Networking Solutions
Overview
Networking
is basically joining two or more computers either by Ethernet cable or
wirelessly so that common features (files, printers, Internet
connection) can be accessed by those computers.
A home network offers
convenience for users in the same household and is needed if you have
multiple computers and desire to access the same files, use the same
printer, or play networked (LAN) games between two computers in the same
house.
