is choosing an action. We want the PPPoE connection to start automatically with Windows. Accordingly, select "Run the program". Click "Next".
And now the most important part of the process - setting up a script that will be executed automatically.
In order for the system to automatically connect to the Internet via PPPoE, you must enter the following information:
- In the Program or Script field, enter the command rasdial.
- The "Add Arguments (Optional)" field must contain the connection name (in quotation marks) and the username and password with a dash in front of them. For example, let's say your PPPoE connection is called www and to connect to it you use the username Ivan and password 123456 . In this case, you need to add the following arguments: " www"Ivan 123456.
Leave the "Working folder" field blank.
At the final stage, you will see a brief description of the created task. Click "Finish".
After closing the wizard, you will be returned to the main task scheduler window, where you will see that your task has been added to the list of other scheduled tasks.
3. We restart the computer and check
Finally, restart your computer to check the result of your actions. If all the steps were followed correctly, the system should connect to the Internet automatically after the reboot. Please note that from now on, each time you log in, a console window will briefly appear on the screen, signaling the start of the connection process.
Have a great day!
Even 5 years ago, the organization of a local connection between several computers meant the purchase of special equipment (switches or hubs), which had to be configured and prepared for the successful functioning of the network. Today, when almost every apartment has a router, or a router that organizes wired or wireless communication between a number of systems, the need to buy third-party equipment has disappeared by itself, because if you set up a connection between computers, it becomes possible to organize file exchange, including with using a local connection.
What is a local area network for? In such a network, one can share movies, music, pictures, play 3D games with live opponents. All these features together make a great help for organizing and setting up a connection, and the very possibility of playing with real people in multiplayer immediately reduces all the time and moral costs for customizing the connection, as well as dissatisfaction from the appearance of possible pop-up pitfalls during setup, to nothing.
In this article, I will tell you how to generate and tune a wired / wireless connection between several nodes on a local network, and what is needed for this.
A prerequisite for organizing a local connection in Windows 10 through a router is already. This article does not cover the configuration of the router, since we have already described the configuration process in a separate article (link above). We will assume that your router is working properly and stably, and no problems (such as periodic connection loss or disconnection) are observed. Also, using the above instructions, you can organize a wired connection bypassing Wi-Fi.
Setting up a LAN connection - detailed instructions
The first thing we need to do is join all computers on the network to the same workgroup. To see which workgroup your selected PC belongs to, right-click on the Start button and select System from the pop-up menu.
In the system properties form that opens, click the "Change settings" button in the section where the computer name and the domain to which this node belongs are indicated. The "Computer Name" tab opens, where, among other information, there is information about the workgroup.
As you can see, my PC belongs to the “WORKGROUP” group. An alternative way to get to the same form is to use the “Win+R” button sequence and enter the sysdm.cpl command. As a result, you will also be taken to the same form.
What if the workgroup names are different on different computers and you need to change the group on one or more of the selected machines? On the same form, click the "Change" button and in the new form that opens, enter the name of the group we need.
When entering the name of the working group, you should not use Cyrillic, use only Latin characters.
Here we check the option "View the status of tasks and the network" in the category "Internet and network connection".
On the form that opens, open the "Change advanced sharing settings" subsection.
Activate the OS permission to manage workgroup connections, printer and file sharing, automatic configuration and PC discovery on the network.
Select the "All network connections" section and check the "Turn off password protected sharing" option there. After that, save all changes by clicking on the save button.
Do the same operations on all systems that you want to connect to the local network, after which we can move on.
How to set up access to file objects and directories on a PC
To organize public access to a folder on the network, you need to right-click on the corresponding directory and select "Properties", after which you should click on the "Access" tab and then - "Advanced settings".
To enable public access to the directory, check the box to allow public access to the directory and click the "Permissions" button. Here, select the users you want to grant access to, and specify which access you want to grant. The most preferred option is "Read only", because if you open access to other users for changes, in the near future you may miss several dozen files in your directory.
Now go to the "Security" tab in the properties of the directory and for the user "Everyone" set access only to read the contents of the directory and to run files in the specified folder so that you can watch movies on any computer with a local connection without first copying them to your PC . To change permissions, click the Edit button for the respective user.
Now, if you did everything correctly, the folders you shared will be visible on other computers connected by a connection to a single local area network.
Thus, you can freely use the shared resources stored on other PCs, thereby saving valuable disk space by not duplicating the same files on multiple nodes. Using a local connection is incredibly convenient, and I dare to hope that you will also appreciate all the advantages and benefits of this approach to storing and using data.
So, let's figure out how to set up the Internet in Windows 10. I want to say right away that this question is quite extensive, so let's start from the very beginning to the very end - from setting up a network card to choosing a browser.
Step #1: Preflight check
First, you need to check if everything is in order with the network card. In other words, whether the driver is installed on it. In most cases, Windows installs it on its own, however, if you have old or unusual hardware, you will have to do this step manually. So, to check if you have a driver for the network, do the following:
- Press Win + X and select "Device Manager" in the menu that appears;
- Expand the "Network adapters" section (it is located almost at the very bottom of the list) and check if your network card is there;
- Also, it does not hurt to pay attention to the "Other devices" section, marked with a yellow triangle, if it contains devices with the names "Network adapter" or "Networkadapter", then you still have to look for a driver.
The "firewood" itself can be found either on the disk with your motherboard, or on the manufacturer's website (this is especially true for laptops). Do not worry if you don’t have a driver for Windows 10 at hand - in 95% of cases, the one that was written for Windows 7, Windows 8 or even Vista will work fine. In this regard, the question of how to set up the Internet in Windows has not changed over the past 10 years.
Step number 2: check the network settings
If your network is configured correctly, then the Internet should start working after installing the driver. Otherwise, in order to “finally configure the Internet in Windows”, we recommend that you check the network card settings.
Step #3: connect to WiFi (if available)
For some, the question of how to set up the Internet in Windows is identical to how to set up WiFi. If you are using a WiFi connection, then you now need to connect to the network. To do this, left-click on the icon with the "ladder" near the clock and, in the window that appears, select your home network. It remains only to enter the password and you are already on the World Wide Web.
Step 4: choose a browser
The matter remains small - to choose a program with which you will surf the Internet. Here I immediately want to say that felt-tip pens are different in taste and color, however, if you want to approach this issue wisely, we recommend that you read the article to the end.
Microsoftedge. This browser has replaced the rather boring Internet Explorer. By the way, the new program works very, very quickly. What's more, it syncs your data with the cloud, so if you use your account on different devices, you won't have to drag around bookmarks and remember passwords. There are also disadvantages - this program does not yet support extensions, so if you need something other than a Flash player, you will have to find something else.
GoogleChrome. Today, this browser occupies a dominant position - it is popular, has a bunch of add-ons and works quite quickly on new PCs, however, if your computer is not very fast, it is better to give preference to the same Edge or Firefox, which we will talk about later. By the way, the popular Yandex.Browser, Amigo, Opera, Uran (pah-pah-pah), as well as many other browsers - are the same chrome, but with a different icon and a couple of additional bells and whistles of varying degrees of crappiness.
Firefox. The oldest of the browsers mentioned here. Fast, versatile and popular. Among the minuses, only the long time of the first launch can be noted, but after the start, it works fine even on old PCs. In addition, there are a huge number of extensions and themes for it, the number of which even exceeds that of chrome.
Hello friends! We continue to understand how to set up the Internet and solve various problems in Windows 10. I have already prepared several useful articles on this topic, I will give links below. Well, in this article we will set up the Internet in Windows 10. Let's talk about setting up a regular network connection, high-speed connection (PPPoE), Wi-Fi networks, and 3G / 4G modems. I think the article will be useful to many. Indeed, after upgrading to Windows 10, not everyone can immediately figure out where and what to configure and how to do it. Yes, and there are times when, after upgrading to Windows 10, the Internet simply does not work. Most likely, you just need to reconfigure the connection.
We know that there are different ways to connect our computer to the internet. In this article I will try to talk about setting up basic connections:
- Setting up a normal Ethernet connection. Connecting the cable directly from the provider to the computer, through a router, or an ADSL modem.
- Internet connection via Wi-Fi.
- Internet setup via USB 3G/4G modem.
Now we will take a closer look at setting up an Internet connection through the connections listed above. You should find out what kind of Internet you have, and you can immediately jump to the desired subheading in this article. Let's start with Ethernet - a very popular way to connect to the Internet.
Ethernet: Internet connection in Windows 10 via network cable (router, modem)
Consider first the simplest connection. If your ISP just ran a network cable into your house, and the provider did not provide a username and password to connect to the Internet, then you have a normal Ethernet connection.
In the same way, an Internet connection is configured in Windows 10 through a router, or an ADSL modem.
To set up such a connection, just connect a network cable from the provider (router or ADSL modem) to your computer (laptop), to the network card slot:
If everything is fine with the Ethernet settings on the computer (they have not been changed), then the Internet should immediately work (you will understand this by the connection status on the notification panel). If the Internet via a network cable does not work, the computer simply does not respond to connecting the cable, then see. I myself have encountered such a problem.
If the connection appeared, but status Limited, or unidentified network, and the Internet does not work, then you need to check the parameters of the Ethernet adapter.
In Windows 10, this is done like this:
We right-click on the status of the Internet connection, on the notification panel and select the item. Next, click on the item in the new window Change adapter settings.
Right click on the adapter ethernet and choose Properties. Select an item from the list IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4). If the checkbox next to this item is not checked, then be sure to check it, otherwise the Internet will not work. So we selected "IP version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" and press the button Properties.
In a new window, we check that automatic settings for obtaining IP and DNS addresses are set, and click Ok.
The internet should be up and running. If not, then restart your computer. If you still can’t establish a connection, then check the cable connection, if there are any problems on the provider’s side, if the router or ADSL modem through which you are connecting is working normally (unless you have a direct connection to an ISP).
If you are trying to set up an Ethernet connection directly from the provider, and the Internet does not want to work for you, then ask your provider if it binds by MAC address. If it does, then you need to tell the provider the MAC address of the computer. He will prescribe it in his settings, and the Internet will work. Few providers use such a binding, but it happens. How to find out the MAC address in Windows 10 read.
That's all, we figured out this type of connection, then we have a high-speed connection.
If your Internet provider has laid a cable into your house and provided you with a username, password, and possibly some other data for connecting to the Internet that you need to set in your computer settings or Wi-Fi router, then you need to configure High Speed on Windows 10. connection (PPPoE). What are we going to do now. In fact, this is the same as Ethernet, just here the Internet will not work until we create connections.
If your Internet connection goes through a router, a connection is configured on it (PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP), then you do not need to configure anything on your computer. It is enough to connect the network cable from the router to the computer. I talked about setting up such a connection above.
If you connect the cable directly to the computer, and you have a username and password to connect to the Internet, then you need to create a connection.
We open Network and Sharing Center:
Click on the item. Then, select the item Internet connection, and click on the button Further.
In the next window, select the item: High speed (with PPPoE).
Next, set the username and password that your ISP should provide you. Also, you can set a name for the connection, for example: "Beeline high-speed connection". And you can also check the boxes next to the items for saving the password, displaying the password and allowing other users to use this connection. I recommend checking the box next to Remember this password.
Click on the button To plug, and if everything is connected correctly and the parameters are set correctly, a connection will be created and an Internet connection will be established.
You can see and manage this connection by clicking on the Internet icon in the notification bar.
Clicking on the connection will open the menu Dialing a number, where you can connect, delete, or edit connection settings.
Internet connection via Wi-Fi
If you have a Wi-Fi router installed at home, or you want to connect your laptop to the Internet at friends, cafes, etc., then you can use Wi-Fi for this. If you already have a driver installed on your Wi-Fi adapter, and Windows 10 almost always installs it automatically, then all you have to do is open the list of networks available for connection, select the one you need, specify the password (if the network is secure) and you are already connected to the internet.
On this topic, I have already written a detailed article:. I think there should be no problems with connecting to a wireless network.
Setting up the Internet via a 3G / 4G modem in Windows 10
It remains only to consider setting up a connection via a USB 3G, or 4G modem. On a Windows 10 computer, setting up such a connection will practically not differ from.
First of all, we need to connect the modem to the computer and install the driver on our modem. The driver can be downloaded from the modem manufacturer's website, from the Internet provider's website, or simply found on the Internet. Search by modem name and model. Also, the driver can be on the disk bundled with the modem, or on the modem itself. If there is no driver for your modem for the Windows 10 operating system, then try to find it for Windows 8, or even Windows 7. Perhaps it will work.
After you have installed the driver, connect the modem to your computer, and you can start setting up a 3G connection on Windows 10. By the way, everything is almost the same as when setting up a high-speed connection.
We open Network and Sharing Center.
Click on Creating and configuring a new connection or network and choose Internet connection.
And we set the parameters provided by the provider: number, username and password. I showed on the example of the provider Intertelecom. I recommend checking the box next to Remember this password. You can set the name of the connection to be arbitrary. When you fill in all the fields, click on the button Create.
If everything is ok, then a connection will be created and an Internet connection will be established.
If the connection fails, then check all the parameters and the connection of the USB modem. It could also be that you have very poor coverage from your ISP. In such cases, the Internet may not connect at all, or it may work very slowly. How to see what signal level you have, and how to increase it, I wrote. In some cases, if the network is very bad, you need.
You can start the created connection, stop, delete, or edit it by clicking on the Internet connection icon and selecting the created connection.
Internet connection status, always displayed on the notification bar. By clicking on it, you can disconnect from the Internet, or start the desired connection.
And a few more words
No matter how you set up the Internet, you may encounter a popular error "Limited". When the Internet is not working, and next to the connection status is a yellow exclamation mark. We dealt with this problem in .
The article turned out to be large, but it seems to be not confusing. I wanted to fully answer the question posed in the title. I hope you found the information in this article useful for yourself and connected your Windows 10 computer to the Internet.
You can ask questions in the comments. Please read this article carefully before describing your problem. Perhaps the solution has already been written. Also, see links to other articles, there is a lot of useful information on the topic.
A question like setting up an internet connection on windows 10, worries many users who like to keep up with the times. This is not surprising, because the vast majority of modern people can hardly imagine their life without a computer, and therefore without the Internet. As technology advances, not only the computers themselves are improved, but also the operating systems. Most recently, everyone rejoiced at the appearance of the seventh and eighth versions of the famous Windows, but before they even blinked an eye, Windows 10 had already appeared in all its glory to the public.
It goes without saying that each subsequent version of Windows is more functional and more perfect than the previous one, so many users immediately wanted to install the “top ten” on their computers. And here the problem arises: the Internet is gone. And you have a logical question: how configure network access on windows 10? Let's talk about it in this article.
Reasons for not having an internet connection
To begin with, we denote in general causes lack of internet connection, because it is quite possible that the “ten” has nothing to do with it, and you should make sure of this. So, there are several reasons for the “loss” of the Internet, namely:
- Damage on the network line - most often the Internet is turned off for this very reason. This may be a break or damage to the wire, the failure of one or another equipment, or something like that. First, call your ISP and make sure everything is in order.
- If Internet connection is provided via a 3G modem or SIM card, then there may be no access to the Network due to the poor network coverage of a particular mobile operator.
- If the Internet connection is via Wi-Fi, the reason for the "loss" of access may be the excessive remoteness of the Wi-Fi router from the computer device.
- Damaged home network cable or connector - check your home wire and connector and make sure they are working.
- Router (router) failure - to make sure that the router is not “to blame”, disconnect it from the network, and after a few seconds turn it on again.
- The network card in the coma or the Wi-Fi adapter has failed - restart the computer device, and remove the adapter from the connector. After a few seconds, put it back in.
- No matter how trite it sounds, but perhaps you forgot to pay the fare? If so, then you know what to do.
So, you have done everything possible and, by elimination, made sure that none of the above reasons is “yours”. In this case, one thing remains: were broken internet connection settings in connection with the reinstallation of the operating system. Well, in that case, you just need to check them again.
Checking adapter properties
If the problem, due to which there is no access to the Network, is software and, accordingly, is solved directly from your computer device, then it can be easily fixed. First of all you need check adapter properties, and it's easy to do so.
First, click on the Internet icon, and then select "Network Settings". Here you will need the “Ethernet” item, and in it select the “Configure adapter settings” line.
A window will open in front of you where you select the desired network, then right-click on the "Properties" button, then again on the "Properties" button. Another window will open where you need to check if the "birds" are marked next to IP version 4 and IP version 6. If the checkboxes are "off" - check them again. The Internet may not be working due to not getting an IP address.
Internet connection settings
Suppose you find out that everything is fine with the IP address, the checkboxes are safely in place, but the Internet still does not work. In this case, you need to create new connection in windows 10 following the instructions.
On the monitor on the right, find the Network icon and right-click on it, and then select the "Network and Sharing Center" line. A window will open in which you should select the item "Create a new connection or network".
You will see a list from which you select the line "Connect to the Internet", then click the "Next" button. The system may inform you that the connection to the Network has already been made, but you insist and click on the line "Create a new connection anyway", then select "High-speed connection".
A new window will appear in which you will need to enter the information specified in the contract with the provider, namely:
- username (entered in Latin lowercase letters);
- home address (words are separated by a lower dash);
- password (the one indicated in the contract).
Then check the "Remember password" box. In the "Connection name" section, enter any name for the shortcut (for example, "Internet" or "network"), then click the "Connect" button. When the cherished connection is completed, click on the "Close" button.
Now you know, how to set up internet on windows 10 and it's not as difficult as it seems. But if something didn’t work out for you, just contact your provider and call the wizard who will make all the settings and answer all your questions. Enjoy the Internet and the power of Windows 10!
