Streaming audio and video files
With a network, you can store audio files (such as the popular .MP3 files)
and video files on any networked computer, then play them on any of
the other computers or devices connected to your network. This process
is called streaming.
Playing multi-player games
With a home network, you can play multi-player games. Load a game
like Microsoft Racing Madness 2 on your computers, and in minutes, you
and your friends can race in competing cars or on competing
motorcycles.

Using a wireless network

A wireless network is ideal for creating a home or office network because
it lets you move about your home or office with your notebook. For
example, you can take your notebook from your home office to your
patio without losing a connection to your network.
