Capabilities of computer slave Windows 7

How can I reach a machine version of windows earlier than a Windows 7 system that is connected to the internet through a router?  The oldest machine must not be connected to the internet, but need wireless access to printers and scanners?

Your local network will have its own range of address normally 192.168.X.Y of two X values will be common to all PC, but may depend on how the router is configured, there could be anything 1-254.

Normally this address will be assigned by the router as well as a value known as the default gateway. This indicates that the PC when it wants to connect to a location outside your network (internet for example) to go to this gateway to connect routers that is.

If you set the default gateway to another address then the PC can no longer connect to the internet but will still be able to see all local devices.

For example. If the DHCP active values are:

IP address: 192.168.0.32

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS server: 192.168.0.1

To assign manually:

IP address: 192.168.0.192

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 127.0.0.1

DNS server: 192.168.0.1

This will allow the PC to always resolve (DNS) addresses if you do not have to wait for delays to occur, but connect to itself (127...) trying to access the internet so will fail. Nothing else on the local network can always be connected to.
