Today, many households have more than one computer. This, combined with the growing popularity of broadband Internet access, has created an increased interest in home networking. Connecting all your computers together on a home network not only allows you to share the same Internet connection, but other resources such as printers, storage devices and files. Home networks are also popular with game enthusiasts, allowing multiple gamers to compete over the home network. This manual is a description of how to setup and configure a home network that shares a broadband Internet connection. It will cover everything from running network cable and choosing the hardware to setting the network parameters on your computer. After reading this, you should be able to quickly setup your own network and begin sharing the Internet.  NEXT: | Part II. Choosing a Network Setup | Part III.
