hey guys, i have 4 computers in my house at the moment that i would like to link up so i can access files from all of them from one computer, what do i need to buy to do this, is it a switch ?
Yes.
You will also then need to configure the file sharing so that can be accessed.
Personally I would just buy a NAS and upload files to there that need sharing. That way the PC doesn't need to be on to access them.
If all you want to do is network the four computers then yes it's a switch. Not a NAS, not a router, not a modem.what do i need to buy to do this, is it a switch ?
Routers route traffic between other networks.
If he wants internet he needs the router or a PC with 2 NICs so not necessarily fixed he needs to claify a bit more.
