Mixed networks fit all types of user Just so that you don’t think that the computer world is rigid, I’ll point out that some networks are both client/server and peer-to-peer at the same time. Users log on to the network server and then use it to access software and store the documents that they create. Because the peer-to-peer network is built into the operating system, users can also transfer files from other clients and access printers connected to other clients. A mixed network is the best-of-all-worlds scenario for many businesses. To create a network, the primary hardware device that you need is a network adapter, also called a network interface card (NIC). A NIC must be installed in each computer on the network. It’s actually the NICs (not the computer boxes) that are connected to create a network. NICs are traditionally connected via cable. I say traditionally because wireless solutions are also available for small networks, and you may prefer to take that route. Also, even though the term NIC is still commonly used, not all network interface devices are cards anymore. Today, you can connect a network interface adapter device to a Universal Serial Bus (USB).
