Java

J
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 networks.
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, a network address translator 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
	networks are LANs and WANs. In a LAN (local area network), computers are in close distance
	to one another. They are usually in the same office space, room, or building. In a WAN (wide
	area network), the computers are in different geographic locations and are connected by telephone
	lines or radio waves.
N-Way 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 a DSL or cable modem.
	All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection.
