How many types of computer networking can be done?
how many type of computer networking LAN - Local Area Network W LAN - Wireless Local Area Network WAN - Wide Area Network MAN - Metropolitan Area Network SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area Network CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network PAN - Personal Area Network DAN - Desk Area Network LAN and WAN were the original categories of area networks, while the others have gradually emerged over many years of technology evolution. Note that these network types are a separate concept from network topologies such as bus, ring and star.
When was cenorship introduced into the computer?
It depends on what you mean by censorship. You can write anything that you want on your computer. You can create anything that you can imagine... but you cannot expoit children. If your computer is not connected to the outside world, it's pretty much up to you what you do with it. As soon as you connect to others, Communication laws are in effect which limits what can and cannot be sent across public communication media. Communication laws have been in effect pretty much since the early history of the telephone.
What are the computer benefits?
There are a great many benefits you can gain from a computer. One very big benefit is that you can communicate easily with others.
What did a computer originally refer to?
they looked to it as a person that did all the problems for others MATH,READING etc. then they first came out with the controlled computer that so they referd to a human being as a computer
What is it called when you feel others emotions or pains?
It is called being Empathic.
What is A computer connected connected to a network is called?
It depends what you consider a network. If all the cables and associated hardware is there, but no computers are connected to it, it could still be considered a network. Others would just think of it as a collection of cables and switches unless there are at least two computers on it.
Personal computer vs network computer?
Personal Computer is the computer that is not connected unto any other computer. Network Computer are computers that are inter-connected with each others. Network Computer can access any other computers files/data from one another.
What is a network not connected to a computer called?
It depends what you consider a network. If all the cables and associated hardware is there, but no computers are connected to it, it could still be considered a network. Others would just think of it as a collection of cables and switches unless there are at least two computers on it.
How is a firewall used on an intranet?
Basically your computer on the intranet is connected to a server which is connected to the internet. Your computer would have limited access the internet (or none at all) but you are connected to all other computers on the network allowing you to share information with others on the network (intranet) but not allowing you to download music and such from the internet.
Can you make any scanner as network scanner?
That depends. Some scanners will have built-in network connectivity, so that any computer on the network can use it. Others will not have this capability, but can be shared through software running on a host computer, which is directly connected to the scanner and networked to other computers.
A computer that shares files or provides access to a device such as a printer that other computers can use is called a?
Most computers who host files for others to use are called Servers. Most of the time these computers have a lot of hard drive space as well as a lot of RAM and multiple CPUs. These costs a lot, but depending on who is in need of it these are the best option.If the computer that is sharing files is a normal computer such as a school computer, or home computer connected to a network, then it would just a computer.
What are client based server applications?
The application that runs on a personal computer in a network and which is not available to others in a network.
What is a providing access to a computers files or printer over a network so others can read or use them?
That would be called a server. A server "serves" the computer files or printer access over the network for client computers access.
In which way is a modem and a network similar?
A network card is a small circuit board inside the computer, which allows the computer to communicate with others that are on the network. A modem is a communication device that uses the already-existing telephone network to facilitate computer communication.
What are limitations of network?
Assuming you're asking about a computer network, some of the limitations include being dependent on a main file server, the growth of the network depends on the size of your budget, and viruses can something spread rapidly from one computer to others on the network.
Can hub be intelegance?
Hubs (As in the networking device) are considered to be a "dumb" device so to speak. When a packet is sent to a computer connected to a hub with other computers attached, it will forward the packet to EVERY computer connected to it. The issues involved with this is data collisions, if a computer is trying to send out data to something on a different network, while the hub is trying to send a packet there will be a collision. These have the tendency to slow the network down and the data that collided is lost. Since there is so much traffic being sent a hub will just keep forwarding what it is sent to every computer attached. This can drain network resources, which intern slows down the network for others. So it's better to use a switch in most cases, as they avoid many of the issues hubs face.
How are output devices connected to the CPU?
Output devices are connected to the CPU through the northbridge and southbridge, (collectively called the chipset) but they connect to different devices. The northbridge connects to the graphics output, while the southbridge connects to all other output devices (sound, storage, network, and others).
