You can have as many users you want on an enterprise network provided you have the ip address range for any number of applications. This can be unlimited if properly designed by using sub net addressing or by using a deferred addressing techniques. However care must be taken and follow strict designed rules otherwise there can be clash of addressing standards.
A network is not limited to any number of computer. internet is also a network that has infinite number of computers attached to it. So there is no limit for adding computers to a network there could be as many as you want.
A minimum of two computers can be a network - the maximum number is all the computers connected to the World Wide Web.
At least two. However most networks contain far more than that.
The minimum amount is two computers. This would more than likely be a LAN (Local Area Network).
As many as you want
Each computer needs a network card (NIC); you need a hub or switch; and for every computer you need a network cable to connect to the switch.
network
they need to create plans for LANs, WANs, and intranets
It is not true. Two computers or devices connectes to each other are in a "network". A basic home network would consist of a bunch of computers and phones connected to a switch via either cable or wirelessly.
To connect a computer to other computers (i.e. to a network) you need a network adapter, also called a Network Interface Card. This adapter should be suitable for a network which you want to connect to. Wireless adapters are for wireless networks, wired adapters are for wired networks.A network connection.if its file sharing a local network over your lan, or if its a game, social networking site on the internet its the internet.A network card connnects to a router (wireless or LAN) the the router connects to other computers or a modem (intranet-telephone interface)
You will need a router, wireless adapter, to have a network connecting computers
Buy a lan router, they can be used with lan cable or wireless to connect all your computers through a network. If there are only two computers that you wish to connect then you only need on lan cable which you connect in the back of each of those two computers to create a network.
Define a topology you want to use (star, bus, ring), then connect the computers using CAT-5/Ethernet cables. Then set up the computers from Network Connections. That is the basics of it.... You will need possibly require a router/switch/hub...
It's correct, routers do not need to be connect to any computer to work. But if you want to create a network using a router you have to connect computers to it.
Yes it does if you need a network that will support up to 10 computers.
A computer network - is two or more computers linked together. It's useful - because computers can communicate 'live' with each other. Additionally - If computers are networked, you only need one printer. All the computers on the network 'share' the printer between them.
You need: * 5 Computers * A at least 5 ports switch * 5 adequate long CAT5 cables to connect switch and computers Connect one end of every cable to the switch. And the other ends to computers. Power up the switch. Be sure all computers are in the same WORKGROUP.
for connecting 4 computers you would need a "hub"(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_hub), and a cat5 cable to connect each computer to the "hub". each computer would also need a "network card"(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_card), alot of modern computers come with a network card integrated so you may not need to purchase it separately.
In it's simplest form, in order to create a network of computers all you need is 1 cross-over cable and connect it to another PC. In more complex situations, you may require the use of routers, switches, IP Routing protocols such as EIGRP, OSPF, or even BGP if you are working at an ISP level.
An wireless internet router. (For example Sky, BT, TalkTalk and many more)
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)
To create a functional network with a switch you will need a DHCP server either from a router plugged into the switch or from an actual server that has DHCP installed on it. The function a switch brings to a network is to provide more ports for additional computers, when multiple machines are plugged into a network they need addresses in order to communicate. A DHCP server (from a router or traditional server) will provide an IP address to multiple machines thus assigning addresses that the computers can use to communicate on said network. A home router such as some made by Linksys or D-link should be sufficient to provide 12 computers with ip addresses. Just plug the router into the switch with the 12 computers and set the DHCP range for atleast 12 IP addresses.
