Balderama, Aaron Paulo

 Making your own network at home is easy and very useful. If you know what you are
doing, setting up a network in your home can be an easy task. It can be helpful when you
want to customize or control another pc using your own. You can also configure security
and troubleshoot problems. The process not only enhances your technical skills but also
give you the power to make your digital environment to your liking. However, it can be
difficult if you don't know what you're doing. Setting up a network requires patience and
understanding of the things that you have to do in order to set it up. Technology is
always evolving so doing stuff is being made for us to do things easier, but we must still
 have the urge to learn so we won't be left out. Building your own network provides a
hands-on experience that fosters a deeper understanding of the interconnected world we
live in.

 Setting up a network with multiple computers, a router, and possibly a switch allows for
seamless communication and resource sharing, enhancing efficiency and collaboration.
In our daily lives, this concept is akin to a well-connected community where individuals
can easily exchange information, fostering a more interconnected and productive
environment.

Bello, Renz Miggy

 Participating in the troubleshooting activity for computer hardware and software issues
within the network was an enlightening experience. It underscored the significance of
systematic problem-solving. The step-by-step approach helped in identify the root
causes of both hardware and software glitches, enhancing my ability to diagnose and
resolve issues efficiently. Collaborating with team members fostered a collective learning
environment, where diverse perspectives contributed to a more comprehensive
understanding of potential challenges. Additionally, the hands-on nature of the activity
provided a practical insight into the complexities of real-world network troubleshooting,
preparing me to address similar issues in a professional setting. Overall, this exercise
reinforced the importance of honing troubleshooting skills to maintain a robust and
reliable computer network infrastructure.

 Making a network to share files are convenient, since you can have your files from a
different desktop to the current desktop you’re currently using, it’s like having your own
cloud service. However, if you don’t know what you’re doing. It could lead to your
desktop being attacked, since by having network sharing, you’re making your device be
seen by other devices, that could lead to people stealing the data that you’ve shared.
