Managing network profiles

In the View Your Active Networks section, shown in Figure 7, you can see that the current network is listed as Private Network. In Windows 8, you can choose from three network profiles:

  • Domain A network connection type of Domain indicates that the computer is joined to the company’s Active Directory domain. The Domain network type is automatically detected.

  • Private A private network is one that you control or trust. For example, if your company does not have an Active Directory domain but has many computers, the network connections would most likely be configured as Private.

  • Public A public network connection is one that is used in a public place. For example, if you’re visiting a coffee shop or other location with free Wi-Fi, you would configure the connection as Public.

The type of network you select matters. Windows 8 enables you to create firewall rules that depend on the type of network to which you’re connected. For example, public networks are generally considered hostile environments from a security perspective. For a public network you might have a much more restrictive set of firewall policies than you would for a domain network or a private network.

In addition, the network profile you select has a direct impact on how various assets are shared on the network. For each network location, you can control what is shared by clicking the Change Advanced Sharing Settings link at the left side of the window. When you select this link, the Advanced Sharing Settings dialog box opens. This dialog box displays the details for the current profile. Figure 8 shows the default details for the Private network type.

There are three primary areas of information in the Advanced Sharing Settings window:

  • Network Discovery When Network Discovery is enabled, the Windows 8–based computer can find other devices on the network and is itself visible on the network. This feature plays a prominent role in sharing resources such as documents and printers. When this feature is disabled—which is often the case for security reasons—the Windows 8–based computer doesn’t seek out and display network resources and doesn’t advertise itself on the network. However, even when Network Discovery is disabled, the Windows 8–based computer can use resources shared by other computers or servers on the network, but the administrator or person using the computer needs to know the network path to access those resources.

  • File And Printer Sharing When File And Printer Sharing is enabled, the Windows 8–based computer can share its resources on the network. This feature accompanies Network Discovery. Network Discovery makes shared resources visible on the network, whereas File And Printer Sharing is the mechanism by which those resources are shared.

  • HomeGroup Connections In non-domain environments, Windows 8 provides HomeGroup functionality, which streamlines the process of sharing resources on smaller or home networks. HomeGroup connections are not available for public networks.
