What is a small inexpensive device that joins multiple computers together?

There are loads! USB cables with double A type connectors can, WiFi can be used either directly or indirectly via a router/hub. Serial cables can be used to do a direct transfer although it has a slow baud rate. You can use 2 network cables vis a hub, switch or router - you can also use a single network cable if its a crossover cable. You can use bluetooth, Infa-red or any other number of wireless mesiums. I've used an old parallel printer cable before! Either way - you need 3 common elements to do a transfer: - A physical connection - the hardware used to make the transfer - A logical connection - a common language (or protocol) for the physical hardware to 'talk' with and - An application connection. usually an operating system, FTP program, web browser, firmware - something to build and deconstruct the data sent over the connection


The arrangement of the computers in a network is called the?

Without knowing a bit more about the context, probably "topology".Common network topologies are ring, star, bus and mesh.


How you can connect several computer by networking?

Depends on which topology you are used i.e Ring, Bus, Mesh or Star. Like in Ring topology each node is connected to 2 nodes on either side and is suitable for small network. In Star topology there is a central node to which all other nodes are connected, data is transferred from source node to central hub and then to destination node. In Bus topology one long cable act as a back bone to link all the devices and is reliable from hardware point of view.
