Intranet

This is a private network, inside an organization or company, that

 

uses the same software you will find on the public Internet. The

 

only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage only.

Internet

The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are

 

logically connected based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The

 

Internet provides different ways to access private and public

 

information worldwide.

Internet

To participate in Internet communications and on Internet

address

Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet address

 

that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP

 

addresses

IP

Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the

 

basic unit of information on the Internet (the packet) and also

 

details the numerical addressing format used to route the

 

information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address

 

of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your

 

network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs,

 

most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway

 

to assign the IP addresses on internal networks.

IP address

IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender

 

or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the

 

Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address, it is the closet

 

thing the Internet has to telephone numbers. When you “call” that

 

number, using any connection methods, you get connected to the

 

computer that “owns” that IP address.

ISP

Internet Service Provider, is a company that maintains a network

 

that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated communication

 

line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated communication lines

 

to companies or individuals who can’t afford the high monthly

 

cost for a direct connection.

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 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.
