Home and Small Business Networking
Networking is a term used for connecting two or more computers together. Networks can be simple, consisting of as few as two computers; or networks can be massive -- spanning oceans and continents, and even reaching into outer space.
Why network?Networking is about sharing. Two or more networked computers can be configured to share data and resources. This increases efficiency and keeps costs down. For example:
What's involved in Setting Up a Home or Small Business Network?Home and small business networks generally usually are pretty straightforward and require little more than reasonably modern computers, network cards in each computer, a switch or router to which all of the computers are connected, some cable to connect them all, and a geek who knows how to make the whole thing work. Networks with more than a few workstations (and even very small networks whose users will be using certain software) should be controlled by a server that acts as the workgroup or domain controller, stores and serves files to the clients computers, controls access to the Internet by the client computers, and runs server-side software applications. In cases where running cable would be difficult or impossible, wireless networking may be a solution. Although not as fast or dependable as wired networks, wireless technology is an option when wired networking is impractical.
