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.

18,810 Questions

What do users typically access a network through LAN?

Network shares (typically music/video), networked "LAN: games, remote into other computers on the LAN.

Does your fingerprint portray authentication based upon something the user is?

Yes. Any biometric reading, such as a fingerprint, retina scan or DNA sample portrays authentication based upon something the user is.

What type of network has the computers connected to a hub in the center?

A center connectivity device means a star topology is being used. If it is a managed hub such as a MAU or MSAU unit, then it is a token ring network.

Where can one find Netgear router default IP addresses?

They are several avenues for getting help when it comes to finding out the default IP address for the Netgear router. Some of those avenues are Comp Networking, PC Support, Whats My IP, and Netgear to just name a few.

What services are offered by the Barracuda Network?

Barracuda Network offers many programs for your work or home computer. They specialize in various computer security programs and offer a warranty and after sale service.

What is a 1-bit flag in the TCP header used to indicate the initial value of the sequence number?

The SYN flag is a 1-bit flag in the TCP header used to indicate the initial value of the sequence number. It is only set in the first two segments of the three-way TCP connection establishment sequence.

Why do computers need a name IP address and a MAC address?

That is actually the way the computers connect. Parts of the IP address are used to route the data to the correct ISP, and the rest are used for the network can find the other machine. If you use any site, they already know your IP address, since that is necessary so the servers will know where to send the data.

What equipment is used in connecting two wireless routers?

Wireless routers can be connected via an ethernet cable in the same way as wired routers. If the second router has a client mode feature then the routers can also be connected wirelessly otherwise the second router will only function as a wireless access point.

How do you access Google through IP address?

type http://173.194.36.3/ in your address bar and press enter and you have it.

Google has various IP addresses.To find more of them:

Start --> Run --> type "ping google.com" (without "_")

OR

Search them on Google!

How is multiplexing and demultiplexing applied in telecommunication?

Time Division Multiplexers are a bit historical but here's an answer.

A number of channels are required to be assembled onto an aggregate. Thirty 64 kbit/s channels could go onto a 2 Mbit/s aggregate for example.

A multiplexer is constructed to a standard such as G.700 series in the ITU-T. In the same box a de-multiplexer is constructed to decode the received 2 Mbit/s.

Also a manufacturer could decide to build a proprietary standard of his own. Timeplex were good at this and made excellent systems with benefits over CCITT later ITU-T standard. Advantages were being able to mix data at different bit rates and also include voice, compressed or not compressed, with or without signalling - if needed. Multiplexers could form meshed networks rather that A-B dumb-bell links and these may need management to sneak in and out of them.

Time Division Multiplexers did what they say, the interleaved the data for each channel or tributary so that it could be received and broken out at the far end. Each channel had its own slot on the frame of the system and came around in a rate which enabled the original bandwidth and clock to be recovered and presented in just the right interface.

How do you use a sierra wireless air card with a wireless router?

A call to ATT engineering revealed that the Air Card Data via the ATT Communications Manager will not operate over a second network.

One solution is to route the USB cable 1st to a USB switch that will select 1 of either 2 or 4 ports on the switch and then connect to the desired computer ... you must maintain a length of less than 16 feet to the switch and after that you can route from the switch to the various computers using USB cables. If any one of the legs of USB cable after the switch is greater than 16 feet, use an Active USB extender cable. These are essentially a 1 port USB device which amplifies the signal every 16 feet. You can daisy chain up to 5 of these devices. ... Andy

ATT likes to tell you that you can't use the aircard with a wireless router, and if you call for support they will make you put it in your computer before they will even talk to you. HOWEVER, there ARE routers that will use your aircard as the modem. I use a CradlePoint router and it works great! There are also other routers that will test and certify for various aircards.

Convert binary to octal?

To convert a binary number of an octal number, group each set of three bits into a group, starting from the right. Then, convert each group into its decimal equivalent. A 1 in the leftmost bit is a 4, a one in the middle bit is a 2, and a one in the right bit is a 1. For example, 101 is 4+0+1, or 5. Grouping should be as follows:

Binary: 0011010011010110

Grouped: 0 011 010 011 010 110

Octal: 032326


You may also find programs that will perform this conversion for you. Windows Calculator can perform this translation for you when using the advanced mode that shows binary/hex/octal options.

Can a Token Ring and Ethernet use the same physical topology?

No, because they use different methods for data transfer. Token Ring is where the computers are arranged in a sort of Ring Shape. there is no router involved. the packet is sent until the recipient is found. Ethernet networking requires the use of a Router or a Switch, or Multiple computers. The data is transfered to the Router, then sent to the recipient directly. multiple computers can be stringed together in a "Daisy Chain", so they all share the MAC address of the first PC in the chain. This can be used to defeat MAC filtering, but that should be covered in a different questions.

What is a file in a database?

A file is nothing but a term used by database administrators and programmers where data is stored in a specific format. In short, a file is where in all the records or sets of records are stored on a computer.

If you have two different usb ports on your computer do you have to download 2.0 drivers for each set of ports?

No. When you update the USB Host, it updates all the 'ports'. Actually, the physical ports are just places to plug things in. The updating actually happens with the software hardcoded into the USB Root Hub, which controls all the ports.

Why is network layer associated with IP addressing?

The network layer uses IP addresses to determine whether or not to route a packet from one network to another. Since an IP address has two parts, the network id and the host/client id, this makes it a natural fit (IP addressing) for the network layer.

Why do you use router?

to connect multiple computers to the same internet connection, and to network the computers together

Routers allow multiple computers to share a single internet connection. This helps save a lot of money. Apart from this, routers also add a safety element to a local network. The individual IP addresses of the computers on the local network are never exposed to the internet. Instead only the external IP address of the router is publicly known. Moreover, many routers come with additional features like firewalls, filters and other security enhancing abilities.

Describe why an application developer might choose to run an application over udp rather than tcp?

UDP is a transport protocol that does not check for errors. One would use it when speed of the transport is desired, not quality or reliability. If you were streaming video or using voice, then getting the packets to the destination quickly is more important than making sure each sound gets to the receiver.

How does a client notify a server that an ASCII data transfer is requested?

Packet 23 is a request from the client to start the data packet transfer from the server. The text STOR text.txt signifies this.
