Networking

A Local Area Network is also known as LAN or Network.

A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers that are interconnected by wire, fiber or radio waves, and/or other equipment and software. The LAN allows computers to electronically exchange information and share computer resources within a limited geographical area.

If you have two or more computers (desktop and/or laptop computers) you may want to network them together to create your own home or office local area network (LAN). Having a network will enable your computers to share files, printers, Internet access and peripherals, among other things. You'll need only one printer for both you and the kids and only one modem (and phone line) to access the Internet. Many game titles include a multiplayer option, so you and the kids can play games together even from opposite ends of the house. It also means that everyone can share frequently accessed and often changed files, such as contact lists, customer databases, sales orders and invoices, and word-processing documents.
