But do you know what type of network is best for you? Do you know the basic principles to installing a network in your home? Do you know ? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, then perhaps you should read on.

Network types

First of all, a network allows you to have connected to the same , between the computers in your home, print documents through a printer that is connected to a , and share files that are stored on other computers. It seems like a dream come true, doesn't it? But what is the best type of network for you? You have to make the decision of whether or not you want a wireless network or a wired network. If you choose wireless, you have to know how to set it up so that all of the computers can talk wirelessly to the . If not all of the computers are wireless capable, then you may have to move to a wired network. With a wired network you have to worry about running wire throughout your home or investing in upgrades for your computers to make them wireless.

You also have to know what type of activities you and your family are going to be doing on all of the computers. This is because you want to invest in a router that can handle the load. If the router cannot handle the load, then you're going to have computers within your home getting booted off of the network.

Network installation

The network installation part can be either easy or complicated. It depends on how you look at it. You have to have an internet connection and you have to know your network type. You also have to know what computers in your home are wireless capable and which are not in case you choose to do the upgrades instead of installing wire throughout your home. If you're setting up a wireless network, the easiest way to connect is if you have Windows Connect Technology through your Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2000, or Windows 98/ME. Then again, you could be running a different operating system, which can make setting up your network a bit more difficult than if you were running on a Windows operating system.

An alternative

Then again, you could probably save yourself a lot of headaches by hiring a professional to take care of the installation process. A professional will do an assessment to determine what type of equipment you need to give you a network that is complete. If any of your computers need what is called a network adapter to become wireless capable, the installer can help you with that. Once all of the equipment is determined and acquired, the network installer can then run wire or set up your wireless network for you. You'll be connected in no time and the only thing you have to do is reach in your wallet. Fortunately, home network installation is not an expensive endeavor and it takes a lot off of your mind. You don't want to buy all of the wrong equipment, hook it up, and then find nothing works. If you're not sure, turn to a professional so that you know everything is right.If you plan on creating a home network installation or a wireless home installation for your computer system, seek the professional, certified advice from EasyTechCare.]]> How to Set Up and Install Your Own Home Network http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-set-up-and-install-your-own-home-network http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-set-up-and-install-your-own-home-network#comments Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:15:25 +0000 dynamic host configuration protocolhost configuration protocoldynamic host configurationethernet cablessetting up a home networkdomain name systemwireless adapter http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-set-up-and-install-your-own-home-network Setting up a home network doesn't have to be difficult. It also depends on what time of home network you want to install. Maybe you want to install a wired network or maybe you want to install a wireless network. It depends on the capabilities of the computers within your home as to what route you're going to take.

The wireless network

The wireless network is probably your easiest network to install. That's because you don't have to hide a cord all the way around your home. As a matter of fact, you just need to have a computer that is wireless capable and a router. Seems easy enough, right? Well, it can still be a bit tricky because you have to program that router so that all of your computers can talk to it.

So let's say that your computer is not wireless capable. What do you do now? Well, you need to get a to plug into the computer or you need to plug it directly into the router with an Ethernet cable. In homes with multiple computers, there is sometimes that one computer that is not wireless capable. If the others are, they can simply talk to the router from wherever they are. If they are not wireless, then need to be run from those computers to the router. The router is the hub for your network.

Furthermore, you have to set up your so that the router knows what's going on. You also have to set IPs and your . If you don't do these things, then your computers are not going to be talking to each other the way you want them to. They have to know who and what they are talking to in order to ensure that permission is granted. You don't want someone to sit outside of your home on a laptop and pull off of your network. They could gain access to very personal and very sensitive information if you don't set everything up the way that it needs to be set up. If you're not sure how to do this, then it is time to seek professional help.

The wired network

This can be a bit more difficult than the wireless network for the simple fact that you have wires you have to hide everywhere. Everything else as far as DNS, IPs, and DHCP applies because someone on the outside could still compromise your network. Again, you don't want that to happen. What if you have financial information on your computer? Someone could very easily get a hold of credit card and bank account numbers. So again, if you have difficulty with setting up your network, it is a good idea to look into having a professional take care of the job for you.

Once you have your network set up, you'll be able to share files with the other computers in your home. You can share video files, music files, and so much more. It is a lot of fun to be able to share all of that information. It is almost like having external hard drives all over your home. You're able to access information beyond your own hard drive and beyond the Internet. Those are the reasons why more and more homes are installing home networks. When something is stored into the "shared" folder on the computer, other computers are able to access it. Permissions can also be set to allow other folders to be accessed from another computer in the home. This is a good way to keep an eye on the kids and see what it is they're downloading while on the Internet.EasyTechCare for professional network installation]]> Home Wireless Networks Are More Popular Than Ever http://www.artwoo.com/article/home-wireless-networks-are-more-popular-than-ever http://www.artwoo.com/article/home-wireless-networks-are-more-popular-than-ever#comments Fri, 08 Sep 2006 04:27:07 +0000 wireless networkswireless routernetworks wirelesswireless adapterspurchasing equipmentpublic areasindependent stores http://www.artwoo.com/article/home-wireless-networks-are-more-popular-than-ever wireless networks. Wireless networks are very popular and are found in many places such as cafes and other . There are no actual cables and the set up is very minimal. With the boom in this technology and an increase in the manufacture of this technology this has resulted in a decrease in the cost of setting up wireless networks and made them available to the typical user. This means the technology is no longer affordable by only educational institutions and businesses.

In order to set up home wireless networks there are several pieces of equipment that will be required to get your network started. The use of a is normally recommended for the benefits it gives to the home user such as the ability to provide internet sharing and the additional security. The use of access points is available but these are more expensive and more useful on a larger scale. The use of a wireless network adapter is also important and one is required for each computer that has to be connected to the router.

When purchasing the equipment for your home wireless networks it is often advisable to look around for the best price and warranty. There are many manufacturers and the equipment is available generally as a retail item and comes with some warranty. The larger outlets will carry these items but it is often good to check smaller as they may actually have lower prices for the same piece of equipment with the same warranty. It is also possible to get great deals online and have the equipment delivered directly to your home.

It is important to assess home wireless networks properly when . This is to avoid the wastage of funds on unnecessary items. The best wireless router to purchase is one that also has the ability to be connected by wired ports. This can cut down on costs if two computers are relatively close together as the purchase of is approximately 10 times more expensive than normal wired network adapters. Also these wired network adapters can come with your computers and are thus not actually costing anything extra. It is essential to know how you plan to move your computers and assess if it is necessary to have the wireless network on all the computers or to connect some via wired connections.

In configuring your home wireless networks it is a possibility to completely leave out a wireless router and to communicate between computers with your wireless adapters. This technology uses a peer to peer mode and is not as easily explained as the network using a router. The use of the adapters in place of a router makes it more difficult to configure access to the rest of the network and its resources.

Tired of dangling all over your rooms? Need a tangle-free, uncomplicated way to transfer and receive data? What if your data could just magically zoom from one device to another without your even seeing it? This is just what WiFi and Bluetooth technologies do. It may surprise some of you to know that the block diagram of a wireless looks exactly the same as one with wires. This is because only the wired network is removed and replaced by the wireless one. Everything else remains the same. The only difference is, instead of data going over wires, it travels wirelessly.

So what makes this magic work? Usually, a wireless capable transmitter is fitted onto a transducer. This transmitter will be in sync with all the standard . The Wifi or Bluetooth enabled transmitter may be placed within in the transducer itself. This helps the creators to get the signal over a wire less system from the transducer. Because only could be sent over such networks, using the regular WiFi or a Bluetooth is not possible under these circumstances. So these get sent as an . Before using it at the destination point, the RF signal is isolated and its value is taken.

If an does the work of transmission, it is generally transferred in digital mode. Designers of the technology have realized that the standard forms of transmission carry more weight and the data they convey are easy to use. The data would then make sure that the WiFi or Bluetooth is received using a well suited design. If such is the case, it is also convenient to provide a network as these devices also come with a plug out of their Ethernet ports. This allows the device to become a part of the computer network without any hassles. An added advantage is that, the software programming used to capture the input from Ethernet ports such as these, is pretty simple to use as well.

Building your own wireless data acquisition system is pretty easy too. Just look up the relevant devices on the internet. Many websites are dedicated solely to marketing such devices. Depending upon your needs, they can create and deliver the wireless data acquisition network to you. It is better to have an entire network built on a wireless platform, than to have one on a wired platform. In the short run, the wired system may seem to make sense, because it is cheaper. But in the long run, wireless will become far less expensive, so it makes sense to invest in one. Why is the initial investment in wireless larger than a wired system? Because in one go, the company will set up the device that will never require maintenance, never need repair work and never give you complaints. A wired system is cheap to set up, but difficult to maintain. There also seems to be a reduction in the overall gain of companies in using wireless data acquisition networks.This article was written by Brian May of Small Business Local which is a performance based marketing agency that provides search engine marketing columbus ohio for it's clients.

You want to be armed to the teach with knowledge of just what it takes to connect your computers to one another.

You first should decide which network is best your you. If your computers are in the same room,the Wireless network should not be considered.The by cable network should work just fine.

Computer that may be close to each other but cannot be seen may and have phone jacks close by can easily be networked with the Network.While PCs that are far from each other can be connected with the ,assuming wall outlets are nearby.

And when there are computers in different rooms and you want the convenience of moving the systems from room to room,the more expensive Wireless Network is the way to go.After you decide on the type of network that is best for you,knowing what components you'll need to purchase will be a great help.Let's take a look at each network and the components needed to get it up and running.

The WIRED ETHERNET NETWORK

If your computers are in the same room,the basic network kit can wire your systems together.Be sure to carefully open any kit or component you purchase and do not damage the box it came in.The purpose for this is to make it easy to return the component if needed.

Basic kits will have instructions and software for the network as seen as two .Better known as ,these NICs are installed in empty slots in the system unit.The PCI slot is where the card is installed and there are the USB adapters as well.The network will need cabling to connect the computers and the CAT 5 or is the one to look for.

Ethernet networks come in two speeds,which are 10 and 100mbps or megabits per second.The wired network will also need a Hub or a Switch to direct traffic from each system.If you want fast traffic,and who don't,you will want to connect a Switch instead of a Hub.If you want all PCs to connect to the Internet,most kits come with Special Bridging Software which links the systems together.

The WIRELESS HOME NETWORK

Wireless networks rely on radio frequency to transmit and receive data.Wireless network equipment will offer you the choice of both wired and wireless connections.

If your computers are in direct line of each other,the IR or Infrared frequency can be used.But most wireless networks now use the Radio Transceiver technology with computers being located just about anywhere.

You will need a Wireless Router to connect each PC to the network.Wireless NIC Cards must be installed in each computer in the network.When you purchase your wireless kit,take note of the indoor range.

As you can see when looking at the wireless Router,you have the option to wire your computers together should something go wrong with any wireless component.Take note of the difference between the wired nic and the wireless nic cards.

The POWERLINE NETWORK

The powerline network uses the electrical wiring in your home to transfer data to and from each computer.Present powerline networks run between 50kbps or Kilobits Per Second and 350kbps.

This network has a drawback in back it will have lots of electrical noise which will cause the network to lose speed.And other PC users can snoop in your computer if they know how.

This network will need a Router for data transfer and nic cards for each system.A Bridge will be needed for access to the internet.These Bridges can be used with your Router.

The PHONELINE NETWORK

The components you will need in the Home Network are close to that of the Wireless network.In most cases,the 10mbps speed network is fast enough for home users.

The computers are connected with a Switch,a gateway,or Router to share Internet access and to send data to each computer through the phone line network.This network is considered the easiest to setup.

Phoneline Network adapters are installed in each PC. The USB or Universal Seriel Bus port connection is the most commonly used adapter for Phoneline networks.To reduce line noise,a Phone Filter may be needed.If you plan to connect a phone and line in one phone jack.you will have to invest in a Line Splitter.Be sure each computer in the network are close to a phone jack.

The Phoneline Network is thought to be less expensive .more dependable and faster when compared with the Powerline network.

In a nutshell,all networks will need some type of adapter inserted in the computer.Each network will need a hub, switch,or router to transfer data.Windows 98,Me,and XP will have the needed software to make everything work together.Adapters and and other hardware will come with device driver software which enables the hardware to talk to the computer.

We have taken a brief look at the hardware needed to network two or more computers.Connecting the hardware was rather simple when we networked our computers using the wireless technology.Learn all you can about PC networking and you will be grateful in having this knowledge should you experience computer problems.

Since we have seen basic network components,its time to see how each component is installed and connected.Then we're going to see how to move data from one machine to the other and share the internet using broadband with a DSL or a Cable modem.Remember to enjoy learning about your computer by performing as many tasks as you can without causing damage to your system.

With the fast evolution and advancement of the Internet, millions of people all over the world make use of the Internet in their daily life. The internet offers a lot of useful information such as weather forecast, entertainment, research, music, news, online shopping, and many more. The Web also provides a more convenient way for people to communicate with others even in far away countries.

Businesses are also dependent on the Internet in dealing with their clients whether local or abroad. They too are kept posted with the trends as well as stock updates though the Net. They also use corporate e-mails in nearly all of their correspondence. Customer services and technical support of many companies also rely on the power of internet. Indeed, the Internet had become a necessity for ordinary people as well as business people.

Because of enormous growth of dependency on the Internet, people want to have internet connection even when on the go. This is now possible through the development of wireless Internet. Wireless Internet is popularly known as Wi-Fi, which is the trade name of this kind of wireless technology. A is commonly called as hot spot in which a LAN or transmits as opposed to a wired network.

Internet connection is broadcast with the use of a connected to a computer system that functions as the server. The server broadcasts the signal to clients which have Wi-Fi capable devices such as desktop computers, PDAs, laptops, mobile phones, , and many more . The wireless internet covers diverse IEEE 802.11 advanced technologies such as 802.11n, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a.

A home network can be set with wireless Internet, as well. This is done through the utilization of a router which performs as an access point. The router broadcasts Internet connectivity to Wi-Fi enabled devices within its area of reach. With this set of connections, anyone from the family can make use of their laptops or desktops and can gain access to the Internet.

What's more, wireless Internet through home network can also be accessed by neighbors without your knowledge. To resolve this issue, a password security can be configured so that only authorized devices can have access to the network. With the growing risk of security issues, the security protocols for Wi-Fi log on have been made available with the employment of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and the Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2).

Wireless internet through its public hot spot is being offered for free to its customers by many business establishments. These establishments include internet cafes, food chains, coffee shops, hotels, and restaurants. Some airports also provide the same service for travelers' convenience. These features are becoming very prevalent in many places and countries. There are also a number of cities which provide wireless Internet access to their residences and visitors. Since the hot spot can cover only a certain area, you have to be within the range of the hub in order to log on to the Web.

Significantly, a wireless Internet is of great advantage compared to wired network. Wired network usually consumes a lot of time in order to set up in a building or house. It also entails more expenses as it requires a lot of UTP cables to be wired for each of a client's computers. In some instances, there is a need to route wires through thick wall or ceilings. Wireless LANs can be deployed easily and is less expensive. More clients can be added to the network without the necessity for extra materials.

Since 2008, many of the latest laptops and gadgets come with a built in wireless network device. There are also a lot of gadgets which can be applied for computers or laptops that do not have any wireless network device. Some of these devices are the USB Wi-Fi adapters, PCI wireless adapters, PCMCIA Wi-Fi cards and other similar devices. There are also wireless repeaters used to extend the range of signal of any existing wireless network. This device is ideal for locations having many physical barriers like thick walls and in cases where there is a need to share the Internet in two separate buildings.For more information on Wireless Internet please visit our website.]]> Securing Your Wireless Internet Connection http://www.artwoo.com/article/securing-your-wireless-internet-connection http://www.artwoo.com/article/securing-your-wireless-internet-connection#comments Wed, 24 Oct 2007 01:25:01 +0000 wi fiwireless internet connectionemailssidbecome increasingly importantwireless access pointhacker http://www.artwoo.com/article/securing-your-wireless-internet-connection wireless Internet connection without security can easily give anyone access to your files, , and even gives others the ability to make changes to your computer.

These types of security problems will probably have little impact on most users. Occasionally surfing the web at a coffee shop or having a wireless adapter set up on a printer will likely not bring down the house. To a business holes in security can cost time, money, and could possibly be a legal violation. A badly secured Wireless Internet connection is an open door for s to use the technology to cause general mischief or to even commit crimes. The most common methods currently in use to secure a Wi-Fi connection are s, Wi-Fi Protected Access, and WEP.

SSID (Service Set Identifiers)

Every data packet sent over a Wi-Fi connection has a specific identifier attached to it. This identifier, or SSID, can recognize particular wireless networks and everyone accessing a particular network must have the correct Service Set Identifier. From a security standpoint SSID alone offer almost no protection, but it does give a network a specific name making is clear what network a user in connected too.

Knowing where you are connected too has due in part to a wireless internet attack called The Evil Twin. While this may sound like something Dr. Evil would use, it's a common hacker technique. The way it works is a hacker takes in a mobile , usually set up on a laptop, and then enters a public area where an access point already exists. If no SSID is set up, then someone may actually log on to the hacker's computer giving them access to all data sent and received. This is a great way to get access to usernames and passwords.

Even with SSID a hacker is going to name their network something confusingly similar. If you are at your favorite coffee shop and are about to log on, check the names of the networks carefully. Be careful if you see two possible networks with very similar spelling like these:

=95 CoffeeHouse =95 CofeeeHouse

The hacker is hoping his network shows up first in the list, and that users will log on so quickly they won't realize what they are doing.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA was originally designed as an answer to security holes that were becoming apparent in the widely accepted WEP technology. Wi-Fi Protected Access is an attempt to create standards within the wireless security industry, and begin a move towards unifying the market. The Wi-Fi Alliance designed the technology and a scattered market is beginning to see a unified method of security on the horizon.

The two main differentiators between WPA and WEP are key size and the number of packets that actually carry the key. The number of characters in a WPA key is considerably more than a WEP key, and it would taking sifting through many more data packets to actually put a WPA key together.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection):

Wired Equivalent Protection uses encryption to protect data as it travels via radio waves from transceivers. This means that when you send your email from your laptop it becomes encrypted, is sent out wirelessly on radio carrier waves, is received by a wireless access point, is then decrypted and sent on to the Internet as any wired connection would. As the name implies this security was designed to provide the same level of security a wired connection would. This is not the case, but the security is usually strong enough for most users.

The reason WEP has never become as secure as a wired network is there is simply no way around the fact that anyone can intercept radio wave and get the data out of them. The level of encryption that the data has will mean the information is meaningless unless the interceptor has the WEP key. The problem here is that all data packets carry a piece of the key and that in time, with enough packets, the key can be produced. This is a lot of trouble to find out where a user has been surfing, but maybe not too much to acquire hundreds of credit card numbers. Again if you are not targeted by a hacker, WEP is surely enough protection. WEP is currently installed on almost all wireless routers available to consumers.

Wireless networks provide an inexpensive and easy way to share a single Internet connection among several computers. This means you only need one modem, and you can add additional computers to the network just by plugging in a wireless card and turning them on. The new machines are connected to the Internet immediately.

A wireless network also lets you access files and printers from anywhere in your home. It allows you to synchronize files you have on your laptop with your home computer, and you can easily send files between computers as well. Using a wireless network to transfer files is faster than sending them via e-mail or burning them to a CD! Because printers connected to one of the computers on a network are shared by all the computers on that network, you can write documents anywhere in your home, press the 'print' button, and collect the printed files from a printer that is connected to another computer.

If you are a game player, you've probably noticed that your games often have an option to play over a local area network or LAN. Wireless networks are LANs! This means you and your family can play these games together and don't have to be on computers that are next to each other to do so. Let's face it -- it's more fun to play against real people, and it's even more fun to play against people you know instead of strangers on the Internet. Your games will also play much faster over your LAN. Additionally, you can connect game consoles to the Internet and begin playing these games online. It is much easier to experience online play through an Xbox or PlayStation 2 that is connected to a wireless network than have to use a modem!

Wireless network connections are always on. This means you can connect to the Internet whenever you want without waiting for your modem to dial in. Laptops can be carried from room to room, and they will always have access to the Internet. Since wireless networks operate without the need to log in, you don't need to set up usernames or passwords.

The single greatest thing about a wireless network is that it is, well, wireless! The biggest reason to have a wireless network is because it eliminates the need for costly, ugly, and dangerous wires trailing all over your house. You can use your computer in any room you want -- no more being trapped near a phone outlet or walking over that tangle of wires in your home. The cost of getting enough Ethernet cables can add up, and sometimes, you may even have to make holes in your walls to set up a wired network. If you're renting, of course, this is impossible. With a wireless network, you don't have these problems - you can even use your computer outside if you want! And if you move, there is no need to disconnect and pack up all those wires, and you no longer have to examine all the wires for damage whenever your Internet connection goes down.

You can see how having a wireless network can simplify your life.

Wi-Fi, or , is Internet connectivity over dual band networks that are classified by a set of standards to as 802.11, 802.11a, and 802.11b. Although there are several other standards, these three are the most common at this time. Access over these types of networks is available in most major cities in the United States, and the technological standards used to define Wi-Fi access are in use in many other countries.

The 802.11 standards can be classified by several unique features, as well as the potential speed available. 802.11a and 802.11b are currently considered the two fastest wireless network standards offering uploads up to 11mbps and downloads at a brisk 54mbps. Clearly these speeds can compete with any satellite or DSL Internet offering, and many cable services are significantly slower.

Security Issues:

The convenience and ease of use of Wi-Fi connectivity also comes with several security issues. Along with the standard security concerns inherent in a wired connection, data sent and received via a wireless connection can be intercepted and received almost anywhere within a given range. With the introduction of Wired Equivalent Privacy, or WEP, encryption has become a standard security measure with almost every wireless high . Even with a in place the wireless data can be captured, it is simply unlikely that the information would be useful. Of course a determined hacker could eventually access the data, but this would be the exception not the rule.

A more common Wi-Fi security problem is referred to as an Evil Twin Attack. This type of attack takes place when a hacker hijacks a wireless network signal. The hijacker creates a wireless access point in their own laptop computer, basically offering a wireless network to anyone within range of their signal. The hacker then enters a popular wireless access area such as a coffee shop or mall and makes their network available.

When a user tries to log into the network offered by their favorite coffee shop, it is possible they mistakenly choose the hacker's wireless access point. This is a way a hacker can bypass many security measures often including encryption. Every packet of data sent or received via an Evil Twin is available to the hijacker. There are several security measures that can be taken to avoid an Evil Twin attack as well as other dangers. These include:

=95 Use WPA or WPA2 security. This configures all security keys at the router, and prevents any unencrypted data from being sent. This is often only available with a home service.

=95 When setting up home wireless access, rename the network from the factory preset to something unique. This will insure that the correct network is always used.

=95 Never log into a wireless network that does not use Secured Socket Layer (SSL) security.

=95 Use a smart software client that encrypts all data before it is ever sent to the Internet.

=95 Try to only use a wireless connection that provides Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WPA further strengthens the security provided by WEP.

Using Webster's of the component words, a VPN should have the following attributes:

Virtual - defined as "being such practically or in effect, although not in actual fact or name." Therefore, the first part of the answer to our question "what is a VPN" is that it is something that acts like a hard-, but is actually not.

Private - defined as "of, belonging to, or concerning a particular person or group; not common or general." So, a VPN should be one where the consumer has exclusive use of the network links. (Note, this is different from a Secure Network, which may be a private or public network.)

Network - defined as "a system of computers interconnected by or other means in order to share information." This is the goal of a VPN or any other type of network.

VPN explained in this manner is a network technology which gives the owner the ability to on the network by means of a private, exclusive link that is created by a method other than hard-wires or leased lines; usually via the internet. Before the internet, computers in different offices, cities or even countries could only talk to each other like people could - through telephone wires. As the needs for this type of communication grew, telephone lines became replaced by higher volume wires, like , but the concept was the same. For computer A to talk to computer B, there had to be a physical wire connection. For security reasons, you would want to make sure that only your 2 computers used that line, so you would contract with a vendor to "lease" that circuit. However, this type of network was expensive and difficult to expand, not to mention difficult for the client to have control over.

With the advent of the internet, connections no longer needed to be physical. As long as each computer has access to the internet, information can be shared using local ISP circuits, across the internet, and to the recipient in much the same way that it was when the computers were physically connected. This is why the way VPN works is considered a "virtual" network; the entire connection is not hard-wired.

The aspects of VPN explained in this article so far have not yet discussed an ever present concern in today's world - security. In an old WAN arrangement, the security of data transmission could rely entirely on the provider's guarantees. Today, however, a VPN keeps information private by means of encryption on both the sending and receiving end. There are a variety of encryption protocols, depending on what a company's needs are, who they need to communicate with (and therefore be compatible with), etc. The data is not only encrypted, but it is encapsulated, meaning it is sent in its own private "tunnel" or connection across the internet. No one can see the data, and even if they could, they can't decipher or change it. In this way, information can be sent across the internet without being susceptible to interception or corruption by those who are outside of the VPN.

In order to create a virtual private network, you would need to decide who needs to share information, in what directions, and how often. Next you would need to prepare a listing of the hardware and software systems you are currently using at each location. You might very well need to make changes so that the computers can talk to each other easily. You'll also want to consider just how important it is that your data remains secure, as this will have an impact on what type of protocol you select. Preparing this information will have you educated for the discussions you will need to have with potential vendors.

Anyone who uses a computer, which encompasses almost everyone, should be aware of the need to back up important data. There are options available for that may not be available for the single computer. The first step in deciding how to conform your network data storage is to determine the type of backup you should use. Usually a backup is done by making a copy of all of the existing files, like a snapshot in time, and then adding of the changes as they occur. The other decision to make is the location of where to keep the backups.

Here, There and Everywhere

If you donand#8217;t store very much on your home computer network, you may be able to manage your home network data storage project on DVDand#8217;s. With a small amount of information needing backup, you might just use rewritable DVDand#8217;s and make a full copy of chosen files as needed. If there is one or more computers on your network that is primarily used for internet use, , web surfing and games, then the need for data backup is limited. The of this type of home network data storage is that you have control over whether or not to back up a file and you choose how often to do the backups. The downside that many people donand#8217;t update their backups often enough and frequently the discs become lost or damaged due to practices.

The next step up is to create a server to store backup files for all of the computers on the network. A server is simply a hard drive, and software is available for small home networks. There are also network-attached storage (NAS) devices which act as a dedicated backup server. The benefit here is that the software can be set to automatically perform backup procedures at regular intervals. The drawback is that the backups are in the same place as the computers, and may fall victim to whatever type of disaster makes it necessary to use the backups.

Finally, there are remote services that will automatically use the Internet for home network data storage. Once signed up, the user is charged according to the amount of storage is needed. The benefit is that data is stored remotely and the updates are automatic. Drawbacks are that large amounts of data can be costly and that itand#8217;s only as reliable as the company. The decision on the type of home network data storage to use is based on the needs and resources of the network users. Roland Jefferson is an online researcher based out of Los Angeles, Calfornia.

This article will give you all the information you need in order to purchase a billiard light. come in many shapes and sizes, colors and styles. Assuming you already have the pool table, next you will need to figure out what length of light you will need.

As a general rule of thumb you will need 5 inches of light for every foot of pool table. For example a 7 will need a billiard light with a minimum of 35 inches in length 40 inches or more. You do not want to choose a short billiard light that will leave darkness around the edges of the pool table.

Another thing to consider is how high is the ceiling in relation to the pool table? The higher the ceiling, the larger the area the pool table light will cover. How much chain will you need to hang the light? Does the light come hard wired or soft wired? Hardwired means you cut the light on with a wall switch and soft wired means the light must be plugged into a wall outlet and turned on via an inline switch.

Something else you will need to keep in mind is what style of light bulbs will you choose? Florescent or standard? Many pool table light manufacturers can build your billiard light with either or. So be sure to ask when purchasing your pool table light fixture.

If you really want to get creative with your billiard lighting you don't have to use a traditional pool table light at all. You could use two or three pendant lights that have multiple light bulbs in each pendant to light the pool table adequately. When you think about it that way your lighting options are unlimited. Imagine 2, 3 or even 4 pendant lights hanging all in a row above your . Each can be wired to turn all of them on with the flip of a single switch or even multiple switches.

Several companies have started to manufacture , despite the fact that these devices are not part of the wireless standard. Wireless repeaters are designed to resolve certain problems with wireless coverage. The further away you are from where the wireless signal originates, the weaker the signal becomes. Eventually, you can't receive the signal at all, regardless of what equipment you have. The problem is sometimes addressed by running wires out as far as the network coverage is desired, and then have it 'break out' into wireless every now and then using a . This is generally more trouble that it is worth, since the idea behind a wireless network is to avoid installing wires! Wireless repeaters resolve the problem in a much better way.

Wireless repeaters work as a relay, taking existing and making them stronger. This makes the range of a signal bigger each time. If the repeaters are placed correctly, you can move computers a considerable distance from the wired portion of the network, the or access point, for example, without failure. The single requirement of this arrangement is that the extension points must overlap; a repeater can't repeat signals that it doesn't receive. Since signals are essentially , repeaters take all the radio signals they receive on a specific frequency and use their power to amplify the signals and rebroadcast them. The signal is not degraded in this process, so it can be repeated as many time as required.

, wireless repeaters could be placed in a line for several miles, extending the network out that far, and because these extension points don't need complicated computer technology to operate, they are much cheaper than routers or access points. Some companies combine repeaters and direction antennas to link to LANs that are several miles apart. This is a cheaper method than worrying about connecting over the Internet or installing their own underground lines. In the future, repeater technology could create wireless networks that cover entire cities.

As a consumer, you are currently limited to getting your repeater from large manufacturing firms such as Linksys and D-Link. These companies call their repeaters by different names, including Linksys' Range Expander and D-Link's Range Extender. There are several issues to consider when buying a wireless extension point. The most important is to make sure that it is compatible with the equipment you have. Because there is no standard for wireless extension points, you're better off staying with the same company that makes the rest of your equipment or at least investigate whether any new equipment will work with your system. You should also find out whether an extension point has any Ethernet ports. While it isn't necessary that this is included, it is useful if you want to connect the extension to a wired network. This issue arises basically if you want to connect two LANs in a wireless manner.

We all are familiar with and phone that use wireless technology. There are many more possible practical applications for wireless and the breakthrough developments happening in this field are set to revolutionize the future.

Wireless network means less maintenance and less cost. The advent of radio has put a stop to the use of telephones that uses wires to transmit signals. The new age cell phones based on wireless technology have made it possible for us to reach anyone anytime. Wireless technology translates into a lower cost since it obviates the laying down of cables and wires and . The other area where a significant impact has been felt is in the networking of computers. The usual scenario of having a Internet connection is all set to change. The wireless connections are soon going to be cheaper than the wired alternative and will also be easier to use. This will result in people shifting to the wireless option, if available.

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access () will be the next generation of wireless, an improvement over the existing that uses a standard called 802.11. The good news is that you will not need to change our equipment, as it will run on the existing hardware. Though scientists are still working on it, it is poised to take the world by storm. The first WiMAX equipment is slated for launch by the end of 2005. Its biggest advantage will be that it will cover a wide area, which could be as much as up to 50 kilometers! The term Local Area Network (LAN) will be replaced by (MAN), which would cover the whole city! It will also offer higher speeds of up to an astounding 10MB per second, coupled with improved security. All you would need to do is buy a subscription, plug into network and you are ready to go! If you still don't find it difficult to believe, you can visit the WiMAX Forum at http://www.wimaxforum.org or the WiMAX blog at http://wimax.weblogsinc.com for verification and further information.

Bluetooth technology is becoming a part of our lives now. Apart from replacing your USB port, it has the potential of replacing all the wires in your equipment, except for the power cord! Imagine the convenience of staying in a house that does not have wires, where Bluetooth connects all the equipment. It would mean fewer hassles in cleaning the house coupled with freedom from the fear of tripping over wires!

It wouldn't be surprising if by the end of the next decade wireless technology would becomes commonplace. It sounds convenient and should also be lesser in cost. Given its potential, we all seem to have a much easier life, with a faster and safer access to the world!

(3) Do you want hard-wired or ?

With this information at hand, you will know precisely which functions you need your security cameras to perform, and be able to tailor your home surveillance to fit your needs.

Location: To ensure the most effective surveillance of your home, the placement of your security cameras is of utmost importance. First and foremost, all entry points need to be monitored by high cameras of superior quality, permitting the recording of close-up face shots of everyone entering your home. Inside your home, wide angle color security cameras should be placed in all high traffic areas and rooms in which valuables are located.

The proper placement of security cameras permits you to maintain a record of many activities in your home, and you will be able to easily identify a person by the color of the he or she is wearing. Having a high-resolution, close-up shot of a perpetrator's face, knowing the color of his clothes, and a possessing a video recording of his activities is extremely valuable as evidence in court.

Black and White or Color Security Cameras: Black and white security cameras are most often more cost-effective and can andquot;seeandquot; better in lower light. Color security cameras give you the ability to obtain a more identifiable image of people and activities taking place in your abode. If you have a tight budget, keep in mind that installing black and white security cameras, which are lower priced but not as detailed as some color security cameras, is better than no security cameras at all.

Wireless or Hard-Wired: Choosing between wireless and hard-wired security cameras is can be a daunting task. Wireless security cameras are often preferred. Why? (1) Quickly installed wherever you need without a professional (2) Ability to take with you if you move (3) Extremely inconspicuous, without wires attracting attention.

Hard-wired security cameras are the ideal choice for permanent areas that need constant monitoring, or if your current security system is hard-wired and wireless security cameras are not compatible. Wireless and hard-wired security cameras both get the job of monitoring your home done, and ultimately the choice is what you feel fits your needs best.

Security cameras, either black and white, color, hard-wired, or wireless, give you high quality home protection by constantly monitoring particular areas of your home. The incorporation of security cameras gives you reliable assurance about the state of your home security--which is of utmost importance.

allows computers and peripherals to communicate using radio frequency (RF) transmissions rather than over conventional . Using wireless Ethernet adaptors, any device capable of being used on a regular computer network can be accessed over a wireless connection for task ranging from file and printer sharing to multimedia and internet access.

Wireless Ethernet Technology is outlined by a set of standards called .11. Although other wireless technologies and protocols exist, the term wireless is generally used in reference to the IEEE 802.11 standards.

The communication protocols for wireless networking are defined by the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard, which incorporates the 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g protocols (although other standards are in progress). The of these is 802.11b (Wireless-B), which is more reliable than the faster 802.11a (Wireless-A) standard, and is more cost-effective to produce and operate as well. Wireless-G or 802.11g, is a newer protocol that is becoming more widely adopted by vendors as it is capable of speeds up to 54Mbps rather than the 11Mbps of 802.11b devices.

It is no longer rare to find devices that support all three standards, but generally, Wireless-G is designed to be backwards compatible with Wireless-B devices. Thus Wireless-B and Wireless-A devices will not work with each other, and neither are they compatible with Wireless-G devices.

Some manufacturers offer models with dual-band (Wireless A and G/B) auto-switch mode for greater communication flexibility. Network planners can plan their network deployment by using a combination of Wireless-B,G or A.

Wireless 802.11 standard utilizes the license-free around the 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz ranges. The 802.11b and 802.11g protocols use the 2.4GHz band whereas 802.11a uses the 5GHz band. Wireless-B is by far the most popular standard, with the newer Wireless-G (802.11g) and Wireless-A (802.11a) closing in fast.

Wi-FI or Wireless Fidelity is a certification program established by the Wi-Fi Alliance to ensure interoperability of wireless devices. Originally, the term Wi-Fi was intended to be interchangeable with 802.11b, but more recently it has broadened to cover any 802.11 network.

WLAN or Wireless Local Area Network, is a computer network =96or part thereof- that incorporates wireless devices. In a WLAN network, a conventional LAN set-up can be extended to include wireless devices using an access point. Although wireless networks can be completely independent of conventional network, WLAN usually forms part of an existing wired network.

Wireless Transmission ranges vary greatly and lowering the bandwidth will increase the coverage area, a standard 802.11b or 802.11g device will typically have a range of about 30m indoor and up to 120m line-of-sight outdoors. The main reason for the variance between indoors and line-of-sight coverage is that walls and other objects do impede the wireless signal. Because wireless transmissions are actually low frequency radio waves, they will pass through walls and other solid matter relatively easy. As distance increases, the throughput decreases. This is because lower signal strength result in dropped packets and result in a general decrease in network efficiency.

Understanding the technology in wireless and wireless LAN/WAN networking allows the planner the flexibility of using wired and wireless networks. There are areas that wired networks can not go owing to distance, terrain or topography thus if the planner has knowledge on wireless LAN networking, the simpler, faster and easy it is to deploy an effective wireless network.

Understanding how wireless LAN works will also help you plan deployment of a rural wireless internet access service. Wireless LAN is a very cost-effective solution for much needed internet connectivity requirements in far, remote villages. WISP is a good and potential business in remote areas.

Either you use commercial "off-the-shelf" WLAN gadget, tweak and improve its performance by using higher-gain outdoor antenna or buy a true-outdoor long-range Wireless LAN. For assured network performance, service-quality and less network downtime, we recommend using the latter.

Comic book makers for and boys in Japan offer different fare to boys and girls...so that BOTH groups buy those comics like crazy, not just the traditional boy market.

In their June and;Japanese Schoolgirl Watch,andquot; notes, andquot;Anyone who thinks schoolgirls and boys enjoy the same fantasies needs to bone up on .andquot; The for gals are the of typical boy titles, they write.

andquot;In the series for guys, , for example, robots are death machines and sound effects of pitched battles (bwa-whoom!) are common. In the series for girls, like Absolute Boyfriend, bots (=robots) are cute guys...stories get interspersed with shopping tips on clothes and cosmetics...andquot;

Note that even the titles fit the gender preferences - so that each group will buy them. Dragon Ball Z, vs Boyfriend. Dragons versus friends. Pitched battles versus caring for the bots (guys) and the giving of tips to look better. And they sell so many comics to both groups that they're translated into English now.

The different marketing approach designed for schoolgirls versus the boys was the focus of the piece in Wired.

Don't such preferences grow stronger inside most children as they become adults?

The recruiting and sales training practices of nearly every company I know focuses on the male style and idolizes the accomplishments that only full time men or women can attain (read: big money). Rather than developing approaches to fit women, who are 80% of our sales force and customer base, and most of whom are 5-10 hours per week, I guess they figure the male way is enough.

How we doing so far? Well, does the 95% drop out rate tell us anything? Remember that 80% of the people IN the business are women, so we know who's dropping out, yes?

Madison Avenue is trying to catch up, too. Women, 51% of the US population today, are suddenly the majority. There are BOOKS about marketing to this new majority andquot;Marketing to Womenandquot;.

Shall we catch up, too, for the benefit of the 10.4 million women trying to create something of their own in network marketing? Kim Klaver is Harvard andamp; Stanford educated.
