Hi everyone. I have been tossing around the idea of setting up a network in my classroom just to see if I can figure it out. I understand how to connect the computers together but I'm not really sure why people set up these networks in the first place. Printer sharing is the only thing I can think of. So I need tips or ideas or something that will give me a better idea of what I could do with a bunch of networked computers. It would be an assortment of different versions of Macs, from SE's on up to PowerMacs, and I even have an older server to play around with, so please get creative and give me some neat ideas! Also, I have local talk/phone net connectors, a localtalk to ethernet bridge, and a ethernet hub, so I think I have most of the stuff I will need. I could even tap into the school network for internet access and laser printer access if I want...as long as it doesn't create too much chatter on the network.
(My classroom computers that belong to the school are already set up on the school network and are all being run by Mac Manager and OS X server. I'm not trying to duplicate what I already have there. I'm just trying to figure out this whole networking thing so I can really understand how it works.) -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
