A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users and Professional Web Design . A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a home network) or many as thousands of users (for example, in an FDDI network).
The main local area network technologies are: Ethernet token ringARCNET FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface)
Typically, a suite of application programs can be kept on the LAN server. Users who need an application frequently can download it once and then run it from their local hard disk. Users can order printing and other services as needed through applications run on the LAN server. A user can share files with others at the LAN server; read and write access is maintained by a LAN administrator.
A LAN server may also be used as a Web server if safeguards are taken to secure internal applications and data from outside access.
Peer to Peer Lan: In peer to peer computers, computers are directly connected each computer f(n)s as a host as well as server a P-P link actually consisting two f(n)s ie txt and tRx . Each stn Ts to tother stns Rx. The char of a P-P link each stn receivers exactly from one transmitter and each transmitter and txts exactly one rxs. The tx and rx operations can occur over separate wire or they can take terms over the same wire using variety of techniques.
Ethernet: A local area network that uses radio frequency signals carried by coaxial cables. The NIC used for this type of network is called Ethernet.
Wow. You sure is smart. I'd like to meet you one day. Maybe we could go fishing.

Probably but I did not click on the link so I don't know if they are phishing or fishing (for customers). I gave them the benefit of doubt. Gerard will be along to fix it, eitther way. :)
