A Simple LAN connected to the Internet
The LAN in the example above can be connected to the Internet by adding a router and an Internet
connection. The router has two network connections. It has an Ethernet network connection to the LAN
and another connection to the Internet. Often the Internet connection is called a Wide Area Network
(WAN) connection. Each network connection on the router has an IP address. In our example, the IP
address on the LAN side of the router has an address of 192.168.1.1. The IP address on the WAN side
of the router has an IP address that has been assigned by the Internet Service Provider, such as
266.70.164.97.
(This is not a valid IP address because each number cannot be larger than 255. It is
used in this example for illustration purposes only.)
In this example, when a user on the computer needs to access a server on the Internet, the computer
sends the request to the router at 192.168.1.1, and the router sends the request to the ISP server on the
Internet. The ISP server does not send the response directly to the computer on the LAN, but to the
router at the IP address of 266.70.164.97. The router then forwards the response to the computer. This
