Advantages: Makes your old computers into pentiums three

Disadvantages: NA

I’ve recently installed a peer-to-peer network in my home. I can't believe I didn’t do it before

I guarantee you can't lose. You can get your old 386 from the cupboard and put them in your sons or daughter bedroom and they act like Pentium three.

The Peer-to-Peer network is simple and inexpensive. Each node connects to a hub, thus forming the LAN. Every computer on the network is a peer, which means each PC can share files and access the hard drive of any other computer on the system. Allowing your old 386 becoming powerful

No computer on the system controls the network or has priority over any other. Plus, all the software you need is built into operating systems like Mac OS and Windows 95 or later.
Peer-to-peer networks are

· Simple
· Low Cost
· Easy to install
· Best for smaller businesses
· Cumbersome for finding, retrieving and storing files

So remember if you want to network your home up or you’re small business considers a Peer-to-Peer network. The best thing is that no file server is needed.
