I wouldn't say that now being honest. Alot of people will say that Linux is far better for a network. But sticking with Microsoft I think XP is far better for networks than vista. Vista I find can be tempremental when it comes to networks.
RRAS (Routing and Remote Access service)
The purpose of a computer network is to allow users to share resources located on other computers, to share hardware devices such as printers and fax machines, to allow applications running on different computers to exchange data and to allow users to communicate electronically. A network operating system (NOS) is a special kind of operating system designed to provide networking functionality. A network operating system should support client-server networking, and include all of the programs needed to manage network resources and create a secure network environment. The most widely used network operating systems today include Microsoft Windows Server, Novell Netware, UNIX and Linux. Most network operating systems.
Nothing
Network Operating system or NOS is an OS that allows a system to connect to a network. Such as Novell and Artisoft's LANtastic. In the old days of DOS networking was not a function of the Client OS, you have to also load the NOS to get connected. Now that most Client OS's imbed network connectivity the term is now seldom used.
A network operating system, NOS helps computers act as servers while giving them network operation capabilities user administration, print and file sharing and client server features. Examples of network operating systems are Microsoft Windows Server, Linux, Sun Solaris and Novell Netware.
Windows Server is an example of a client/server network operating systems and Cisco IOS is an example of a router NOS. There are other network operating systems out there.
they are bananas
A DNS server would most likely be used first by a network client in a corporate environment.
No network requires a Network Operating System (NOS) . They just require network interface hardware and software to use the network to communicate with each other. However, since all modern operating systems also claim to be Network Operating Systems, it doesn't matter. Client or Server Network
Simple: in order to have a client-server architecture you need a network. The role of the network is to move data packets between the client and the server. In a client-server architecture the server usually has to manage the network (for example, a domain controller in a Windows environment).
NewsLeecher is a Usenet client for the computer operating system, Microsoft Windows. The NewsLeecher client carries out searches, downloads, and reads content from its Usenet news groups.
The primary difference is that when using a workstation as a Novell client, you're most likely connecting to a Novell network, and when using one as a Microsoft Client, you're most likely connecting to a Microsoft network. Novell and Microsoft's models of network security differ. Microsoft has their Active Directory (which arguably a lot of which has been stolen from Novell), and Novell has their NDS (Novell Directory Services). In terms of your computer connecting to one of these networks, it'll differ between a Novell and Windows network in some technical ways, but from a user's perspective things remain pretty similar.
