Ok, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, but I’ve been busy learning, and memorizing a lot of information! So let’s restart everything, and since a lot of my old readers have left, we will try to get some new ones, we are going to start from the very very beginning!
All right, this is in no way shape or form a way of selling books online, this is just a guy, who is learning some computer stuff, and just helping out his fellow computer lovers out there! I heard that when you learn something you only retain so little of what you hear, but when you teach it to someone else, you’d retain about 50% of what your teaching or even more!
So let’s begin with the very first lesson!
What is a network? Hopefully everyone reading this should at least know what it means, even in the common sense, non computeristic way! Networking in the real world is to open one’s social circle and invite others into it, to discuss and communicate with one another! Networking that deals with computers is pretty much the same thing! A Network is two or more computers and their associated peripherals connected by a communication medium! Here is the jist of it.
Take two computers, and place them next to one another, are they going to share any information with each other? No they can’t talk, so what you have to do is use something to connect them to one another! See simple enough! All you need is something it connect them to one another!
Now we can start talking about LAN and WAN. LAN = Local Area Network, WAN = Wide Area Network.
I’m pretty sure that you can distinguish just exactly that means! If not then let’s discuss about LAN and WAN’s in some detail, but first we’ll go over the Local Area Network this time, and save WAN’s for later!
A LAN is a collection of computers that are connected in a geographically close network. What this means, is take for an example an office building. All of the computers are connected to one another. People can send their information from computer to computer, print from the same printer, do other things because they are all connected to one another in a small close area!
Study hard, and try to take what you don’t understand, and make it simple!
