The four benefits of using a network are:
They allow many users to access programs and data at the same time, they allow users to share peripheral devices, such as printers and scanners, they make personal communications easier, they make it easy for users and administrators to back up important data files.

The difference between Lan and Wan are:
Lan- a network of computers that are relatively near each other and are connected in a way that enables them to communicate { by a cable, infrared link, or a small wireless device.} Wan- two or more lans connected together generally across a wide geographical area.

Three common network topologies are: Star, ring, and bus

Examples of these are:











four examples of network operation system software are: windows xp, windows vista,unix,linux

The difference between Client/Server Networks and Peer to Peer Networks.

Client server -individual computers share the processing and storage workload with a central server.


Peer to peer- all nodes on the network have equal relationships to all others and all have similar types of software that support the sharing of resources
