Networking
for Home and Business
With
the price
of computers at an all-time low, many households today are
enjoying the benefits of owning more than one computer. If you are a
multi-PC household/office, or are considering adding a PC to your
existing set-up, now might be the perfect time to build a network.
Just
by linking your computers together you can:
Eliminate
waiting in line to access the Internet. Share an Internet connection.
Traditionally, most Internet accounts are priced for only one computer.
If you want to add computers, you must pay an additional monthly charge
per computer. However, a home network allows multi-users to
simultaneously surf the Internet from multiple computers. By paying for
only one Internet connection, all your computers, including laptops, can
be online at the same time.
Save
money and space on computer peripherals and files.
Why pay more than once for the same piece of equipment? A home network
allows you to use multiple computers and share a printer, scanner,
digital camera, or other peripheral. You can also share files such as
digital images, spreadsheets, and documents, play games that allow
multiple users at different computers, and send the output of a device
like a DVD player or Webcam to other computers.
Protect
your computing activities and assets.
When setting up a home network you should build in a level of security
with a "firewall" that protects your network from intruders
and hackers. You can also monitor and restrict Web sites to protect your
children and family. For further information see our Family
Computing Section.
Convenience,
convenience, convenience!
No more carrying floppy disks from computer to computer! With a home
network in place, you can share files, play games, and transfer data
from one computer to another without running back and forth. Family
members can check e-mail, bank or shop online, play Internet games,
download music, instant message, all at the same time. Dad can check
share prices, Mum can balance the budget, and little Billy can do his
history report — all at the same time and without "bumping'
someone else off the computer.
Telecommuting
and home offices made easy.
More and more, people are working from home by taking advantage of home
office networking technology. You can access your network from multiple
locations, eliminating the time and space restrictions that often get in
the way of productivity. And, you can conduct your business without
interrupting the computer activities of others in the household.
