NETWORKING INFORMATIONHow to setup your own network?Assuming you are using Windows on your computer, setting up a network is rather simple. A professional should do the network setup since there are many circumstances that could cause problems. These instructions are basic and some networking knowledge is required. You will need a few things to make it work: (1) PATCH cables (2) Switch (3) Network cards or USB network adapters. The NIC (network cards) must be installed in each PC and software installed for them first. The method varies depending on the version of Windows you have. Second, connect the patch cable to the PC and the other end to the Switch. A light should come on the Switch and network card indicating a connection. In Windows, open the area to change the network settings, ENABLE file sharing, ADD the IPX/SPX protocol and restart the PC. Be sure to remember to actually share the files you want in order access them on the other PC.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a solution! With networking you can connect all the computers in your home. You can share files, programs, printer or other hardware, and even play head to head games from different rooms in your house. Home networking is the affordable and simple solution to home networks. There are two options you can choose from.
Wired: Ethernet Cabling must be in place to use this option. Each computer will need either an internal Ethernet Card or an external Ethernet Adapter to connect them to your home or Business network. In a residential location, the wiring is usually done when the home is built. After the fact, is typically impossible or very expensive. In a business environment, network cabling is frequently done and reasonably priced. There are things to keep in mind before running cable. Certain cities may have "rules" about how the cable is to be run. Beside this, a professional "look" is also important and also ensures no bad wiring techniques were used. Seek out a professional to help you with the network cabling. One source will be the local Chamber of Commerce or the Yellow pages.

Setup A Network?If to be installed in a business environment, the routing CAT 5 cable is the easiest method. Each installation will need to be inspected as the level of difficulty and thus the increase cost will vary. Typically, each computer to be networked will cost $65.00 - $125.00 / hour is typical for more computers. It can be lower if you can find a qualified tech willing to install the wires in a less professional manner. We can assist you with network Cable installation (Nashville, TN area only).
