A local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a small local area, like a home, office, or small group of buildings such as a college. Current LANs are most likely to be based on switched Ethernet or Wi-Fi technology running at from 10 to 1000Mb/s (megabits per second). The defining characteristics of LANs in contrast to WANs are: (a) much higher data rates, (b) smaller geographic range and (c) they do not involve leased telecommunication lines.\n\nTechnical aspects\nAlthough switched Ethernet is now most common at the physical layer, and TCP/IP as a protocol, historically many different options have been used (see below) and some continue to be popular in niche areas. Larger LANs will have redundant links, and routers or switches capable of using spanning tree protocol and similar techniques to recover from failed links.LANs will have connections to other LANs via routers and leased lines to create a WAN. Most will also have connections to the large public network known as the Internet, and links to other LANs can be 'tunnelled' across this using VPN technologies.

There is very little difference in xp home and xp pro if you have sp2 installed...xp pro does offer a little more about networking

Its better to have VLANs and interconnect them via routers or Layer 3 switches.\n\nIts not good to have isolated islands for each dept or area, since nowadays resources like internet bandwidth have to be shared among multiple users and locations.

Download is when you copy something from "the internet"\ndown to your home network.\n\nUpload is when you send something from home back out.\n\nIt's common for many home network solutions (ie. DSL)\nto support faster downloads than uploads.

im not sure of the price difference, but i believe Xp media center is Professional with added goodies.\n\nI believe this because it supports/has Remote Desktop built in, it has System restore built in.\n\nBut if your into music, pictures, videos and watching tv (if your computer has a tv tuner) then its well worth it. For me it was.\n\nif you do decide to get it try out microsoft.com for some cool pieces of software to help further personalize it.\n\n(you can also download programs for home too so either way take a look)

Wi-Fi is short for wireless fidelity. It refers to a local area network which uses high frequency radio signals to send and receive data over short distances (approx. 200 feet). In other words, the ability to access the Internet via a wireless connection.\n\n"metro WiFi" simply refers to a large "metro" (meaning city) area which has WiFi coverage.

You have to ask the right question.\n\nHow do your users use the LAN they are on? Server based applications? Internet access (ie. Mail, browsing, web apps, etc?)\n\nIf they use server based apps then file sharing is more important.\nIf they use the Inet then network apps is more important.\n\nIf you are the SysAdmin it is your job to make everything work for your user community. They are your customers!

In my experience they were basically the same.  They each have local channels, High def channels and all the other amenities.  \n\nI'd think it would just come down to how much each charges for the same sort of package, extra equipment and how good they are at service.

Biggest difference is price and available speed packages.\n\nCable usually allows larger bandwidth at much higher prices.\nDSL allows reasonably large bandwidth for normal useage at reasonable prices.

XP Pro is more suited for a professional/commercial environment. XP Pro also caontains tools like Remote Desktop connects that are not available for XP Home. I'm not sure if those are present in MCE. Windows XP Media Center Edition lets you experience video, audio, pictures, and TV through a convenient user interface that makes it more cenvenient to enjoy digital media. \n\nThe link I attached compares each version of windows XP to the other. You will find it very useful.

Packet8, Sunrocket, Opex, MyPhoneCompany, and others....\n\nVonage is overpriced.\n\nYou can check out this link to compare different providers:\n\nhttp://metrot1.com/content/view/21/32/

There appears to be no physical, and little functional, difference between the DVD-R/-RW discs and the DVD+R/+RW discs. The DVD-R ("dash” R) and -RW media are officially approved by the group called DVD Forum, and the DVD+R ("plus” R) and +RW are not. The DVD+R/+RW media are supported by the DVD+RW Alliance.\n\nThe main difference seems to lie in the DVDs' built-in defects management, the way they can be formatted and, of course, their price.\n\nSOURCE : http://netforbeginners.about.com/cs/multimedia/a/DVD_discs_2.htm
