Implementations of VNC?

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is a graphics based system that allows computers to communicate with each other over a 'virtual' network. This means people can access their work computers at home, or their home computers at work.

What does DHCP stand for or what does DHCP allow you to do?

DHCP Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A Computer network protocol also known as Client/Server protocol.

The DHCP automatically provides an IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.

Two home networks across the street from each other - What do you need to connect them together wireless?

There are couple solutions. One of them is just to buy a powerful router ($100 and more range) and good wireless cards. Another solution is more complicated and it's based on so called "bridge". To create a bridge you need to have two routers (it's highly recommended to use the same brand and model) supporting bridge technology and of course wireless routers or lan cables to connect computers inside of the houses to routers.

First solution is cheaper but has shorter range. Second is more expensive but has longer range.

Explain the store and forward method of switching give the advantage and disadvantage of this message switching technique what is packet switching?

In this type of switching, the entire frame is read and stored in memory before being sent to the destination device. The switch checks the integrity of the bits in the frame by recalculating the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. If the calculated CRC value is the same as the CRC field value in the frame, the switch forwards the frame out the destination port. The switch does not forward frames if the CRC values do not match. The CRC value is located within the frame check sequence (FCS) field of an Ethernet frame.

Although this method keeps damaged frames from being switched to other network segments, it introduces the highest amount of latency. Due to the latency incurred by the store and forward method, it is typically only used in environments where errors are likely to occur, such as environments that have a high probability of EMI.

Lan speed is measured in?

LAN speeds are measured in units of millions of bits per second (mbps) or billions of bits per second (gbps)

What are the rules of informal network?

If something is informal, it does not have set rules.

225.225.225.0 and 120.12.10.3 on the same network?

255.255.255.0 is subnet mask and 120.12.10.13 is ip address.

Does all link layer protocols need addresses?

In some way, shape, or form, every device on a network needs an address, regardless of the OSI layer being used. Otherwise there is no way to deliver a frame to the correct device.

What does MAN means?

manning means a god or it is what it says

Why is it important for networks to be able to maintain a unique address?

For identification.

If 2 networks suddenly had the same IP address, information might bedelivered to the wrong one of them.

What is purpose of a subnet mask?

A subnet is a shortened term for a sub-network. It is part of the Internet Protocol, or IP services used in computer technology. It is an integral part of the system, and it has been around since even before the World Wide Web.

How does a client determine the host name of the client computer?

Most operating systems have a methodology for determining the host name of a client. On the command line, the command is usually 'hostname', for both Windows and Unix/Linux.

From the GUI Windows perspective, looking at the System or Computer properties will reveal the hostname.

What device can you use for having maximum bandwith in a PC connected in a network?

Router having maximum bandwidth in network. and in network fiberoptic cable having max bandwidth for data travaling

What devices are needed to create an ad hoc connection and what mode does this type of network use?

An ad-hoc network is a wireless network in which all connections are wireless. The only devices required are wireless network interface cards in all of the devices that want to participate in the network.

How can a Lan become a Wan?

if the LAN is connected to another LAN over a wide distance using point to point links then it becomes part of the WAN (but it doesn't become a WAN by itself).

Why does Comodo block my lan connection and how do i set it to allow my mapped drives and lan chat to function?

found it!!

ok, for anyone who needs the answer..

"you configure CFP by a two-step process. Go to Security/Tasks/Add a Zone; give it a name and define the IP range (or go with the default, which is the entire subnet). Then go to Security/Tasks/Define a New Trusted Network; use the Zone you just created. This will put two rules at the top of Network Monitor; the first will Allow IP Out from Any to Zone, and the 2nd will Allow IP In from Zone to Any - this allows unencumbered communication across your LAN."

What is the telltale factor for ascertaining where faults in a cable lie?

Impedance.

Depending on the cable type, it may also be possible to use a device called a "reflectometer", which sends a pulse down the wire and calculates the distance based on how long it takes for the signal to bounce back. This type of device works best for coaxial type cable.
