what is the difference between port and bus?

suman namburi's answer is partially correct.  \n\nBy Princeton University's WordNet definition, a port is also physical; a port comprises the hardware and associated circuitry that link one device with another, especially a computer and a hard disk drive or other peripherals.\n\nHowever, in networking, a port IS a logical connecting point for a process.

Here's a list of well-known port numbers:\n\nhttp://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers\n\nAssuming that's what you meant.

Firewalls can be set to allow traffic for specific "ports".  What this means is, you can enable communication for certain applications, without turning off the entire firewall.\n\nFor MSN Messenger, I believe it is port 5060 and port 1503

phillip, if you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk.\nThere IS no difference.\nSee, a web server is USUALLY considered an HTTP or FTP server, ie. something most browsers can see.\nbut technically, any kind of proces which opens a certain port and listens to in on a machine is a server...A web server.\nWell, that given it's tunning on TCP/IP, otherwise it's another type of server...Like an Apple Sever, for example.

A hub connects computers, but sends all traffic to all ports which results in network collisions.  \n\nA switch is like a hub, but smarter.  It keeps track of which computer asks for which piece of data and has far less collisions, if any.  Switches that are for home users are only slightly more expensive than hubs.\n\nA router is like a switch, but also can assign ip addresses, forward network traffic coming in on a certain port to a certain ip address, block certain ports, etc.  \n\nA network bridge merges, for lack of a better word, two network connections on a computer.  Honestly I haven't ever needed a network bridge so I can't say much about them.

It is a RS232 port. It used for printers and scanners. It could also be used in the case of embedding technologies. \n\nhttp://www.arcelect.com/rs232.htm

firewire\n\nIt's quicker then a usb port and it allows you to transfer outside data quicker such as harddrive info from another computer or transfer a vhs tape to a dvd , cd or vice-versa.

may be the BUS is not correctly pinned???\n\ncontactt your HardWare meerhcant and complaint about it?\n\n\nGood luck

There are a few type. Serial Bus topology are computers connect in serial. the request for data are passed on to the next computer till it find the one with the data.weakness if one computer is down or out that ring will not be completed.Star topology: more versatile but take more time to trace problem if one computer is producing error. Ring topology bidirectional takes up more processing.

IP and Port blocking is not really viable for what you are talking about. When a connection is made, the source machine randomly assigns a port, so it changes all the time. \n\nPort blocking is used only to stop a specific service connection. For instance blocking port 80 will stop web connections, but this blocks on DESTINATION port, not source port since the destination port will be the one that doesn't change.\n\nCheers :)

PCI: A computer bussing architecture that defines electrical and physical standards for electronic interconnection.\n\nSlot: A physical connector on a motherboard to hold an expansion card, SIMM, DIMM, or a processor card in place.\n\nIDE: Integrated Device Electronics. A hard drive interface system developed by a group of manufacturers whereby the controller system was integrated into the electronics for the rest of the drive; all of the components were within the hard drive unit removing the need to have a separate controller.\n\nSocket: A method of communication between two processes. A socket is an identifier that the application uses to uniquely identify an end point of communications. The user associates a protocol address with the socket by associating a socket address with the socket.

If your draw graph between distance and time for these two buses (assuming both starts with velocity=0), \n\nthe graph will be a straigh light passing through origin and having a slope 'm' which equals to the speed of respective bus.\n\nSince, the only difference among the buses is the distance travelled, the graphs of these two buses differ only in terms of slope. \nFor Bus-A, slope=speed=distance/time = 300/12 = 25 mps\nsimilarly for Bus-B, speed=slope = 200/12 = 16.67 mps\n\nHope this helps :)

it is a type of bus which supports an accel. graphics port.

ports is like a small socket usually used to connect the device to and from your pc, like mouse, printer, keyboard and so. It has many types: USB, PS/2, Parallel, etc. \n\nInterfaces is a type of available slots like PCI slot, where you can insert any card or device inside your pc like soundcard, tv card or graphic card. Slots is the place where you insert your card.

Well a port can't be both firewire and usb. So you need to look and see if any of them are a different shape and that will answer your question.

One of various network topologies. A Bus network is one in which all of the computers on the network are connected to the main wire of the network.
