An Intranet is network that is set up to be used in an organization. while internet is a public network.\n\nIntranet will requires you to get permission before entering the intranet, as you can't enter into American Express's Intranet without permission, but you can enter in internet anonymously\n\nIntranet may use NetBios, AppleTalk and other protocols for connectivity but internet will alwasy us TCP/IP

The internet was not the beginning of computers being able to talk to each other.  There was e-mail, chat, and bulletin boards before the internet.\n\nFor example, many people who worked for large companies used programs like Lotus Notes on their internal networks.  Companies also had banks of modems you could dial into.  So if you had a PC at home, you could dial into the company server to check your mail or chat with other people.\n\nThere have been computer networks -- services people could dial into -- since the days of the Apple II.\n\nBefore there were personal computers, there were mainframes and minicomputers where many people could be logged in at once.  Instead of having your own computer, you had a terminal that logged you into the one main computer.  While you were on, you could e-mail other users on that computer, chat with them, etc.

The biggest differences are going to be the size of you database and your security.  Businesses are going to need dedicated storage area and firewalls and/or proxy servers.  Home networks can do most of this through software instead of hardware.

The Internet is the infrastructure of the overall network, i.e. the nuts and the bolts.  Basically it amounts to the physical hardware, software, cabling, protocols, etc. required for running the network.  The Web is one application which is an overlay over the Internet.  Other applications are email, file transfer, remote login, file sharing (P2P), audio-video streaming, VoIP, etc.

The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a global, read-write information space. Text documents, images, multimedia and many other items of information, referred to as resources, are identified by short, unique, global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) so that each can be found, accessed and cross referenced in the simplest possible way. The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet itself, but the Web is actually something that is available via the Internet, just like e-mail and many other Internet services.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_wide_web

I typed in what ou asked on google and it is good.\n\nMany people use the terms Internet and World Wide Web (a.k.a. the Web) interchangeably, but in fact the two terms are not synonymous. The Internet and the Web are two separate but related things. \nThe Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. 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. Information that travels over the Internet does so via a variety of languages known as protocols. \n\nThe World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. Web services, which use HTTP to allow applications to communicate in order to exchange business logic, use the the Web to share information. The Web also utilizes browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, to access Web documents called Web pages that are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and video. \n\nThe Web is just one of the ways that information can be disseminated over the Internet. The Internet, not the Web, is also used for e-mail, which relies on SMTP, Usenet news groups, instant messaging and FTP. So the Web is just a portion of the Internet, albeit a large portion, but the two terms are not synonymous and should not be confused.

The Internet ("inter-" + "network") is a large computer network made up of several nodes of smaller networks. Ultimately, the Internet is just a system for billions of computers to be able to send data to eachother at any given moment.\n\nThe Internet relies on the Internet Protocol (IP), layer 3 of the OSI model. IP provides a way to specify where you want to send data ("IP addresses"), but not much that plays a very obvious role on the Internet...\n\n...And what exactly is a protocol?\nA protocol is just a way of doing things. It can be very detailed and strict or very lenient. For example, the way you get dressed in the morning could be called a protocol. At the same time, the way to file your taxes is a protocol.\n\nProtocols provide guidelines that should be followed for 'optimal' performance - if you send you taxes to the wrong address, you'll have an angry government. If these are not strictly adhered to, something might horribly break. But when talking about computers and "networking", a protocol is usually a "communications" mechanism that helps computers talk to - and understand - eachother.\n\nThe same people who created the Internet Protocol also created higher level protocols (protocols that directly rely on IP). A couple of these protocols are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Again, these protocols don't explain what the most obvious parts of the Internet are - like WWW and FTP - but they provide some insight into the multi-layered complexity of it all.\n\nTCP and UDP are the two more popular Internet protocols. There are higher level protocols that rely on these, and inevitably even higher level protocols than those. But TCP and UDP (with IP) provide the basic underlying functionality of the Internet and define an important concept: the client-server networking paradigm.\n\nThis paradigm has two parties to every discussion, a server and a client. A server, so named because it "serves" clients, listens to certain types of network traffic and when it "hears" its name being called, it answers. A client is the one doing the calling.\n\nA server, also known as a service or daemon, is really just a program running on somebody's computer. It is designed to provide some functionality for requesting parties (clients). Likewise, a client is a computer program designed to talk to a server. Many such clients make these "discussions" transparent to a user (and many don't require any user interaction at all).\n\nServers rely on protocols in a way to understand their clients and vice versa. If you were to talk to someone who only spoke a language you didn't understand, you couldn't derive anything useful from your attempt at conversing. This is the case with servers as well. The protocols define languages the clients and servers can use to better understand eachother.\n\nAn example of such a protocol is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP provides a way for servers to serve documents (computer files) to requesting clients. Namely, a "web browser" (a client) connects to a "web server" (a server) and asks for a "web page" (a computer file). The server responds by telling the client something in language it understands - it says "here is the document you wanted", "I couldn't find that", or "there was a problem".\n\nSince you are writing PHP code, you probably understand that HTTP has some more options than just those, and what HTML is. With that information, you have a pretty good idea of what the World Wide Web is. WWW does not make up the Internet, but many such things - FTP, gopher, NNTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP, etc., etc., etc. - together make up the Internet.\nWith all of these, the programs that support them, and the people that require them, the Internet works. Really, how the Internet works is that millions

The Internet is a series of interconnected networks.  Those networks all share in common the use of TCP/IP.  Routers are employed to move data from one network to another.  A variety of agencies are involved that handle administration of the network numbers each network needs to make the Internet function.   At its most basic level, the Internet works because every computer that is connected to it has a unique IP number to identify it.  I've linked to the organization that provides IP number allocation for the US and a variety of other countries.\n\nOf course the Internet has many other services that are built on top of TCP/IP.  Many of these services were established through a Request for Comment (RFC) system, where innovators published specifications for other types of protocols or data transfers.  This standards process has been very important to the growth of the Internet.  For things like the world wide web, someone designed a protocol for way that web browsers and web servers could talk to each other (HTTP protocol) and if you google for HTTP RFC you'll find the original documents that were published that describe how HTTP should work.

The Internet is the pathway. Like the Interstate highways are the pathways around the country. \n\nThe World Wide Web is all the sites you will find along the pathways. Just like all the buildings and businesses along the Interstate Highways.\n\nHope this make sense for you.

True\n\nInternet is a connectivity of millions of Servers and PCs all around the world and the web is the content or information that stays in those servers and PCs.

He's basically right.\n\nInternet is what you know. WWW and such.\n\nWhen you connect your PC's together into a network, that's an Intranet.\n\nI believe an Extranet is connecting two Intranets together by way of the Internet.

Because it's an intranet. It's available only to selected computers. Ask the system administrator of the intranet for more information about which computers can access it.
