I am currently looking into to setup a small windows based network, not for hosting anyway I need recommendations on which hardware to use. The network will be RJ45 based.
Its a basic network for file sharing and similar, also its unlikely its going to wireless because it isn't a home a network and there is unlikely to be any laptops on it. Also I am setting this network up for an a-level assigment and I need to show "research". Which is the main reason why I am asking this here.
