Computer networking - getting connected at home, between computers, and to the outside world.

A home network is simple to create and makes your computers more useful. You can share a single printer, easily move files from one location to another, and most importantly share the (high-speed) connection to the internet. Each computer can be accessing the internet simultaneously.

We recommend that you go wireless. It is simple enough, cost-effective enough, and extremely convenient. If you can, choose the Wireless G standard for its wide-spread support and speed. Be certain to protect your network by turning on the wireless encryption protocol (WEP) and be sure to change your system passwords from their factory defaults. It's easy and smart.
