Using a home network

Sharing drives
With a home network, you can copy files from computer to computer by
copying and pasting or dragging and dropping. You will no longer waste your
time transferring files by using diskettes. In addition, you can map a drive from
a remote computer on the network to a drive on a local computer, and access
the file as if it were located on the hard drive of the computer you are using.
Sharing a printer or scanner
Each computer that is connected to the home network can share the same
printer or scanner. Select print from the computer you are currently using and
your file is automatically printed on your printer no matter where it is located
on your network.
Playing multi-player games
With a home network, you can play multi-player games. Load a game like
Microsoft Midtown Madness 2 on your computers, and in minutes, you and your
friends can race in competing cars through the streets of San Francisco.
