• 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.
