Small,closed Networks are usually some kind of (W)LAN ((Wireless) Local Area Network) which use Routers and Ethernet-Switches to provide the communication channels for network based software, since the LAN itself is just the infrastructure.
Larger networks may be split into logical units using VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).
Clients outside the LAN can for example use Browsers (web) or VPN to connect to the machines inside the network.
A Local Area Network (LAN) spans a single building or campus to provide networking capabilities. This type of network allows users to share devices, such as laser printers and file servers. A common business application for a LAN is to send and receive e-mail between office computers.

Home users may have all of their computers in the house connected toghether by CAT-V (twisted pair) cable or by a wireless network (actually called a WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network).

A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN). The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network (which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network). It is also used to mean the interconnection of several local area networks by bridging them with backbone lines. The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a campus network. Examples of metropolitan area networks of various sizes can be found in the metropolitan areas of London, England; Lodz, Poland; and Geneva, Switzerland. Large universities also sometimes use the term to describe their networks. A recent trend is the installation of wireless MANs.

A campus LAN is a network in a single building or a group of closely related buildings. It mainly refers to layer 2 switching.
intranet is a local network in a certain building, campus or home. Extranet is everything else.
LAN is an accronym for Local Area Network. A LAN is a computer network that covers only a small area, usually within one building, or perhaps provides connectivity across a college campus. Contrast this with the WAN, or wide area network. A link is provided below for review and further investigation.
