Sharing Media on Your Network

1. Make your way through System Monitor> Performance Logs> Alerts> Counter Logs so you can create your first log.
2. A dialogue box will appear. Make a name for your log and place it in your desired directory (or the default perflog directory).
3. Next you have to add Objects or Counters. Objects are simpler so you might want to start there. Once you are more familiar with objects and counters based on what you want data on as well as how much your disk space can accommodate, you can be pickier about your settings.
4. Then you need to set your time-interval. Make sure you set this in relation to your available disk space. For first timers you can choose the 15 seconds default.
5. Click Add and your selections will be all set for your performance monitoring.
6. Right click on the green button to make the performance monitoring begin or end.

Once you are more familiar with the nitty-gritty of logging you will be able to manipulate how perfmon works for you.

Running Performance Monitor

Perhaps one good way to understand routers better is to differentiate it from other similar devices. A router uses two or more subnets where information is sent to one or some of the other parts of the network, unlike the network hub which technically does not route any information because it automatically sends all its info to all network lines.

Routers are distinct for two levels, namely (1) control and (2) forwarding. The control plane is where the router receives outgoing information and applies the best interface it should use to deliver a particular bit of information to a certain destination. The forwarding plane is where the actual sending of such information takes place.

For even more advanced information about routers, you can check out Wikipedia.

1. Brother HL-2170W Laser. This was released about a year ago, and it is appreciated for its compactness while being able to quickly print good quality pages for three computers in a network.

2. Canon MX850. This printer can also connect to two other computers in a network either via Ethernet, wirelessly, or other methods. It’s an all-in-one compact and incredibly portable printer that is easy to use. It also prints fast. This was released about 11 months ago.

3. Brother MFC 9840cdw. Another all-in-one printer that was released a year ago. This is easy to connect to more than 3 computers with either USB or wireless methods.

These three printers have been highly recommended by users who have personally experienced their service. All three were recommended for the office and large volume printing.
