You use Outlook on a home network exactly as you do any other mail client.
DO you have a specific task in mind?

I want to share the information from one computer to another example
contacts, calendar, So if I enter calendar or contact infomation on my PC in
my home office on outlook, I want my wife to see I scheduled an appointment

AFAIK, Not (easily) possible without paying $$$ for Exchange. Quite stupid
if you ask me as Day-Timer Organizer, Starfish Sidekick, and Lotus Organizer
could do this back in 1996... and Outlook's calendaring features aren't *all
that* advanced in comparison. I guess that's "progress."

Best bet? Forget Outlook and use online app suites from Google or Yahoo
(Yahoo's Personal Organizer and E-mail features are quite good and
mature)... since you'll likely find Outlook's POP e-mail (non-Exchange
e-mail) just as NON-functional as Calendar sharing.

P.S. If you're brave you can check this out and are willing to settle for
crappy workarounds, check here:

an appointment on her laptop in the kitchen. I hope I explained
this well enough.

You have several options. See this, for example:

You can also use the same PST in two Outlook instances if you refrain from
trying to use both Outlook instances simultaneously. Create a PST in a
network share and open that PST in each Outlook.
