JAVA	Java is a programming language that is specially designed for
	writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer
	through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-
	oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and
	applications for the Internet, Intranet and other complex,
	distributed network.
L
LAN	Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively
	small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are confined to
	a single building or group of buildings.
N
NAT	Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that
	makes many different IP addresses on an internal network appear
	to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages properly
	within your network, each device requires a unique IP address.
	But the addresses may not be valid outside your network. NAT
	solves the problem. When devices within your network request
	information from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the
	Internet under the router's IP address. NAT distributes the
	responses to the proper IP addresses within your network.
Network	A network consists of a collection of two or more devices, people,
	or components that communicate with each other over physical or
	virtual media. The most common types of network are:
	LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close distance to
	one another. They are usually in the same office space, room, or
	building.
	WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different

geographic locations and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed between two devices.

P

PING	Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a
	specific IP address is accessible. It functions by sending a packet
	to the specified address and waits for a reply. It is primarily used
	to troubleshoot Internet connections.
PPPoE	Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for
	connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a
	common broadband medium, such as DSL or cable modem. All
	the users over the Ethernet share a common connection.
Protocol	Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules called
	protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use to
	communicate with each other, and thus they have different
	functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and
	presenting and presenting data that will be transferred from file
	server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are
	responsible for filtering information between networks and
	forwarding data to its destination. Still other protocols dictate how
	data is transferred across the medium, and how servers respond to
	workstation requests and vice versa. Common network protocols
	responsible for the presentation and formatting of data for a
	network operating system are the Internetwork Packet Exchange
	(IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate
	the format of data for transferors the medium include token-
	passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
	Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET,
	FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part
