• User on a peer-to-peer LAN can access files
stored on any of the networked computers
and use any peripheral devices connected to
the computers.
– For example, if your computer is part of a peer-topeer
LAN, you can open a file stored on another
user’s computer, save it to your hard drive, and
then send the file to a printer attached to a
different user’s computer.
• Access to files and printers is controlled by setting
options in the desktop operating system of the
individual computers connected to the peer-to-peer
LAN.
