A computer network gives access to files on separate computer, while distributed computing is giving access to the CPU power of a separate computer
A distributed computer system consists of multiple software components that are on multiple computers, but run as a single system. The computers that are in a distributed system can be physically close together and connected by a local network, or they can be geographically distant and connected by a wide area network. A distributed system can consist of any number of possible configurations, such as mainframes, personal computers, workstations, minicomputers, and so on. The goal of distributed computing is to make such a network work as a single computer.
In telecommunication, a distributed-queue dual-bus network (DQDB) is a distributed multi-access network that (a) supports integrated communications using a dual bus and distributed queuing, (b) provides access to local or metropolitan area networks, and (c) supports connectionless data transfer, connection-oriented data transfer, and isochronous communications, such as voice communications. IEEE 802.6 is an example of a network providing DQDB access methods.
The components and guidelines in making a good computer network tutorial are the definitions of computer network tutorial, the basics of computer network tutorial and the other guidelines and specifics of computer network tutorials.
Intergalactic Computer Network
distributed mobile computer is mabe up of a collection of componets which are over various computers and connected via a computer network. Thus these componets need to interact with each other. Then moblie computering is a generic term describing one's ability to use technology 'untethered', facilitated by devices which provide mobile computer functionality.
distributed system is a special case of computer network.ofcourse distributed system is a network but a network may or may not be distributed.In general,a computer network is a very general term but distributed system is more specific..
On a computer network, operating systems communicate with each other. In a distributed operating system, a single OS is communicating with itself across multiple machines.

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.
A network node is similar to a router, and a network station is the access point for the network (computer, cell phone, smartphone, mainframe computer, tablet, etc.). Network nodes are part of the network infrastructure, similar to routers, they forward the information along on the network to the intended recepient.
(computer science) A database maintained in physically separated locations and supported by a computer network so that it is possible to access all parts of the database from various points in the network.
A distributed information system consist of multiple autonomous computers that communicate through a computer network.and the computers interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal. A computer program that runs in a distributed system is called a distributed program. example:- Telecommunication network
Electronic Sheep is distributed over the internet via a network of linked and connected computers. It is displayed via a computer's linked screensaver image or website visualization.

A distributed system shares the work to be done among several computers. There is usually a control process that manages all of the various sub processes to ensure they are performed in the proper sequence. Although these computers are networked together, the network is usually unavailable to other systems and users; and it is usually extremely fast. A computer network allows computers on the same network to communicate with each other. There is no indication these computers will share any work simply because they have been networked together. Difference between a network and a distributed system lies with the software(especialy the operating system)rather thanwith the hardware. from 'tanenbum' sender:Priyanka singh,davv indore
