Networks - Design and Installation

Madison Computer Works has been designing and installing networks in the Dane County area since 1985. Back in the early days, Novell was the big kid on the block. We designed, configured and installed Novell networks for the University, government agencies, and businesses both large and small. When Microsoft began offering networking in the late 1980's, we started implementing and supporting their networks as well

Now, 20 years later, we still fully design and install Microsoft and Novell networks for businesses of all sizes. Whether you have a single server or multiple servers, we can implement your network. We run multiple servers at our facilities including both a Microsoft 2003 and Novell 6.X server. Server operating systems we support are:

* Microsoft - Windows peer to peer networks (95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP) , Windows NT servers (2000, 2003, 2008, and 2011 servers), Exchange servers, Terminal servers, and domain controllers
* Novell - NetWare 3.x, 4.x , 5.x, 6.x, Groupwise, BorderManager, ZENworks, Open Enterprise Server
* Linux - Redhat, Mandrake,SUSE, Novell/SUSE


We install server operating systems on many different brands of server hardware from manufacturers such as Hewlett Packard/Compaq, Dell, IBM, Frontier, and more. Our networking specialists will meet with you and help you decide which hardware and server software best meets your needs. Unlike many other networking companies, Madison Computer Works does not charge a fee to come to your location, do a needs assessment, and prepare a quote for the networking system that best meets your needs now and into the future.

Whether you need one server or several, managed or unmanaged switches, routers supporting VPN and port forwarding or just a basic wireless router, we will help you choose and implement the hardware and software solution that best meets your needs.
