Linking computers to create a network greatly expands their capacity and can even save you money. Does your home contain two or more computers? By networking them, you can:  

• Share a single Internet connection: By sharing one Internet connection, you can simultaneously surf the Web on your computer while another family member checks e-mail, does homework or surfs the web on a different computer.
   

• Monitor internet activity: Our networking packages allow you to monitor internet activity on ALL your computers. You can get daily, weekly or monthly reports delivered to your email account that lists all visited websites. You will be able to block websites based on content or URL (website address). You even have the option to receive instant alerts anytime a user tries to access a blocked website.
   

• Protection from hackers: Protect your home network from internet hackers by creating a secure barrier called a firewall, the same as that used by businesses. All our products come with  firewall protection, the industry standard for network security.
   

• Share  printers, scanners, and other hardware: You may have a printer that is connected to a computer in another room. With home networking, you can access this printer from your computer. You no longer have to copy a file onto a floppy disk and take it to the computer that has the printer.
   

• Share files and folders: Suppose your child asks you to look at the school report that is located on the computer in his or her bedroom. When computers are networked together you can, for instance, you can open the file from your computer, make changes, and then save the file on your child’s computer.
   

• Play multi-computer games: By networking and sharing an Internet connection, family members can play games on separate computers with each other or on the Internet. And while they're playing, you can be surfing the Web on your computer.

But to get all these benefits  you must link your computers together, by installing appropriate hardware in each and by joining the computers with wires or by means of wireless technology.
