networks

Pretty much everyone has run into the problem of not being able to connect to the network. What is "the network" and how does it work? Well its fairly simple. First off you need more than one computer and a router which is your hardware. Next you need software that makes it possible to connect to another computer and finally you need a pathway or cable for the information to travel from one computer to another. you are able to share many things when networking such as Files and documents, an Internet connection, printers, print servers and scanners stereos, TVs and game systems and CD burners. Many people prefer to avoid the hassles of cables and use a wireless router for convenience.
