One device that is shared on the network is a router. This is the one that will connect the various devices to the shared network.

It is not about the number of devices that are tapped into your network, it's about the amount of resources they are using. If several devices are using a large amount of resources at once, this will impact the performance of your wireless network. anonymous@oola.com

Server
Network switches can connect a computer with other devices, such as a printer, thus creating a network of shared resources. The switch allows these devices to exchange information.
Computer Network is all about sharing Information & Resources amongst Users & Devices within network. Computer Networks enables efficient usage of Resources (Such as printers, scanners etc) so that multiple devices for same functionality aren't required at every user's place. Computer Networks can provide Central Stored information & makes them available to all permitted Network users or devices.
Connections between devices Devices
A host in a peer to peer network can offer resources to other hosts or devices in the network without being a server. If you share a printer, or a folder across the network you are sharing information or resources with other devices; in each case neither system is a server. The ability to do this is built in to most desktop client operating systems.
Integrated network management systems are made up of network monitoring and network analysis tools.
No - a peer to peer network means that every device (even a standalone server) has the same authority in the network. Each device can choose to share resources with other devices in the network. In such a network there really isn't a 'central host' computer, unless you put a file or print or database service on a server that the other devices might want access to.
The most important feature of a network, one word, is the ability to share all the various resources of the devices on the network.
