The Hardware Side of Networking


A network is two or more computers that have been connected for the purposes of
exchanging data and sharing resources. Networked shared resources range from printers,
CD-ROMs, and modems to files and hard drives. Networks vary in size and scope.

Many types of computer networks exist, but you need only be concerned with the following:
Peer-to-peer network: This type of network includes two or more PCs that are connected
to share data files, a printer, or other resources.

Local area network (LAN): A small business or corporate department may install a LAN
that interconnects from two to hundreds of PCs, using permanently installed cabling or
perhaps a wireless technology.

Wide-area network (WAN): A corporation may maintain a WAN using dialup, leased, or
other dedicated communication means.
