Pat Lee’s Home Network
• Pat Lee is a vice president at FBP
• Wants a network in her home
– Family’s main computer is the downstairs PC
– Daughter Emily has a PC in her room
– Wants to connect both to the Internet through a
broadband (high-speed) cable modem service
• Perspective
– A small LAN but has all the key network elements

Perspective
• Pat Lee would like to serve the upstairs computer
wirelessly
• This requires a wireless access point connected to
the router or built into the router
• The upstairs computer must have a wireless NIC
• The downstairs computer, which is next to the
access router, will still be connected via UTP
• If a separate wireless access point is used, it must
be connected to the access router via UTP

Configuration
Not in the
Book
• Each computer must be configured for
communication with the outside world. See Chapter
1b for details.
• Each computer must be configured for file and print
sharing. See Chapter 1b for details.
• The access router has a built-in webserver,
allowing either of the two PCs to configure it using
a browser.

Figure 1a-14: Peer-to-Peer Service Versus
Dedicated Servers
• Peer-to-Peer Networks
– Clients serving other clients
– Inexpensive—no need to purchase a dedicated server
– Operational problems for other users if a user PC is
turned off or crashes
– Poor security: No password or shared password for
shared directories
1a-27
Figure 1a-14: Peer-to-Peer Service Versus
Dedicated Servers
• Dedicated Servers
– Servers that are not also used simultaneously as user
PCs
– Do not use standard client versions of Microsoft
Windows (XP, and so forth)
– They use special server operating systems
• Known for historical reasons as network operating
systems (NOSs)
• One popular NOS is Microsoft Windows (latest
version is Windows Server 2003)
• Another is Unix, which has versions for PCs (Linux,
BSD, etc.)
1a-28
Figure 1a-14: Peer-to-Peer Service Versus
Dedicated Servers
• Dedicated Servers
– NOSs for dedicated servers are rich in functionality
• They are designed to serve many users with many
services
• Have strong security
– Unfortunately, dedicated servers are very expensive
– Installation requires specialized training
– Make no sense for home use
1a-29
Figure 1a-14: Peer-to-Peer Service Versus
Dedicated Servers
• Network Attached Storage (NAS) Units
– Boxes that cost $200 to $500
– Contain a large shared hard drive
– RJ-45 plugs allow the NAS to be connected to the switch
in the access router via UTP
– No mouse or keyboard; has a built-in webserver that can
be managed remotely by a client PC
– Do not lose availability when a user PC is turned off or
crashes
– Better security than PC file service
– Backup is crucial
