The document provides an overview of internet connectivity, detailing the necessary hardware, types of connections (wired and wireless), and protocols used for communication. It discusses web browsers, web pages, home pages, domain names, web servers, and IP addresses, highlighting their roles in accessing and sharing information on the internet. Additionally, the document emphasizes the World Wide Web (WWW) as a significant subset of the internet that organizes and links documents globally.

2. To share information or communicate with
others, computers are required to be
connected. This interconnection of
computers is called a network. An
interconnection of networks is called
INTERNET. To connect to the internet
following hardware are required:
Computer
Modem

3. There are various types of connections
provided by different internet service
providers.
Wired connections
Wireless connections

4. .
In this type of
connection, the
internet
connection is
provided
through wires.

5. A dial up connection
allows you to connect
to the internet using
your telephone line.
The advantage of this
this type of connection
is that it is very
economical.

6. .
This is considered
as one of the best
type of connection
available to home
users

7. ADSL(Asymmetric digital subscriber line)
connections are becoming more & more widely
available & can provide an excellent internet
connection.

8. .
Wireless internet access, sometimes
refers to as a hotspot, is a LAN(local area
network) ran by radio waves rather than
wires. You need data card for this
connection.

10. The Internet is the network of networks. It connects
millions of computers together globally, forming a
network in which any computer can communicate with
any other computer as long as they are both connected
to the internet.
The world wide web or WWW is a way of accessing
information over the medium of the medium of internet.
The WWW is a part of the internet& is collection of the
online documents. WWW uses HTTP(Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol) to link documents with each other
around the world. These documents can contain
pictures, sounds etc.

11. So, we can say, if there are many rules on the internet
like e-mails, which relies on SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol), news groups, instant messaging & FTP(File
Transfer Protocol), & one such language called as
HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) is used by the
word wide web.

12. Web Browser
Web Page
Home Page
Domain Name
Web Server
IP Address

13. .
A web browser is a software
application for retrieving,
presenting, and traversing
information resources on the
WWW. A web browser can also
be defined as an application
software or program designed to
enable users to access, retrieve
and view documents and other
resources on the Internet.
Although browsers are primarily
intended to use the WWW, they
can also be used to access
information provided by web
servers in private networks or
files in file systems. The major
web browser is Google chrome.

14. .
A web page or webpage is a
document or information
resource that is suitable for the
World Wide Web and can be
accessed through a web
browser and displayed on a
monitor or mobile device. Web
pages may consist of files of
static text and other content
stored within the web server's
file system (static web pages),
or may be constructed by
server-side software when they
are requested (dynamic web
pages). Client-side scripting can
make web pages more
responsive to user input once
on the client browser.

15. .
This is the starting point or
front page of a Web site. This
page usually has some sort of
table of contents on it and
often describes the purpose of
the site. For example,
http://www.apple.com/index.ht
ml is the home page of
Apple.com. When you type in
a basic URL, such as
"http://www.cnet.com," you are
typically directed to the home
page of the Web site. Many
people have a "personal home
page," which is another way
the term "home page" can be
used.

16. .
This is the name that identifies
an Web site. For example,
"microsoft.com" is the domain
name of Microsoft's Web site.
A single Web server can serve
Web sites for multiple domain
names, but a single domain
name can point to only one
machine. For example, Apple
Computer has Web sites at
www.apple.com,
www.info.apple.com, and
store.apple.com. Each of
these sites could be served on
different machines.

17. .
A Web server is a computer
system that hosts websites. It
runs Web server software,
such as Apache or Microsoft
IIS, which provides access to
hosted webpages over the
Internet. Most Web servers are
connected to the Internet via a
high-speed connection,
offering or faster data
transmission rates. A fast
Internet connection allows
Web servers to support
multiple connections at one
time without slowing down.

18. .
Also known as an "IP number" or
simply an "IP," this is a code
made up of numbers separated
by three dots that identifies a
particular computer on the
Internet. Every computer, whether
it be a Web server or the
computer you're using right now,
requires an IP address to connect
to the Internet. IP addresses
consist of four sets of numbers
from 0 to 255, separated by three
dots. For example "66.72.98.236"
or "216.239.115.148". However, if
you connect to the Internet
through a network or broadband
connection, it is more likely that
you have a static IP address.
