Students and parents are finding more and more uses for their home computers.   Whether it is checking homework assignments & grades, doing e-mail, researching a project or just having fun, the use of computers in the home is growing.  Many families have more than one computer.  A home network allows for sharing data between computers and also sharing printers, scanners and Internet access.  This is similar to what many people have in their offices at work. In the last few years home networking technology has leaped ahead and costs have dropped.  The links below will give you and your family information on what kind of home network is right for you and how to make it happen.
