A peer to peer network is simply a network of two or more computers that does not use a server, all logins are authenticated by the machine your logging into. All data is stored on local machines. Each user can grant permissions for their machine. This is only affective for networks of up to about 10. After that it becomes an administrative nightmare. Let me know if you want more info.
