JAVA Java is a programming language that is specially designed for

writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer

through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an object-

oriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and

LAN Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively

small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are conﬁned to a

single building or group of buildings.

NAT Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that

makes many different IP addresses on an internal network appear

to the Internet as a single address. For routing messages properly

within your network, each device requires a unique IP address. But

the addresses may not be valid outside your network. NAT solves

the problem. When devices within your network request information

from the Internet, the requests are forwarded to the Internet under

the router’s IP address. NAT distributes the responses to the proper

IP addresses within your network.

Network A network consists of a collection of two or more devices, people,

or components that communicate with each other over physical or

the same ofﬁce space, room, or building.

WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in different geographic locations and are

connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest

possible transmission speed between two devices.

PING Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a
