If you have one small computer around house (and one small computer user), you can connect everyone of that computer one another and divide data, software, and hardware in one single Internet connection. There are a lot of creative way to make network house, where situation ideal upgrading every computer at ability in common is in financial unlikely. On a home network, each computer already access to equipments from better machine in equipments group, that as if that equipment were their own. Connect computer one another, either one cable Ethernet or one connection Wireless can create a house network. Easiest and cheapest method uses one connection Ethernet, that need a series of network card, one cable for every computer, and one router. Network Card is was same and similar to old modem were that we used in the past to connect to Internet, however in a home network, this used to communicate with every computer that connected to it.
The first step, select computer where will connect one another, install network card in every computer. Then you will connect a cable in each computer where will communicate with server. This Cable will not connected to server directly. Instead, they will connect to router. To enable internet access for each computer, this router must to connect with one modem from host machine.
Once the hardware is set up correctly (you will must to read reference book from your equipments for detail), you can make network from Windows at any given machine. In Windows, you can prepare a house network similar to your way prepares one Internet connection. Only at this time, you will prepare one LAN (Local Area Network) connection.

Since we are depicting a home network where connected to Internet, you are strongly advised to install a protective firewall program to hinder Internet virus, worm, or other destroy spyware code. Firewalls prevents pin-cushion but they not repair. Only anti-virus and program anti-spyware can repair damage. So you must install a firewall on the computer that grants access to the computer, install one anti-virus and program anti-spyware to every remains computers] in the network. If you have file that shouldn't be shared (bank statement, credit card information, and others.), you can limit access them in one of several ways. You can put down them in a new folder and eliminates "read" permission for that folder. Or you can specify who can (and who cannot) access specific files with a password from within Windows Control Panel.
