 What is a Network?
 A network is a group of devices that are
connected through any form of
communication channel to share the
information and expensive devices. The
communication channel may be either
a physical wire (channel) or radio
microwave, or satellite channel
networks.
 A network is a means of transmitting
and/or receiving, that is, exchanging
information from one or more
resources.
 Computer Network
 The computers in a network are connected via
hardware and software
 Hardware
 Physically connects the computers together
 telephone lines, fiber-optic cables, routers and
gateways, and the computers themselves.
 Software
 Enables communication and exchange of
information, by following a set of rules, called
protocols
 Computer Network
 Interoperability
 Different types of computers, using
different operating systems, can be
connected, communicate with each other,
and share information
 Computers must agree to follow the
same network protocols
 Why use Computer
Networks?
 Resource sharing
 Share data, programs, and equipment
 Across geographic boundaries

 Communications
 Cooperation between dispersed groups
 Improved Reliability
 Replication of files and resources allowing
operation to continue despite hardware
failures
 Why use Computer
Networks?
 Cost efficiency
 Small computers have a better
price/performance ratio than large ones
 Scalability
 Add more computers to the network as
required
 Components of
Computer Network
 Servers:
 Computers that provide shared resources
to network users.
 Clients:
 Computers that access shared network
resources provided by a server.
 Media:
 The wires that make the physical
connections.
 Components of
Computer Network
 Shared data:
 Files provided to clients by servers across the
network.
 Shared printers and other peripherals:
 Additional resources provided by servers.

 Resources:
 Any service or device, such as files, printers, or
other items, made available for use by members
of the network.
INTERNET
Internet is the
network of
networks i.e. a
global network
which make WWW
(world wide web)
NET ANATOMY
The Web physically consists
of your personal computer,
web browser software, a
connection to an Internet
service provider,
computers called servers
that host digital data, and
routers and switches to
direct the flow of
information.
 WEB BROWSERS
A web browser is the software
program you use to access the World
Wide Web, the graphical portion of
the Internet. The first browser,
called NCSA Mosaic, was developed
at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications in the
early 1990s. The easy-to-use point-
and-click interface helped
popularize the Web. Microsoft
Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator are the two most popular
ones.
 NAVIGATING THE WEB
The Web is known as a client-
server system. Your computer is
the client; the remote computers
that store electronic files are the
servers. To visit the website,
enter the address or URL of the
website in your web browser.
Browser requests the web page
from
the web server that hosts the
requested site. The server sends
the data over the Internet to your
computer. Your web browser
interprets the data, displaying it
 INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDER
 Internet Service Provider, a company
that provides access to the Internet. For
a monthly fee, the service provider
gives you a software package,
username, password and access phone
number. Equipped with a modem, you
can then log on to the Internet and
browse the World Wide Web and
USENET, and send and receive e-mail.
INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
 In addition to serving individuals, ISPs
also serve large companies, providing a
direct connection from the company's
networks to the Internet. ISPs
themselves are connected to one another
through Network Access Points (NAPs).
 ISPs are also called IAPs (Internet
Access Providers).
 Dial Up
Network Connection
 What is a dial-up network
connection?
 What do I need?
 How can I configure a dial-up
connection in Windows?
 How do I use the dial-up
connection?
 What is a dial-up
network connection?
 A dial-up network connection is a
component in Windows XP that
enables you to connect your computer
to a network via a modem. If your
computer is not connected to a
company network or a high-speed
internet connection (ADSL, cable
modem) and you want to connect to the
Internet, you need to configure Dial-Up
Networking.
 What do I need?
 A computer

 A telephone line

 A modem

 A (free) account with a Internet

Service Provider (ISP) (for
example: Tiscali)
 How can I configure a dial-up
connection in Windows?

than one modem connected to your computer).
6. Fill in an appropriate name for the connection.
7. Fill in the correct telephone number. For Tiscali, these
numbers can be found here
8. Click 'Next'.
9. Fill in your (Tiscali) username and password for the connection.
10. Select the icon to place a shortcut on your desktop and click 'Finish
 How do I use a dial-up
connection?
1. Connect the modem on your computer
with the telephone line.
2. Double-click the icon on your desktop.

3. You will see following screen.

4. Click the button 'Dial' to activate the dial-
in process.

5. When the dial-in process is completed,

you
will see an extra network icon in the
taskbar, indicating the connection is
successfully established.

6. If you want to disconnect the internet

connection, right-click the icon on the
taskbar and choose 'Disconnect Now'.
 Search Engine
 A program that searches documents for
specified keywords and returns a list of the
documents where the keywords were
found.
 Although search engine is really a general
class of programs, the term is often used to
specifically describe systems like Google, 
Alta Vista and Excite that enable users to
search for documents on the World Wide
Web and USENET newsgroups.
 Search Engine
 Typically, a search engine works by
sending out a spider to fetch as many
documents as possible. Another program,
called an indexer, then reads these
documents and creates an index based on
the words contained in each document.
 Each search engine uses a proprietary
algorithm to create its indices such that,
ideally, only meaningful results are
returned for each query.
 Searching Web using
Search Engine
 Web is not indexed in any standard manner,
finding information can seem difficult.
 Search Engine are popular tools for locating
web pages, but they often return thousands
of results.
 Search Engines crawl the Web and log the
words from the web pages they find in their
database.
 Searching Web using
Search Engine
 Successful searching involves two key steps:
1. You must have a clear understanding of how to
prepare your search. You must identify the main
concepts in your topic and determine any synonyms,
alternate spellings, or variant word forms for the
concepts.
2. You need to know how to use the various search
tools available on the Internet. For example, search
engines (e.g., AltaVista) are very different than
subject directories (e.g., Yahoo). Even search
engines themselves can vary greatly in size,
accuracy, features, and flexibility.
 Some Popular
Search Engines
1. AltaVista 8. Vivisimo
2. Google 9. MSN
3. FastWeb 10. LIVESEARCH
4. Excite
5. HotBot
6. Dogpile
7. Metacrawler
 Audio on Internet
 Traditional uses of audio on the Internet
depend mostly on conventional transfer
techniques, meaning a file must be
downloaded from a server, usually via FTP,
Gopher, or electronic mail, before hearing it.
 Because of this time lapse limitation, audio
content providers have used Internet servers
mainly as centrally located storage devices;
 Forms of audio common to non-computer
media, such as telephony, radio broadcasts, and
tele/videoconferencing, continue on the
Internet.
 The functions that require audio input/output
are easily handled by a computer with some
additional audio circuitry, a microphone,
speaker(s), and inputs for audio media, such as
a CD player.
 The audio functions that work across networks,
are telephony, broadcast audio/video, and
teleconferencing.
 Telephony
 Telephony applications, such as DigiPhone, are
able to use the bandwidth of a modem, 14,400
bits per second, to achieve full-duplex audio,
functionally replacing the telephone.
 Telephony applications have practical obstacles
to overcome when trying to replace the phone.
 Speakerphone and handset solutions have thus
far been implemented rather clumsily because
they must coordinate several audio inputs and
outputs, but have potential for future success.
 Broadcasting
 Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and/or
video signals which transmit programs to an
audience.
 Broadcasting is a useful feature in e-mail
systems. It is also supported by some fax
systems.
 In networking, a distinction is made between
broadcasting and multicasting. Broadcasting
sends a message to everyone on the network
whereas multicasting sends a message to a
select list of recipients.
 Tele/Video Conferencing
 Teleconferencing is a telephone call
between more than two participants.
 Video conferencing is a communications
technology that integrates video and voice
to connect remote users with each other as
if they were in the same room. Each user
needs a computer, webcam, microphone,
and broadband internet connection for
participation in video conferencing.
