In a P2P network, one computer is always the server.
P2P networks are more secure than client-server networks.
A crossover cable is required for direct PC-to-PC connections.
Straight-through cables are used when connecting via a switch or hub.
The default subnet mask for many P2P setups is 255.255.255.0.
Each device in a P2P network must have a unique IP address.
The ping command is used to check if two PCs can communicate.
P2P networks are ideal for large enterprises with hundreds of computers.
File and Printer Sharing must be enabled to share resources.
If ping fails, checking cables and IP configuration can help fix the issue.
Network discovery should be turned off to make sharing easier.
P2P networks are generally more affordable than client-server networks.
Password-protected sharing increases the security of P2P networks.
