Yeah , one of the reasons why I mentioned a star network topology is because
the OP is sort of like computer illiterate and I was giving a basic overview
and explanation of a small office network and some additional idea so that
he could do a bit of a quick search to see what was involved.

Normally , to design a network for a business , it would involve asking a
lot of questions to define the business , the businesses needs and future
needs ...etc ,  but in this case I was just giving a quick overview for a
standard small network to somebody that is not very computer literate.
