Five Sport Store Business

Post by Jeeb »

Hello I have a few questions regarding an assignment that I have to do in my computer class. What I basically have to do is come up with a communication system for a five sport store business and make 3 different packages including all the Hardware and Software for the system and its disadvantages and advantages. I'm thinking I have to make a WAN of some sort but i have not a very good idea of what is needed to make a WAN or how it works i have a general idea that you need network cards and modems or routers or switches or hubs but i'm not exactly sure how all those things tie together to actually make it work and I'm having trouble finding the information on the net so if anyone could give me some advice or webpages i could research i would be very gratefull
Thank You!

I don't know how much help you can give you, since this is for a class. So I can only really suggest some basic information like "Networking Essentials" from the MCSE courseware. You can research various networking topologies.

At any rate, this isn't the proper board for this thread. So I've moved it to Genreal Discussion.

google is your friend.

should get you started. I would also assume that your library would also have books to help.
Is this for a computer class?
If so your teacher should be able to help get you going.
