Hi
I do not know what is the type of Network that you have. Broadband is the
term used for Cable or DSL Internet connection. Peer-to-peer is used to
describe a setting of computers connected one to the other with out a local
Server. If you do not use a Cable/DSL Router and you are connected directly
to the Modem, when the system is active on the Internet, it might be called
Broadband Network. When you disconnect from the Internet and the computers
revert to a regular local IPs they might be called peer-to-peer.
