Home and Small Office Networking
The Network Setup Wizard includes a checklist and steps to guide you through the process of sharing
resources, such as files, printers, or an Internet connection, between computers in a home or small office. In
Windows XP, Microsoft has improved the online documentation and usability of operating-system tools for
setting up a home or small office network. New features in the operating system include support for the
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and a built-in firewall.
