A network is a group of computers, printers, and other devices connected together to enable communication between them. The devices on a network can be connected in a variety of ways. The devices on a network can be physically connected by wires or connected by wireless technology. The iPAQ Music Center now introduces home networking to familiar home consumer electronics.

The most common reason for home networking is to share resources between devices on the network. For example, if your home has only one printer, every PC in the house can use this printer, replacing the need to purchase and maintain multiple printers. With the rise of broadband home Internet access, a popular reason to set up a home network is to share the high speed Internet connections that DSL and Cable modems provide.
