This document summarizes key concepts about computer networks: 1. It defines local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs), noting that LANs connect computers that are physically close while WANs connect computers distributed beyond metropolitan areas. 2. It explains that networks allow computers to share files, resources, and programs. Servers contain shared resources and clients access those resources. Networks can be configured in a dedicated server model or peer-to-peer. 3. Essential networking hardware includes network interface cards, cables, hubs/switches, and software for connections and resource sharing. Wireless networks also connect devices without cables.

3. What Is a Network?
Network is a combination of hardware, software, and
cabling, which together allow multiple computing devices
to communicate with each other.

4. Networks can be classified as local area networks (LANs)
and wide area networks (WANs).
The main distinction between these classifications of networks
is the radius of the network.
A local area network is a network where the computers are physically close
together. Computers in a wide area network are often distributed beyond
metropolitan areas.

5. All About Sharing

client.
