is all about sharing -- data, software applications and peripherals such as printers,
modems, fax, CD-ROMs, hard disks and other data storage devices -- among client
computers.&nbsp; A network need not be large, expensive or complicated.&nbsp; In fact, a
network can be as simple as two computers connected by a cable.&nbsp; On the other hand, a
network can encompass multiple servers and many locations.</font></p>

need a network?</font></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000" size="4">A network is the most efficient way
for users to communicate and share information.&nbsp; It cuts costs by eliminating the
need for extra printers, modems and file storage.&nbsp; Users can share common
applications such as accounting systems and personnel databases to work more
efficiently.&nbsp; A network can even have a shared access to the internet, eliminating
the need for separate modems and telephone limes for each user.</font></p>

name implies, the computers are connected to each other and can share such things hard
drive space, CD-ROMs and printers.&nbsp; There is no dedicated file server.&nbsp; A
peer-to-peer network is relatively low cost and works best for sharing peripheral hardware
such as printers.&nbsp; Peer-to-peer networks are not recommended for sharing database
applications such as accounting systems because there is a greater risk of data
corruption.</font></td msimagelist>
