Network Information Center (NIC). This unique network number is included in
any packet sent out of the network onto the Internet.

LAN: local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices
that share a common communications line or wireless link and typically share the
resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for
example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data
storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users. A local area
network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a home
network) or as many as thousands of users (for example, in an FDDI network).

Log on: in general computer usage, logon is the procedure used to get access to
an operating system or application. Almost always, a logon requires that the user
have (1) a user ID and (2) a password. Often, the user ID must conform to a
limited length such as eight characters and the password must contain at least
one digit and not match a natural language word

MAC Address: in a LAN or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control)
address is your computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's
the same as your Ethernet address.) When you're connected to the Internet from
your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your
computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.

vSpace: NComputing Desktop Virtualization software

PC: Personal Computer

Router: in packet-switched networks such as the Internet, a router is a device or,
in some cases, software in a computer, that determines the next network point to
which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. The router is
connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each
information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the
networks it is connected to.

User: one who uses a computer system. Users may need to identify themselves
for the purposes of accounting, security, logging and resource management. In
order to identify oneself, a user has an account and a username.

USB: (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard designed to allow peripherals to be
connected to a computer using a standardized interface socket and to improve
plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected
without rebooting

UTMA: Ultra Thin Multi Access
the computer.
