Bus topology LANs are very rare these days. It would be easier to use a star topology than a bus topology for a few devices.

How do I install a home shared computer network?

To set up a network you must have the computer linked via a ethernet cable. This cable will allow you to create a network. This is the only way to share your printers, and computers.


Can Wake-on-LAN only be used within the current network it is linked to?

yes wake-on-lan can be used within the current network. the problem that i see is that the more traffic that it has, the slow it becomes. it can also be connected with bluetooth.


Why might a firm use a network of computers instead of individual computers?

Because using a network, linked by a server means you only nee one copy of software. Each computer on the network accesses the software on the server - instead of having to load it onto individual machines.


What is a computer network and why it is useful?

A computer network - is two or more computers linked together. It's useful - because computers can communicate 'live' with each other. Additionally - If computers are networked, you only need one printer. All the computers on the network 'share' the printer between them.


What is a stub network?

A stub network is a computer network, or part of an internetwork, with no knowledge of other networks, that will typically send much or all of its non-local traffic out via a single path, with the network aware only of a default route to non-local destinations.

Can you use ATM card issued by bank of china to withdraw cash from any ATM?

If your ATM card is linked to a major network (ie. MasterCard, Visa) then you may use a machine that displays at least one of those symbols. Meanwhile, if your ATM card does not have those symbols and isn't linked to a major network then you can only withdraw money from the issuing bank...

No, magnesium deficiency is linked only to magnesium.


How the singly Linked List related with Circular Linked List?

With a singly linked list you will typically maintain a pointer to the head node and perform all insertions and extractions at the head because it is the only node you have constant time access to. If you need to insert at the tail node as well then you must maintain a separate pointer to the tail. You would typically do this to implement a queue (first in, first out), where all insertions occur at the tail and all extractions at the head. But with a circular linked list, the tail node points to the head node thus you no longer need to maintain a separate pointer to the head in order to implement a queue, you only need to maintain a pointer to the tail.


How are the computers physically linked in a network topology?

A typical network consists of one or more hubs, switches and routers. They all do similar jobs, however hubs are cheaper because all traffic from one port is broadcast across all other ports. They are "dumb". Switches are more intelligent (and thus more expensive) and will quickly "learn" which IP addresses are connected to which ports. When a message is initially broadcast across all ports for a given IP address, only one port will respond (if at all), and the switch will then associate that port with the IP address for all future messages, reducing congestion across all other ports. This is why whenever a new machine is introduced to the network (or an existing machine goes offline), there is often a "lag" on the network while the switches figure out the new topology. A router is the same as a switch but it is also programmable; it is really a computer in its own right. Routers typically provide two or more network interfaces allowing two or more otherwise separate networks to be linked. The router acts as the gateway between those networks. Your home broadband router is a typical example, linking your home network (the local area network) to the Internet (the wide area network). A side-effect of routers is that a machine outside the LAN cannot initiate communications with a local machine; the local machine must initiate all communications outwith the LAN. As far as the WAN is concerned, only the router is visible, but the router uses network address translation (NAT) to route legitimate communications to the correct local machine. All illegitimate communications are simply ignored. A router typically provides a hardware firewall which can be configured to limit the type of (legitimate) communications that may be permitted either to or from the local area network. Switches, hubs and routers may be daisy-chained or arranged in a star configuration, or a combination of the two. Each switch is linked to one or more network access points and computers connect to the network via these access points. Access points can also be made available using Wi-Fi, utilising Wi-Fi extenders or repeaters as necessary to increase the range. Wired connections are typically achieved using CAT5 or CAT5e cabling (8-core, twisted-pair), however network switches are typically linked via CAT6 or, in some cases, fibre optic cabling.
