VERY basic networking question

Sorry if my questions are a little too basic, but my knowledge of computers is fairly basic, although I am trying to enhance my knowledge via forums, books, etc. My question is the following: When it is said that on networks, computers share rsouces; what exactly is meant by this? I know that a printer is an example of a shared resource, but if you have a p2p network, and there is no server, how do you connect to the interent and such. What resources are you sharing? What resouces does one computer have that the other doessn't. It would be much appreciated if someone could clarify this for me. And like I said, sorry if my questions a too basic. Thanks :)
 
You share whatever resources you want. You share files, services, and so forth. Is there a specific question you have in mind or are you just asking a basic broad question on networking?
