twisted pair wire).On the other hand, wireless networks do not use wires; instead they communicate over radio waves. Each computer must have a Network Interface Card (NIC), which communicates the data between computers. A NIC is usually a 10Mbps network card, or 10/100Mbps network card, or a wireless network card.

– IP Security •IPSec IPSec provides a more secure network-to-network connection across the Internet or a Wide Area Network (WAN). IPSec encrypts all communication between the client and server whereas PPTP only encrypts the data packets. Both of these implementations are used because there is not a standard for server software.
not sent by hacker and is not limited by Virtual Server list. Besides, there are some IP protocols that does not have port number information. There is no way to use Virtual Server setting to forward incoming packet. Thus, host is the way to forward such kind of packets. If you try to enable host and setup Virtual Server, the precedence is Virtual Server and then DMZ.
