what is the advantages and disadvantages of network?

The main advantage of a network is that computers can share information.  A computer network can store more data than a stand-alone computer.  This is great if you have a business because your employees can exchange vital information easier.\n\nThe main disadvantage would be security concerns, i.e. someone hacking into your network.  However, you can buy software and hardware to help prevent this.  Just remember that any protection you get can be broken if the hacker has enough time and patience.

It isn't, actually.  You're comparing apples and oranges here, though.\n\nTerminal Services allows the application to run on a server and display the desktop on your computer.  Only the video stream updates, keyboard inputs and mouse movements go across the network.  The advantages to terminal services are low bandwidth requirements and low client side processing load.\n\nA VPN allows you to access a secure private network across the insecure internet.  Common connections include site-to-site where two networks are connected across the internet and road-warrior where a VPN client is installed on your machine and you use that to connect to the private network.  The primary advantage to VPNs is the lower cost of connectivity compared to a dedicated circuit while providing the same level of security as a dedicated circuit.\n\nWhile it is technically possible to put up a Terminal Server on the internet for users to access it is not a wise idea.  You get some security by limiting access to users with user IDs and passwords on the system but the system itself is still vulnerable to attack.  Using a VPN with a Terminal Server is the way to go if you wish to allow users to connect remotely across the internet.  That way you get the security of a VPN and the low bandwidth and low client processing load of Terminal Services.

I agree with the first answer.\n\nyou have to consider:\n-topography of location (is the area surrounded by mountains, or is the location a 'free-space' type?)\n-type of network to be built (wired or wireless?)\n-distances of endpoints (if you're opting for wireless)\n\nfor your reference:

i dont really see any disadvantages . advantages however you can watch record and modify any shows that you want to. for example: you cant watch your favorite show, you can program your your computer (using the software that came with your hardware) to record your show and either watch it on your pc or burn it to dvd and watch it any time you wish.

Ad Hoc is cheaper as it does not need a router. But infrastructure is much better for sharing things between 3 computers or more, because each computer only needs one network connection if there are 3 units, instead of 1 to connect each pair of computers. So, if you have 2 computers, ad hoc is better and if you have 3 or more infrastruvture is better. SSID and ESSID are security systems for protecting unauthorized users to use the network.

I work in fraud detection, the advantage is obviously convenience. the disadvantage is possible identity theft. There are numerous devices that can be attached to the machine and copy your information. Your information could be sent to another country in a matter of minutes. Make sure you use a machine that is serviced often and watched closely. Even the most cautious person can have their information compromised.

The only advantage is if you find the software useful and trouble free. And that goes for shareware also. Note: there are a lot of freeware programs that are better than their shareware counterparts.

Yup, I agree with Froggie and nini_nil, the people of a family would be closer and they would spend more time with each other. Also, children who are innocent wouldn't get spoiled (You know what I mean !) by Internet. But yes, there would have been many disadvantages too. We would never meet those people whom we have met online. There would be no Yahoo Answers ! We would have to go to a library every now and then whenever we have a project work at school, people of different nations would remain to be far apart and wouldn't know the cultures and traditions of other nations. Yup, there are many advantages as well as disadvantages, though, I am glad Internet is there !

Advantages being that when it works its wonderfull. The quality is really impressive and it works just like a phone. However, if you have a slow or unreliable connection it can cut you off a lot. Sometimes there are problems getting it to connect, and that can be rather frustrating.\n\nIn other words, when it works its great but sometimes it doesnt work
