Creating a Simple Network

If you have two or more computers in your home or office, connecting them via a network lets you cooperate, collaborate, and make the most of your hardware. You can share files, printers, and even access the Internet from all of your computers through your network.

While networking was once a complicated matter, Windows 95, 98 and later versions, along with hardware like Belkin networking products have made networking very easy to do for everyone. The following section of this manual will help you set up a simple network in your home or office. If you are connecting to a larger, existing network, it is recommended that you consult your network administrator (the person who originally set up the network) for instruction on how to connect additional computers to the network.

There is a wide variety of network hardware available, ranging from simple and inexpensive to very complex; however, for most home and small offfice network needs, the hardware required is basic.
