IP address--Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that uniquely identifies a computer on the network. LAN--A local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a local area, like a home or office. PAN--A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among computer devices (including cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, and printers) close to one person. A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is made possible with Bluetooth. Subnet mask--Subnet mask is a number that identifies what subnetwork the computer is located on. WAN--A wide area network (WAN) is a computer network that covers a broad geographical area. The largest and most well-known example of a WAN is the Internet. Ethernet networking Wired Ethernet networking An wired Ethernet network consists of two or more computers connected together through an Ethernet cable. This connection type is commonly used in offices around the world and can be used to build computer networks in the home. Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet Important Check local code requirements before installing Ethernet cable or other wiring in your home or office. Your municipality may require you to obtain a permit and hire a licensed installer. Ethernet is available at three different speeds. Standard Ethernet runs at 10 Mbps, Fast Ethernet runs at 100 Mbps, and Gigabit Ethernet runs at 1000 Mbps. Most home networks are built using Standard or Fast Ethernet components. Business networks are typically built using Fast or Gigabit Ethernet components. To create a wired Ethernet network, you or your electrician must install special Ethernet cables in your home or office. Using a router The most common way to set up a wired Ethernet network is Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) using a router. A DHCP network configuration uses a router to automatically assign IP addresses to each computer or network device. For information on setting up a router, see the router's documentation. Example router-based Ethernet network The following is an example of a wired Ethernet network. The network is made up of a router, a cable or DSL modem, your computers, and cables connecting each of these components.
