Computer Networking

Consists of having two rings the outer ring or the primary and an inner ring or secondary ring, Data flows counterclockwise on the primary or outer ring and clockwise on the secondary or inner ring.

No, but segmentation is what will break a data message into smaller pieces (called segments) which eventually are turned into packets.

Reassembly occurs on the receiving side by taking the segments and putting the pieces back together (like a jigsaw puzzle).

Segmentation doesn't change the content of the data; it merely breaks it into smaller, more manageable pieces for the network.

Reformatting would actually change the content of the data in some way, and would have no effect on making the data smaller for data transport.

TCP/IP protocols are implemented by software, except for the bottom physical layer, which is implemented in hardware.

4 port switches can be purchased on Amazon for as little as £5.36. You can pay up to £195.86 if you wish for more advanced features and greater security.

There is not a significant difference in sound quality between wireless and wired speakers. The primary difference is user preference and the amount of work that it requires. Wired speakers are more work to install.

If you are getting an IRQ conflict after installing a new HW/SW you can see whats wrong by seeing IRQ settings of all the installed devices in the machine. To view your current IRQ (Interrupt Request) assignments in a Windows XP machine you can open Device Manager. Click on Start, click on Control Panel. -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button -> In Device Manager, select View from the toolbar and then click Resources by Type. Clicking on the Interrupt Request (IRQ) you can find IRQ settings for various devices in the computer. If you see a conflict. You can right click on that device and go to Properties. Under Resources tab you can see the IRQ settings among other properties. Here for a conflicting device you can deselect the Use Automatic Settings option. After this you can select a non-conflicting configuration from the pull down box and save by pressing OK. For some system devices the operating system may not allow you to change the settings.

Please rephrase your question: specify in more detail what you are looking for. e.g. what (kind of) components, access to what ?

It has been offered that: "8000000000 bits are there in 1000Mbps." However, this is not correct. Each M is 1,000,000 bits, so 1,000 M is 1,000 x 1,000,000 or 1,000,000,000 bits per second. Be careful if talking about MBytes of memory, which is 8 times as many bits. Thus, to transmit 1MB of memory at 1 Mbps would take at least 8 seconds (not including protocol overhead and errors requiring retransmission).

It is divided into LLC (IEEE 802.2) and MAC (IEEE 802.3) layers.
The LLC is used to identify the upper layer protocol from the received data.

The MAC layer is used to identify the particular host on the destination network.

Layer 3-7

The Integrated Router is both a DHCP client and a server (p 186 BMF)

malware or spyware.

malware specifically means a program designed for malicious purposes.

spyware specifically means a program which collects information without the owner's permission.

Spyware does not necessarily have to be malicious in intent, but is still considered "bad" because users feel it invades their privacy.

An error 138 network error - access denied error on Google Chrome indicates that the computer is unable to access the internet. The first thing to check is that either the Ethernet cable is plugged into the computer or the Wi-Fi connection is turned on and able to access the internet. If this has been checked and is working it could be a Windows or third party firewall issue, which can be fixed by allowing access to Google Chrome in the firewalls 'allowed programs' area. Once access has been given the computer may need to be restarted to allow full access.

To ping a computer, you must be sure that the PCs are on the same network. Boot the PC you wish to ping. In the bottom right corner of your monitor is the system tray and the network status is shown. Double click and the network connection(s) of your PC appear with either a red X, meaning there is no connection, or an arrow is between them which means there is a connection. Right click on the network you are using and select properties and record the IP address. Leave this PC running and then boot the other PC and run the command prompt. Again, check that the network connection is still working and type "ping" and the IP address.

It allows me to use my laptop to connect to the internet when I am in an area that does not have WIFI or a Hotspot.

The short answer is "no." The longer answer is that "packet switching" is the way the internet works. If you send a very short message, it might end up as a single "packet." A packet consists of a sandwich that contains your message as the filling. The beginning contains routing information - where you want the message to go, and eventually where the message has been (how many stops it made along the way and what their address is). The end contains information to keep the message "clean" and be sure we don't drop some words or letters, or add some.
If your message is long, it will probably be divided into several packets, and each packet is identified with a unique message identifier showing it is your message in a number of pieces and a sequence within the message. Each packet is then sent out over the internet. Each packet will probably follow a different route through the internet, stopping at different places along the way to the destination. At the destination, the receiving machine will recognize that a packet is part of a bigger message, and store it until all the parts are received. It will then assemble it as a single message and pass it on to your application, usually your internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
So...a line is more efficient when you fill it with large blocks of data. When you use packets you are duplicating a lot of information in each packet, and generating information to identify the packet and the data within it. Therefore, packets are inherently NOT effiicient for line usage. However...They are extremely effective in allowing the internet to get large amounts of data to/from places in a short amount of time by being able to process all your packets in "parallel" mode. So if your message takes 6 packets, those 6 packets can be sent from point A to point B through 6 different routes using a lot of different machines along the way. The message gets to you quicker than sending it all at once, which is line efficient but not network efficient. By the way, you may have heard the term "packet loss." You can now figure out that that means one of the packet's in a message never made it to the receiving machine. When the receiving machine receives a packet for a message, it starts a clock on that message. If it doesn't receive the rest of the packets in a reasonable amount of time, it flags the message as incomplete and logs the packet loss. You now know a bit of how the internet works.

"dB", aka decibels, is a logarithmic unit of measurement in base 10. A 10 dB change in signal power means that the power has changed by a factor of 10. A 20 dB change relates to a change of power of a factor of 100, etc. dB are computed using 10*log10(power). If measured in amplitude rather than power, this would convert to 20*log10(amplitude).
