Peer to peer networks are easy and simple to set up and only require a Hub or a switch to connect all the computers together.
You can access any file on the computer as long as it is set to shared folder
This is rather cheap than having server
If one computer fails to work all the other computers connected to it contiune to work
Disadvantages :
If you have connected the computers together properly then therre can be problems accessing certain files
Security is not good and you can set passwords for files that you don’t want people to access but apart from that the security is pretty poor.
