Computer Networking
Computer networks are collections of computers which are connected together in order to communicate and transfer information. Questions about computer networks, networking protocols, and how to set them up belong here.

Which default administrative group has the necessary privileges to create and monitor sites?
Enterprise Admin. Just a hunch.
Why did cannabis change from class C to class B?
Cannabis has serious consequences and only recently have people found out how bad it actually is.
Can you break the encryption on a wireless router?
WEP can be cracked for 1-2 minutes. WPA might require many days. WPA2 will take reasonable amount of time of you have the password in the dictionary if you are performing brute force. If you do not have such word. So far WPA2 is a very good encryption which is if implemented properly can protect you.
What laptop is better to purchase Sam sung Le nova or As us or dell?
The better laptop to purchase between Samsun, Lenovo, AS, or Dell depends on personal preference. Each brand has good computers but not everyone has the same taste or needs in computers.
Can you connect the ipaq 3600 to a wireless router?
The iPAQ 3600 series does not have built-in wireless networking capability. You will need a compactflash(CF) or PC Card (PCMCIA) expansion jacket and a wireless adapter compatible with the jacket and the handheld. I am using the iPAQ 212 its a nice piece, I think is the best iPAQ with all facility.
How do you make a Wireless network secure?
By encrypting the information between a computer and the wireless access point. Several methods are available of which WPA and WPA2 are now the most common
A networking group is a group of business people that get together on a periodic basis. There are specific companies that run networking groups strictly for business networking such as BNI. You join a BNI group that has members (business owners or managers) from all different business - usually no competitors are in the group - there is one plumber and one electrician and one printer and one insurance salesman, etc. The purpose is that you would become a customer of the members in your group and they would become your customers. Also, if anyone ever asked you for a referral, you would recommend a member of your BNI group. But there are other networking groups that exist for a different purpose. The most obvious is the Chamber of Commerce. They exist to promote and help businesses in their community; however, if you joined the Chamber, you would still be in touch with a group of business owners and managers who are decision makers and might become your customers. Your local PTA or gym could also be a networking group.
What can the Internet be used for?
The Internet can be used for a large variety of things:
-Searching
-Communicating
-Sharing
-Playing
-Watching TV or other networks, such as Youtube.
-Getting Information
-Creating Relationships
These are just some of the uses of the Internet. But without the Internet, computers would be much less efficient- in many people's opinion.
How to set up a new D-Link DSL 2460T wireless router?
Go To www.google.com then typ d-lik dsl 2460t then typ you your password and username then thay whell help you thank you for asking you.
They are more expensive and are slower than Ethernet.
star topology
You want to totally reinitialize the router and replace the current running-config with the current startup-config. What command will you use?
What is purpose of command ping?
ping is a test command. It sends a "ping" to a specified IP which should ACK back, when the ACK is received the message turnaround time is calculated. If the IP fails to respond it times out and reports failure. You can use this command to verify network connectivity, etc.
I believe 802.7 was marketed by Wang Laboratories as WANGNET. Once Wang passed through bankruptcy the technology, and the interest in it, went the way of the mini-computer.
What are differences between WAN and VPN?
Wan- is wide area network , vpn - is a virtual private network, vpns exist within lans, lan exist within wans.
Is the circuitry of the computer called the server?
No. While the term could mean a type of computer (which contains circuitry), the term server does not mean a computer's circuitry. The term has two interrelated definitions.
For hardware, the term server means a computer providing services to other computers on a network. The computers receiving the service are referred to as 'clients'.
For software, the term server means a piece of software on a computer that provides services to other networked computers. This software may require a a special corresponding 'client' software on the computers receiving the service. In other cases, the normal operating system may provide the necessary client or server software components, such as 'file sharing' and 'printer sharing'.
In short, the term could refer either to the computer providing network services, or to the software installed on it for this purpose.
The link below leads to a list of some general server types. Though the list is intended to be of hardware server types, the list is largely applicable to software servers as well.
Methods of improving the performance in an individual?
This question if VERY broad and has many answers. Lets just cover a bit until i get bored of tryping ay ;)
Well Improving LAN performance depends on alot of things. First of all we need to know what your using, These days most LAN's would be using your cat5 100BaseTx which is that blue network cable... This is usually UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). Now as this is unshielded you may be getting electromagnetic radiation causing excess collision in your network so upgrading to Shielding the cables may make a difference but this is uncommon.
If you are using a standard Hub it may be time to upgrade to a Router, The difference is a Router remembers where a client computer is and once located sends data to that specific computer where as a hub sends all data over the network to all computers on the network all the time... Routers are also more secure for this reason.
Identify your topology and ensure its the best for you. Now a token ring network is best for high trafic networks but would slow down a low traffic network, as a star network is great for low traffic but under high traffic suffers collisions, etc.
So I've just assumed that your using 100baseTx, Maybe your not and maybe is time to upgrade, Hey maybe you are and It still may be time to upgrade. the fastest networks available are probably fiber optics which comes in multi or single mode. Depending on the quality you need and how much your willing to pay is all where this comes into play... Multi mode would be best for a LAN where single mode for a WAN.
Well I hope this was of some help but really it all depends on your own network and at what point its being slowed down. Enjoy
What is the definition of a network cable?
A network cable allows two computers to exchange packets of information.
