what is networking in computers?
398704
Computer networking is the scientific and engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems. Such networks involve at least two computers separated by a few inches (e.g. via Bluetooth) or thousands of miles (e.g. via the Internet). Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of telecommunications.

How are you asking the question? \n\nNetworking in the social sense is meeting people, and knowing people that can help you in life. I'm in college and our professors always tell us to start networking so we can get a job easier after school. I've noticed in Business especially networking is key! It's sad but true, who you know sometimes is better than what you know. Sad but true....

A intranet is like the internet, except it is internal. Basically, it is a closed type of internet that only certain computers and/or locations can access.

Networking in Java is fairly simple. It has a lot of features through which one can implement application level networking. Java has specialised classes for Socket Programming, and many standard protocols (esp. TCP/IP suite, UDP etc. are well supported). IO streaming classes are also an integral part of the Java networking domain.

IN simpler terms, A switch is a place to plug all your network cables.  This gives you access to the other computers, printers, and usually the internet.\nThey make SWITCHES and HUBS.  A hub technically will reduce you network's ability to pass through data.  \nA Switch is a better choice, as it allows you to fully use the network's data transfer capabilities.\nHubs are cheap.  Switches are getting cheap.  \nGET   A   SWITCH!!!

(m)\n\nThe Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using a standardized Internet Protocol (IP). It is made up of thousands of smaller commercial, academic, domestic, and government networks. It carries various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks and URLs, and is accessible using the Internet.

A specialized network server that provides access to resources on the network for users not directly attached to the network or that permits network users to access external resources not directly attached to the network.\n\nCommunication may be Internet, dial-up or other methods.

LAN stands for Local Area Network.  This is a requirement if you have multiple computers in one local area (house, small building, etc.) that need to communicate with each other.  Once this is established, an internet connection can be introduced to the LAN and can be shared between all connected computers.  Hope this helps!\n\n~Scottie

A local-area network (LAN) protocol developed by Xerox Corporation in cooperation with DEC and Intel in 1976. It is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards. Local network generally offering a throughput of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.A common way of networking PCs to create a LAN.

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail , online chat , file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web .

buy a router\n\nA router (IPA pronunciation: [raʊtɚ] or [rutə(ɚ)]) is a computer networking device that forwards data packets across a network toward their destinations, through a process known as routing. Routing occurs at Layer 3 (the network layer i.e. Internet Protocol (IP)) of the OSI seven-layer protocol stack.\n\nA router acts as a junction between two or more networks to transfer data packets among them. A router is different from a switch. A switch connects devices to form a local area network (LAN).\n\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router

A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network that uses radio waves as its carrier: the last link with the users is wireless, to give a network connection to all users in the surrounding area. Areas may range from a single room to an entire campus. The backbone network usually uses cables, with one or more wireless access points connecting the wireless users to the wired network.

LAN -vs- WAN\n\nLAN - Local Area Network \n\nWAN - Wide Area Network...\n\nLAN - is all the computers / servers / printers (nodes) that are on your same network segment.\n\nThere is a techincal way to tell local from remote.\n\nIn an analogy... a LAN is all the houses on YOUR STREET.\n(and any house you can get to without getting into your car)\n\nA WAN is all the other houses, where you need a CAR or BUS or PLANE or TRAIN.\n\nThe BUS, Car Plane or TRAIN - to finish the analogy... would be something called a "ROUTER".

That is a question which requires a hugh amount of time to answer.  You'd do better to just start searching the web for information on networking.  Also, "network" is something of an ambiguous term. Are you referring implementations of OSI?
