Hardware 

- Hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other information 

technology devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish the “box” and the electronic circuitry and 
components of a computer from the program you put in it to make it do things. The program came to be known 
as the software.   

 

 

Hub 

- The device that serves as the central location for attaching wires from workstations. Can be passive, 

where there is no amplification of the signals; or active, where the hubs are used like repeaters to provide an 
extension of the cable that connects to a workstation.

client browser.   

 

 

MAC Address 

- The MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to 

any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware 
level.

IP Address 

- In the most widely installed level of the Internet Protocol (IP) today, an IP address is a 32-binary 

digit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet. 
When you request an HTML page or send e-mail, the Internet Protocol part of TCP/IP includes your IP address 
in the message (actually, in each of the packets if more than one is required) and sends it to the IP address that 
is obtained by looking up the domain name in the Uniform Resource Locator you requested or in the e-mail 
address you're sending a note to. At the other end, the recipient can see the IP address of the Web page 
requestor or the e-mail sender and can respond by sending another message using the IP address it received.   
   

IPCONFIG 

- A utility that provides for querying, defining and managing IP addresses within a network. A 

commonly used utility, under Windows NT and 2000, for configuring networks with static IP addresses.   
   

ISP 

- An ISP (Internet service provider) is a company that provides individuals and companies access to the 

Internet and other related services such as website building and virtual hosting.   

 

 

Packet 

- A unit of data routed between an origin and a destination in a network.

Port 

- A pathway into and out of the computer or a network device such as a switch or router. For example, the 

serial and parallel ports on a personal computer are external sockets for plugging in communications lines, 
modems, and printers.
