Chapter 7. Networking and Internetworking

A network is the interconnection of two or more computers, facilitating the exchange of information between them. Networks aren't just for large companies; you can network two computers in your home to share a single Internet connection, share a printer, easily exchange files, or even play a networked game. Networking whether it's between two computers in the same room or two computers on opposite ends of the Earth can open a host of possibilities not feasible on a standalone system.
