A peer-to-peer network allows two or more PCs to pool their resources together. Individual resources like disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and even printers are transformed into shared, resources that are accessible from every PC. In a client-server environment like Windows NT/2000, files are stored on a centralized, high speed file server PC that is made available to client PCs.
