node
Each component in a network connected by wires is called a terminal. Components in a network that are not connected by wires, such as in a shared Wi-Fi connection are also called terminals.
This is known as a Network. Depending on the type of network is may also be called a Topology, Beowulf Cluster, Intranet, Internet, LAN, WAN, WLAN, or more.
A host (also called a client) does this. The device that provides the information a host is looking for is called a server.
Host computer is a central computer or server which connected all other devices within a network.
A Terminal device is a computer connects directly to a network server and does not have an independent operating system. They are also sometimes referred to as dumb terminals as they would not be able to do anything unless connected to the main network.
WAN = Wide Area Network The internet could also be considered as being a WAN.

It is called a network. If there are computers are connected to each other in the same building or immediate area, then they are considered to be part of a Local Area Network (LAN). If they are connected to other LANs around the world, then they are part of a Wide-Area Network (WAN). A famous WAN many are familiar with is the Internet.
It's a network architecture which employs wireless devices. Compared to "classical" network topology, where the cable is network medium, in wireless networks is the air a network medium. It means, that all data travels through the air. Wireless topology can be of 2 basic categories: Ad-hoc = no central device, just a bunch of computers connected together through their wireless network adapters. Infrastructure = there is a central device called "access point" to which all client computers connect. This access point provides interconnectivity between clients and also sometimes between the wireless and wired network.
The internet is one example of a "Computer Network." As a result, then a computer which is connected to the internet is connected to a "Computer Network" There are other types of computer networks which are not necessarily connected to the internet, such as some offices. Typically you can be assured that your computer is connected to a computer network if: (a) you are using the internet (b) you are using a modem (many varieties include, but not limited to Telephone, Cellular, etc.) (c) you are connected to a wall outlet, box, or other device with an "Ethernet" cable. (The ends of an Ethernet cable look the same as a phone cable, only wider (8 wires instead of 4) Also . . . just because the "wires" are connected, doesn't mean that your computer is actually "participating" in the network . . . software, hardware, drivers . . . all these things have to be in place & working correctly for a full fledged network connection.yes irt i s1
No, it is not a processor it is a disk or tape drive connected to a server in the network that is shared by multiple users. Also known as a "remote drive."http://wiki.answers.com/What_is_a_network_drive#ixzz1WRBci0KE
A network is a collection of computers connected with each other. Two or more computers can be connected to form a network. A HUB is used a central point for all the connections of a network. Normally, we use twisted pair cables in LAN and if we are using the star topology of LAN then we use HUB. Every computer is connected to HUB with a separate cable and then the HUB is connected to Server if the LAN is based on a Domain structure. A domain is such a network in which all the communication is done by a central computer, called server. But if we have a workgroup where there is no central computer all the computers are connected with HUB and there is no uplink to server.HUB is not intelligent device so it does not examine the network traffic. Collisionoccurs when there is high traffic on the network. In Local Area Network (LAN)HUB is available in different number of port. 8 port, 16 ports or 24 ports. One port is used to connect one computer. If our network consists of 30 computers and we have 16 ports HUB then we have to use two HUBS to form the network.Now a days, switches are also used to replace HUB. HUB send data to whole network and the destination picks up the desired data where the switch sends data directly to the destination.Ads by Google
