1-Benefits of a NetWork:
If you have more then one Computer at home then making a NetWork between then making
a NetWork between them gives you lots of benefits such as :
A-Sharing a Printer Or sharing a CD Driver.
B-Sharing files between the computers insted of plasing them on CD's Or Zip Disk's.
C-Sharing one Internet line between two computers or more.
D-Playing Multiplayer games over the NetWork. c00l eh :P
===============================================
2-What type of netWork you need:
When it comes to local netWork "LAN" you have many options to link the computers to each
othere,Where they can share files ad resources between them.
Chosing the type of netWork depens on many things,If you have a loptop PC and keep moving
around the house,Then Wireless NetWork is good for you,If not then you must want a fast
NetWork,In that case "Ethernet" is the best for you.
Ethernet is the most commen NetWork's around,It has very high speed's,As it starts form
10 MB in a second,Or 100 MB per second on "Fast Ethernet",Or 1000 MB per second on
"Gega Ethernet",Most new computers and Mac computers have "Ethernet" outputs for making
home NetWorkds.
===============================================
3-Things you need to make a NetWork between two computers:
A-Two Ethernet Cards.
B-A Cross Cable.
Now you must think : Only!!-->well waith untell you read on.
==============================================
4-How to Chose the Ethernet Cards:
There are many types of "Ethernet" Cards also known as "NIC",As for home computer most
NetWork cards come wiht a "PCI" input and there is wiht "USB" input.
If you are going to use a laptop computer then get a NetWork card with a "PCMICA" input.
You must also make sure that the card workds with the OS that you are going to use,NOT
get a NetWork card only for Unix and use it on a Windows 9.x
============================================
5-How to chose the Cables:
As i said befor using "Ethernet" NetWork you need Cables,Clables come in rolles but dont
come with Connectors at the end of them,You must buy them and fix them at the end of each
cable.
In order to do that a small step is required,You need to remove the coviring of the cable
wire,After you do that you will find small wires each with a different color.
You must put each color wire in the right plase in the connector.
How to know?? Simple,
The connectors have colored plases in them,Put each color of the wires of the cable in the
right color plase in the connector.
It may be the best cables to make an "Ethernet" netWork are "CAT5e" cables,As they have
great speed,They can transfer data in the speed of 100 MB per secound.
