LAN (Local Area Network)

A network which is accessible only to its members, unlike the Internet, which is open to an unlimited number of people. A LAN may be built for different purposes. For example, you can build an office LAN that is accessible only to members of the same department or a home LAN that is accessible only to family members.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

TCP/IP is a networking protocol, a common set of communications standards that allow computers to communicate with each other. Because the Internet uses TCP/ IP, a computer can only connect to the Internet when the TCP/IP protocol is installed on it.
