Your Home Computer Network
Security and OptionsAlthough computer networking is
not really new, the technology is new, attractive, and affordable.
Many homes now find themselves with more than one computer. Since it has
become increasingly easier to acquire a new computer, a new one often
arrives before the old one goes out. Almost all new
computers nowadays come with networking capability. And with the
popularity and envelop of broadband Internet, a viable option is to
network these machines. Networking Home Computers is Easy
The networking gear available for home and small office uses make it easy
to share the resources between multiple computers.
Most common is the sharing of a printer and an Internet connection.
A printer can be easily shared on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP by on a Workgroup
arrangement between 10 or fewer machines, or on a domain.
An Internet connection can be shared by means of Internet Connection
Sharing through one machine or through a router. If
you have a broadband connection and want to share the connection between
two or more computers at home, your ISP most likely has that option
available... Maybe for extra charge. However, you can
set up your home network by yourself. Links to More Information
