Internet Connection Sharing


The rapid advancements in computer power, coupled with plunging prices of computer harware, have made LAN's, once the exclusive pervue of medium to large business, a viable option for both small business and homes with multiple computers. No longer are siginificant capital outlays for state-of-the-art servers and networking software a prerequsite-chances are you already have most everything you need to network (share) printers, faxes, modems, internet connections and data files.
Networking for Homes and Families - Home Networks - Starting at < $100
A battle is raging in many households today-everybody wants access to the all technology in the household at the same time. In the past the only solution was to purchase additional printers, phone lines, internet accounts, etc For less money than would be required to duplicate the equipment and services you already have (assets probably sitting idle most of the time), you can easily connect your current hardware with a simple peer-to-peer network

Print to any printer in your home from any computer in your home-connect to the Internet from any computer in your home through one common internet connection of any type (dial-up, DSL or cable)-monitor and control your childrens activities on the Internet (with or without their knowledge)-simply and easily. If you're running any version of Windows, you already have the networking software. If your computer is a relatively newer one, the Network Interface Card (also called the "NIC" or Ethernet Card) is probably built-in to your computer. Contact us and we'll detail for you what's left.
Networking for Small Business
From a technical standpoint, the architecure of a small busniess network is no different than a home network. Likewise, the benefits derived from the network (shared printers, internet connections, etc.) are similar. Perhaps the greatest benefit of networking in the small business arena is the consolidation of your vital information (data files, databases, forms, brochures) into one central location, accessable to all. Once consolidated, access can be granted/denied to the appropriate employees as you choose. Also, one backup of one computer safeguards all the information your company depends on. Those of us who have been around for a while have all seen an oranization crippled by the death of one employee's computer, such as the computer used by you, the owner. Eliminate this weakness with a simple peer-to-peer network, coupled with a likewise simple "disaster recovery" plan. Contact us for the details.
