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.

Why crossover configuration of unshielded twisted-pair UTP for Ethernet cable is needed in connecting 2 PCs through Ethernet interface?

It is needed because you need to reverse the signals of a transmit line to a receive signal line. This is what network connectivity devices do, such as hubs, switches, etc. If you aren't using a connection device then the cable has to do that job.

How do you replace telex?

What is error control in networking?

An error-detection code by itself does not control errors, but it can be used to request repeated transmission of errored code words until they are received error-free. This technique is called ARQ. In terms of error performance, ARQ outperforms forward error correction (FEC) because code words always are delivered error-free (provided the error-detection code doesn't fail). However, this performance does not come free of charge - we pay for it with decreased throughput.

The chief advantage of ARQ is that error detection requires simpler decoding than error correction. ARQ also is adaptive because it only re-transmits information when errors occur. On the other hand, ARQ schemes require a feedback path that may not be available.

What is used to coordinate the storage and transfer of email between users on a network?

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used to coordinate the storage and transfer of email between users on a network. Other internet protocols include HTTP and FTP.

What makes SSH secure?

Passwords are transferred over ssh in hashed form, not plaintext. Assuming you have a strong password, it would be very difficult to figure it out based on it's hash.

What is the difference between a modem and a router?

The difference between a router and a modem is that a modem connects you to the internet and a router connects you to a network. If you have 3 computer one modem and a router all computers would be able to connect to the internet because they are on a network.

Under what circumstance would it be appropriate to use private IP address?

The usual reason to use private IP addresses is when you have to share a single public IP address (or a few public IP addresses) among a larger number of computers. Nowadays, this situation is quite common - it is no longer possible to assign a public IP (version 4) address to each and every computer; IP addresses are starting to get scarce. In the scenario mentioned above, private IP addresses according to RFC 1918 are used in combination with NAT (network address translation).

Difference between gant chart and network diagram?

Network diagrams display the project work as linkages through the chronological flow of work from start to finish. Gantt charts visually display primarily the work breakdown and the associated durations.

Why is my Wireless network is stuck on identifying with windows 7?

There are multiple reasons for that. The router you are trying to connect to might have MAC-filtering running, or your firewall does not have appropriate destination port open. Or you have wrong drivers and so on.

Why is it advisable that a network administrator use SSH instead of Telnet when managing switches?

All commands sent over Telnet are transmitted in plain text. An intruder on the network could potentially capture ethernet frames as they move across the media. The captured frames could reveal the network configuration including passwords.

SSH (Secure Shell) encrypts all data sent between the client and server.

In a peer to peer network only the central host computer supplies the resources the other computers request resources from this host?

No - a peer to peer network means that every device (even a standalone server) has the same authority in the network. Each device can choose to share resources with other devices in the network.

In such a network there really isn't a 'central host' computer, unless you put a file or print or database service on a server that the other devices might want access to.

How do you Find ip address of an Internet post?

Are you wanting to know how to find out a Web site's IP address?

If so, then follow these simple steps.

If using Windows XP:

  1. Go to your Start menu.
  2. Click Command Prompt.
  3. Type Ping (the Web site that you want to know the IP address for).

Is port no 80 and 8080 is same?

No, physically they are different numbers. Logically, however, both port 80 and port 8080 listen for HTTP traffic, so logically they are the same.

Port 80 is the standard, production port for HTTP traffic. Port 8080 is a 'test' port for HTTP traffic.
