These networked computers can share a single Internet connection, data files, even music and multi-player games. And there's also the added security of a built-in firewall to prevent outside intrusion. An integrated print server allows multiple PCs to easily share one printer - no dedicated PC is required.

The Installation Essentials CD makes setup a snap, and the HTML Web-based configuration utility will make this process even easier!
