Windows XP peer to peer (P2P) connection

What is a peer to peer connection between computers? It is topology of computers where one computer is connected to each computers on the network, same for computer number 2 and so on. This is necessary for sharing digital signals to and from each computer. It contains no node (like a server) so there are no source or primary computer in this network. All computers are networked equally. How do create a P2P connection? Here’s how:
1. Click START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, NETWORK
2. Click ADD, CLIENT, then ADD
3. In the MANUFACTURERS box, click the appropriate manufacturer, select the appropriate client in the NETWORK CLIENTS box, then OK.
4. Click ADD, PROTOCOL, then ADD.
5. Follow instructions to finish installing the network client and protocol.
When giving the computer a unique name to distinguish one computer from another in this network, do these steps:
1. Click START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, NETWORK
2. In IDENTIFICATION tab, type your desired name (In smaller networks, the name WORKGROUP is more desirable to use so pc can be accessible at all times)
3. OK then restart pc.
Once you’re done with this, configure a peer server. As I’ve said, there is no server or the source of information on this network, but rather, all computers acts like an individual server, after configuring it for File and Transfer Sharing. How? Follow these steps:
1. Click START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, NETWORK
2. Click FILE AND PRINT SHARING, click one or both options, OK twice to exit
3. Restart pc

...to end: share your blessings to others...
