The network includes the client and server computers, hubs, routers, or switches and all supporting hardware and wireless networks.

Home Networking Make it happen

  • Why network for the home? Do you have a computer you use in your home? Do you own a laptop computer? That's the best two reasons. You can simply connect them together with a crossover cable and transfer files. Did you create that wonderful PowerPoint presentation on your home computer only to find out it won't fit on a floppy disk? You don't have a CD burner! Wow you're sunk! Don't be in dismay; all you need is help from a nerd at NerdNet. We will install and configure network card and protocols in your home computer and laptop, setup the workgroup, hook up the cable and have your computers talking to each other in harmony! Most new laptops come with a built-in network card; if it doesn't it will have a PCMCIA slot to plug in a network adapter.

  • Do you have two or more home computers? Would you like to share files, play strategy games, race each other, fly wingman or just play checkers? You need a network card installed for each computer, a crossover cable, or a hub and a patch cable for each computer and protocol configuration and you are ready to go.

  • A home network will also support multiple Internet connections with the use of a router.

Business Networking Make it happen  

  • Utilizing the same advantages as home networking, a business network is expanded with the use of a server computer. The Workstation or Client computers are the computers that you and your employees use. They are connected to the server computer through a hub. The server computer is your main computer that houses all your documents, database, folders and files. It is like your main file cabinet. All documents, database entries etc. are automatically saved to your server. Backups are made from the server to whatever media you choose to save to.

  • Servers can be file servers, print servers, domain controllers, Internet servers, mail servers, etc.

  • NerdNet specializes in Networking for home or business.

A Firewall and Security Software accomplish computer security. We can install current patches and updates to your software to make it more functional and secure. Not only can we keep hackers out, we can also keep malicious programs from sending out information about you to some one in cyberspace. If your computer is trying to send unauthorized information to the Internet without your knowledge, we can install a program that will stop that kind of activity. In other words we can stop incoming and outgoing.
 

Parental Controls Make it happen  

  • We can find where your children have been on the Internet and what they have been doing.

  • We can show you how to limit where they go on the Internet.

  • We can configure your computer with passwords to eliminate certain Internet sites that you do not want your children to go to.

Test Your Firewall

  • Test your computer system or firewall to see how vulnerable your computer system is to intruders and hacker attacks.  Go here to test your shields and probe your ports: http://www.grc.com
