A computer network connects shared resources like file servers and communication channels to allow workstations or terminals to access and exchange information. It consists of a host computer, transmission lines using technologies like UTP or STP cabling, and networking devices like hubs, switches, and routers to connect the workstations or terminals to the host and each other. Common network operating systems that manage these connections and resources include Windows, Linux, Novell Netware, and Unix variants.
