Small Business Network

Setting up a network is a great way to get more use out of your computers and peripherals, and to have more fun with them. With a network, you can:

Share a single Internet connection among multiple computers.
Share files among computers.
Use a printer connected to a different computer.

Wireless Network

As broadband technology becomes more widespread, the demand for a higher level of functionality and convenience is growing. Wireless Local Area Networks (also known as Wireless LANs, or WLANs) are becoming increasingly common.

Wireless LAN technology is changing the face of local area networks. The majority of Wireless LANs are based on a technology generally known as 802.11b, its IEEE specification number. The trademarked name Wi-Fi has become synonymous with 802.11b (and is much easier to remember).

A wireless local area network gives you the functionality of a traditional ethernet network but with more flexibility. Data rates are comparable, with the added freedom of mobility for users. Data is transferred over a radio frequency, which eliminates the need for messy and costly cables and patching.

Wi-Fi technology provides a high-speed connection to your local area network, allowing users to move freely around the business environment whilst maintaining a local and an Internet connection. Data can be sent and received at speeds ranging from 1, 2, 5.5, and up to 11 Mbit/s, using three channels and coded, single tone modulation. An 802.11b network can operate at distances up to 100 meters.

VPN Network

For the Small Office / Home Office (SOHO), Windows XP Professional VPN (Virtual Private Network) features are a real boon. Travelling users with laptops or handheld computers will inevitably want files on the home network; you just can't bring everything with you. This is where the beauty of the Windows XP Professional computer connected to an always-on connection, such as DSL or cable modern, shines. That always-on link can be used to accepting incoming VPN connections and allow your mobile users to access shared folders and files on your private network.
