The Home Computer Network and Internet Guide
10 years ago very few households had a home computer. Today most small
businesses and households have several.
Even 5 years ago many people did not see a need for an Internet connection at home.
Today the main reason people buy a computer/laptop is to connect to the Internet.
This has created a growing need to create a home computer network to share
files, printers and to connect to the Internet.
The aim of this site is to help home users and small business owners to:
- Setup a home network .
- Setup a Internet Connection.
- Configure and maintain a home network and Internet connection
- Make effective use of their network and the internet.
- Understand basic computer, network and Internet technologies.
Home Networks
The home Network is still in its infancy. It has grown from a need to connect computers and laptops together to exchange files and share printers.
However this is only the beginning. Games like PS2 and Xbox can be connected to the Internet, and so will an array of future devices that are bound to come along that will download and store music and video from the internet.
Not to forget the humble telephone which will soon be replaced by the IP phone.
The home computer network will form the hub for your internet connection as it makes no sense giving each device its own Internet connection, instead they will share one.
Internet Use
Today most people use the Internet for email and browsing.
It will over the coming years become increasing important for home users and small businesses for both communications (email, ip phones, online meetings) and for software and services ( banking, home security, online accounting, payroll etc).
It is also likely to become the main source of entertainment and news.
Your Virtual Computer Network and Internet Consultant
I know from personal experience that many small business owners, and individuals have difficulty setting up their home computers to use the internet, and to share and transfer files between their own computers.
However getting a network professional to help can be expensive.
The aim of this site is to provide help and advice to individuals and small businesses that cannot afford an Internet/network consultant, but are looking for help and guidance to setup, configure and use their computer network and the Internet.
I hope to cover most of what you may need in articles/tutorials and online videos on the site but feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
