-Only few years ago, the word //network// meant cables, a lot of cables. Today we live in the wireless revolution: some laptops, some antennas and 1 cable (if necessary) and the network is ready. It'so simple? **no**, but don't worry, the new kind of problem generated by the wireless revolution are managed at best.

Most of the time the user can access the files server and the networks printer directly, without change on the configuration of his/hers laptops.+Only few years ago, the word //network// meant cables, a lot of cables.
