WORKGROUP NETWORK A workgroup network, also called a peer-to-peer, is commonly used for home and small business networks. In this type of setup, computers communicate directly with each other and share resources. The computers in a workgroup are called peers because they are all equal. Each user decides on the resources their workstation will share with others on the network. Resources that could be shared include printers, scanners, folders and files. Advantages of Workgroup: * Easy to set-up for small networks * No need for a dedicated network administrator * Less expensive to set up * Can easily share files, folders, printers etc.
