Networking
According to our partner, The Best Buy Learning Place, home networking can link your computers and peripherals fast and easy, allowing for multiple users to share common equipment.

Possibilities
  • Install and use a home network to share a printer, copier, scanner, and more
  • Play networked games with each other at home, or with others around the world.
  • Split one Internet connection between two or more computers
  • Add a new computer to the network for file transfers and CD burning
  • With a wireless network, use your notebook anywhere in range without being tied down
  • Home networks can use direct cable, Ethernet, wireless and even phone-line connections
Features and Benefits
  • Use a firewall to protect your internal network from the Internet
  • Never tie up a phone line to use the Internet
  • Transfer files from computer to computer, around the home or around the world
  • Networks are perfect for home businesses
Fun Fact
  • Most games that can be played over the Internet can also be played on a home network. While slow Internet connection speeds can make your character seem like he or she is swimming through molasses, this lag is seldom a factor for a home network.
