Introduction to networks
In a network, computers are connected to
each other to make it possible to transfer
files and share resources with other com-
puters on the network.
ADSL/broadband
When you are using the adapter for an
ADSL/broadband Internet connection, the
adapter is usually configured automatically.
Look in the manual for your Internet con-
nection if problems arise.
Protocols
In order for computers to be able to com-
municate via a network, they all need to
use the same communication standards and
guidelines. This necessitates a common set
of rules to be used by all the computers.
These sets of rules are called ”Protocols”. It
is important that the same protocols are
installed on all computers on the network.
In order to facilitate smooth communica-
tion, each individual computer on the net-
work must also have a unique name.
The TCP/IP protocol employs a series of
numbers to differentiate the various com-
puters, while the NetBEUI protocol uses the
name of the computer.
Cables etc.
To physically connect computers on a net-
work you need to use a network cable. You
need to use one of the following cables
