Connect them thru a switch and/or router.
That would be 1.... 2 computers, 1 network.
Networking of computers is a fast changing subject. There is no 1 answer

1) LAN: local area network 2) WAN: Wide area network 3) MAN: Metropolitan area network
yes if the computers are connected via a (RJ45) network cable then they can share resources such as internet
From Rachna- Answer to Computer NetworkTo Exchange/ Share Data between two or more computers they are linked together using some mediator which can be cables/ Modem. Two or more computers are Interlinked using cables so that they can access to common data. for example if organisation has laser printer which is costly to be shared between 2 or more computers then thru cables computers are linked to printer so both computer can use that printer. There are various types of network according to geograpical area covered by this networks These networks areLANMANWAN
Yes, you can if both computers have/had windows xp.
You have to have: 1 home computer that you don't turn off much, a wireless router, and another computer to connect with. Plug in the router to the "server" computer and go to Network and Sharing center. Setup wireless network WITHOUT internet connection. Both computers have to be in the same Workgroup.
A network is any collection of independent computers that communicate with one another over a shared network medium. A computer network is a collection of two or more connected computers 1) LAN (Local Area Network) 2) WAN (Wide Area Network) 3) MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) 4) VPN (Virtual Private Network) 5) Internet 6) Intranet
1. Go buy a piece of equipment called a "hub" or "switch" and some "ethernet cables" 2. Hook the computers to the hub with the cables. 3. Next you'll have to figure out how to assign your IP addresses. Note, if you buy a "small home/office router" you just set all of the computers to use a network configuration called "DHCP." It's under your "network bindings"
1. A router and modem that can take that many computers 2. A lot of switches (although I have heard of business models that serve about 50 computers at a time)
The purpose of a server for a network is to provide a communications between the Internet and your computer (in other words it serves as a way to allow others outside of your home network to communicate with your computer)
