The benefits of home-based networks are clear: First, users are able to save time because they can share files. A home-based network can also help users slow the advance of the obsolescence beast-even the oldest home PCs can benefit from the larger hard drive and new color printer sitting down the hall in Dad's study. Surprisingly, setting up a home network is relatively easy. For users with five systems or less, a basic peer-to-peer network is likely to suffice. For this type of network, users will need to purchase a network interface card (NIC) and a network operating system, such as Windows 95/98. To keep things as easy on you (and your customers) as possible, try to steer customers toward a solid plug-and-play NIC that is Novell NE2000-compliant. They will also need the right cabling: 10BaseT coaxial or "thin net" usually functions well in the typical SoHo network.
