A. HP Open View will do what you need. There are several programs with "Auto Network Discovery". To write your own you would start with a program like Wireshark to listen for the multicast and broadcast packets from the workstations, printers, hubs, switches, routers and build a network topology diagram. Start with Wireshark ... Wireshark r is available under the GNU General Public License.

A. you need vpn software like the cisco vpn client. then you need to identify the traffic types that will be using the vpn tunnel, this is typically referred to as the "interesting" traffic. once you have identified the interesting traffic, you need to agree upon a method of security or "security association" to use. MD5 is commonly used. the security association encrypts the traffic via a pre-shared key known only by the hosts that are parties to the vpn.

How could you start a private network for your computers at home without getting another ethernet cable?
Q. If I had lots of computers and laptops laying around in my house and they're all on the internet, how can I start a private network with each? I don't have any extra ethernet cables either. I have the new AT&T internet and a couple spare old modems. Can I use those to start a private network just by switching the ethernet cables?
Asked by RANDALL D - Sun Feb 8 17:25:45 2009 - Computer Networking - 2 Answers - Comments
A. From all PCs an Ethernet cable goes into a router. From the router one cable goes into the modem. When the router has no switch functionality then you must attach all the Ethernet cables from the PCs into a switch in order to make the PCs reachable for each other. The switch is connected to the router (with an Ethernet cable). The router distributes the internet traffic from and to the right computer in your home.

Asked by Im4you - Wed Jun 11 04:27:03 2008 - Computer Networking - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Hello, if you are going to be connecting them on a network without internet, it is pretty simple. First-off, you need a Network Switch. I would go with a 5 or 8 port, just for future expansion. You will also need 3x CAT5 UTP flyleads (ethernet cables), all the above is available at your local computer store. I assume your computers all already have network cards or a built in ethernet port on the motherboard. If not, you will need to have an ethernet card installed in each machine. Then, once everything is hooked up, power up Windows and go into Network Connections, right-click on the Local Area Connection, go to TCP/IP, click on Properties, and click on Use the following IP address. At machine 1, use ip 192.168.0.1, at machine 2, 192.168.0 [cont.]

How can I physically connect two computers and create a "network"?

I know I can do so with a hub, but surely there's a way to just directly hook one up to the other and go off that, right? For clarification, I don't want to make the computers share resources, just get them to recognize the other as a separate computer and play games/transfer files like any other LAN. Possible for little money?
