-Here I have set IP address   169.255.1.1 you can set any another IP address.

-Subnet Mask will be automatically set by computer.

And then click ok button




 Step -4

Do same things on another computer.

Step-5

Go to Command prompt.

And type following commands

               ping (and destination PC’s IP address)

  PING - Packet InterNet Groper

Packet Internet Groper is a computer program that is used to test the network connectivity between two systems. These systems can be a normal Personal computer, a Large Server, Router, switch or a gateway. It was created to verify whether a specific computer on a network exists on not.


How does PING works

A series of packets are sent form one system to another over a network to test its connectivity, in order to generate a response from the other system. The other system reply with an acknowledgment. This will tell the sender that these two systems are connected with each other, through an existing network.
A single PING can measure the connectivity based on multiple parameters including minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip time.

 




-Note

1)  When you will see packet: Sent=4, received=4, lost=0(0% loss) this massage indicates you have successfully LAN.

2) Sometimes you will see (25% loss) or (50% loss) then do step 4 until it will show (0% loss) otherwise change IP address of any one computer and do

Step-6

Step-7

Do this activity on another (copy data from this computer) computer,

Now double click on network icon (this is available on Desktop) and select other computer name 

                (There you will see the name of both computers).
