Basic Networking Tutorial - A network is any collection of independent computers that communicate with one another over a shared network medium.A computer network is a collection of two or more connected computers. When these computers are joined in a network, people can share files and peripherals such as modems, printers, tape backup drives, or CD-ROM drives. When networks at multiple locations are connected using services available from phone companies, people can send e-mail, share links to the global Internet, or conduct video conferences in real time with other remote users. As companies rely on applications like electronic mail and database management for core business operations, computer networking becomes increasingly more important.

Remote Desktop Technology of Windows XP - Some people thought that the whole notion of terminal services is a bit to technical for them to understand. Well, MicroSoft and our good friends that work for Bill Boy Gates have come out with terminal services, changed the name and made it a whole lot easier to understand. Find out how!

How IPV-6 Is Going To Change the Net - Ever wonder what'll happen when all the possible IP addresses will be taken? Remember when the phone companies ran out of 800 numbers? Well the same thing is about to happen with IP addresses and quickly. Read all about it here…

Most Common TCP Ports - TCP ports will popup almost with any application you use wether it is ICQ or FTP. It will soon be realized how good its knowledge is once you yourself will start applying it in day to day tech use.

How Virtual LANs (VLANS) Work - A VLAN is a grouping of computers that is logically segmented by functions, project teams, or applications without regard to the physical location of users…

Improving Performance Over Wireless Networks - The main problem with the TCP is that TCP falsely assume the packet loss as congestion. The TCP sender detects a packet loss when a time out happens or duplicate acknowledgements happen…

Windows Windows on the Wall - Windows NT is generally regarded among IT (information technology) professionals as the most stable and secure Windows OS (operating system). Or is it…

Internet Connection Sharing - Part I - This article explains Internet Connection Sharing in detail, and is designed as a practical guide to help you set it all up.

Using the Computer...Away From the Computer - You get to work on a Monday morning, and realise that you've left the document you were presenting today back at home on your computer. How do you get it? Or maybe you have a friend that has problems with their computer, and you know how to fix it, but only if you can see it. There could be many more situations where you need to use a particular computer and you're not there. Enter the range of programs known as VNC.

DNS Resolver Cache - To help speed up Web browsing, Windows XP comes with a local cache containing any DNS addresses that have been looked up recently. Once an URL has been resolved by an Internet name server into a numerical IP, the information is stored locally. Anytime your browser requests an URL, Windows XP first looks in the local cache to see if it is there before querying the external name server used by your ISP. If it finds the resolved URL locally it uses that IP. This is supposed to save time and cut down on Web traffic.

Wireless Network Security - Ever wonder if it's a good idea to switch your home LAN to wireless? This is a very easy to understand discussion about the security matters involved.

Internet Backbone Speeds - This is something that can come in handy for those of you who are simply curious about internet backbone speeds.

Denial Of Service - DoS stand for denial-of-service attack, a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic...

Kindness Online - So I thought this morning I would try to be the optimist, and give reason to hope for the future of the Internet by drawing upon its present.

Now, it may seem like there is less hope today than there was before. People are less kind. There is less trust around. I don't know. As a simple example, we could run a test here. How many people have ever hitchhiked? I know. How many people have hitchhiked within the past 10 years? Right. So what has changed? It's not better public transportation. So that's one reason to think that we might be declensionists, going in the wrong direction.

Networking Terms and Topics, Simplified! - This very much to the point guide highlights some important networking terms and topics and simplifies them to us, the mere mortals.

How to Connect Two Laptops Using Bluetooth - Do you need to copy a heavy file from another laptop without using pen drive or connecting cables? Of course, this can be done by using electronic transfer methods like ftp or online data storage systems. However, these methods are not only time consuming, they often lead to increased data transfer costs. Moreover, what if there is no internet connectivity available in the immediate vicinity? Under such circumstances, you can connect two laptops through Bluetooth and exchange files seamlessly.

227 Categorized CompTIA A Plus Q and A - CompTIA A+ Certification is widely recognized as the first certification you should receive in an information technology (IT) career. Whether you are planning to specialize in PC hardware, Windows operating system management, or network management, the CompTIA A+ Certification exams measure the baseline skills you need to master in order to begin your journey toward greater responsibilities and achievements in information technology.

CompTIA A+ Certification is designed to be a "vendor-neutral" exam that measures your knowledge of industry-standard technology.

The number one goal of this Q and A tutorial is a simple one: to help you pass the 2009 version of the CompTIA A+ Certification Essentials Exam (number 220-701) and the Practical Application Exam (number 220-702), and thereby earn your CompTIA A+ Certification.

Network Topologies - Ever wonder... how are all of these file, print, fax, and computer resources connected so as to allow the typical desktop computer to access them? Network topology refers to the way networked computers and network resources are connected. The three most widely used topologies are bus, ring, and star. Note that the following network topology diagrams are logical views of the topologies they represent and don’t necessarily match the physical (electrical) interconnections on the networks.

History of TCP/IP - Internetworking with TCP/IP has been around for many years-almost as many years as Unix has been available. TCP/IP, or Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, grew out of the work that was done with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. In 1969, DARPA sponsored a project that became known as the ARPANET. This network mainly provided high-bandwidth connectivity between the major computing sites in government, educational, and research laboratories.

IP Spoofing and Sniffing - Sniffing and spoofing are security threats that target the lower layers of the networking infrastructure supporting applications that use the Internet. Users do not interact directly with these lower layers and are typically completely unaware that they exist. Without a deliberate consideration of these threats, it is impossible to build effective security into the higher levels. Sniffing is a passive security attack in which a machine separate from the intended destination reads data on a network. The term "sniffing" comes from the notion of "sniffing the ether" in an Ethernet network and is a bad pun on the two meanings of the word "ether." Passive security attack are those that do not alter the normal flow of data on a communication link or inject data into the link.

What is Computer Networking?

A network is a collection of connected intelligent computing devices. The connection is not necessarily a fancy one. A connection between two computers by direct cabling is qualified to be a network. By this definition, a workstation which is loaded with a computer, a scanner, and a printer, is not treated as a network.

A network can consist of two computers connected together on a desk or it can consist of many Local Area Networks (LANs) connected together to form a Wide Area Network (WAN) across a continent. The key is that two or more computers are connected together by a medium and are sharing resources. These resources can be files, printers, hard?drives, or CPU number-crunching power.

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a smaller network within one location or between several buildings A Metropolitan Network (MAN, politically incorrect, no WOMAN!) is a midsize network spanning the city. A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a giant network spanning across several cities or even several continents.
