Local Area Network

There may be several things to check:

Miscunfigured system:

- Try to deactivated your LAN connection and re-activated it (or reboot the system, the results would be the same: the driver gets reset)

- Check the setting of your connection - DHCP on/off? When no DHCP -> IP, subnet and gateway (for example: 192.168.0.5, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.0.1)

- Shut down firewalls (Windows xp offers a build-in firewall which might be activated be a Microsoft security patch)

- Keep the connection as simple as possible to spot the point of error.

Broken hardware:

- check if there are any LED signals at the network port on your computer, most network ports show two LEDs above the RJ45 plugin, one should be green all the time, the other one will flash when there is traffic on the line. When there is no LED lit, there is no (electrical) connection between the Hub/Switch and your computer.

- Try exchanging the patch cable

- Try resetting the Hub/switch

- Last shot: Try reinstalling your network driver (it is unlikely but might be a driver problem)

Yes and No - BOOTP is used in situations where the device needs an IP address and can be matched by its MAC address. Therefore, a client receives an IP address that was matched by the MAC address. That IP address may be part of a subnet, or it may not be.

The protocol itself doesn't care if there are subnets or not. It gives out an IP address, which may be subnetted.

See the related link for an example of a BOOTP entry.

Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.

The port numbers are as follows:

137, 138, & 139

The following components required to meet a network specification.

1. The network devices like switch, router, cables and other all network devices.

Ping is a special command line utility which allows to check accessibility of particular hosts. It uses ICMP protocol and because many online services block it, the utility not always provides correct results.

10BaseT has transmission rate about 10 Mbps and 802.11b is about 11 Mbps. Usually wire connections are closer to their theoretical limits than their wireless counterparts.

The other two segments must be link segments - connecting through network connectivity devices. Adding any clients on those two links would cause additional attenuation, which is not good for the network.

The OSI 7-Layer model.

To establish a peer-to-peer network connection between two lans, both pc must have network hardware. One multi-port sharing device like a hub is needed to support the computers. use a crossover cable if two computers are the only available unit.

Up-link ports are used to "Up-link" a device to another device such as a hub, router, or switch. Normal ports are used to attach a device to the before mentioned devices. A lot of devices have "auto configuration" or auto-sensing ports. With these auto sensing ports, any port can be utilized as a up-link port.

In the early days of networking, you had to use a crossover cable to up-link a device to another switch, hub, or router. This was before they had up-link ports.

Load leveling is a process of making sure the server or servers do not go above a certain percentage of task load.

Load balancing is another means of taking several servers and distributing the compute load so that individual servers do not get overloaded with requests.

A repeater contains one input port and one output port, so it is capable only of receiving and repeating a data stream.

google is pretty good.

It is used by the receiving routers to request more information about any entry in the DBD.

"The RFC 1918 private network numbers are 10.0.0.0, Class Bs between 172.16.0.0 and 172.31.0.0 inclusive, and all Class C networks that begin with 192.168. All addresses that begin with 127 are reserved, but not as valid private IP addresses."

The term "geographical area" is somewhat ambiguous. Generally speaking, there are 4 types of networks PAN (Personal Area Network), covers a short range, perhaps 20 foot diameter. This is what a bluetooth network usually is. LAN (Local Area Network), covers a building, and perhaps nearby buildings. A common stand alone office network is one of these. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), covers a wider area then a LAN, but less then a WAN. This is not a very common term, but is usually something along the lines of a business that has two buildings in the same city, but not very close to each other. WAN (Wide Area Network), any large network span. The internet itself is a form of WAN.

Attenuation is a measure of how much loss a signal experiences when it travels down a communication medium( loss as heat, absorbed by communication medium).It is mesured in decibels Attenuation is a term that refers to any reduction in the strength of a signal, when transmitting over a long dinstance. Attenuation occurs with any type of signal, whether digital or analog. It is also called loss of signals, The extent of attenuation is usually expressed in units called decibels (dBs).

It lets you know what material the cable is made from.
