The network name for which the network-connected PC belongs to.
Name of PC (or VR-716) on the network.
The name of the PC connected to the network is managed by a database called DNS (Domain
Name System). DNS links the IP address assigned to each PC with the domain names, and
enables a user to specify a PC to access.
An identification number assigned to each PC connected to the network. This is used for com-
munication between network devices.
There are 2 types of IP address, namely Global IP Address and Local IP Address (Private IP
Address).
Global IP Address : Just as separate IP addresses are required on a network, this is also
required for all PCs that are connected to the Internet throughout the
world. Such an IP address is known as the Global IP Address and is
usually assigned by the Internet service provider.
Local IP Address : Separate IP addresses can be used freely within networks that are not
connected to the Internet (eg. within a family or company). This is known
as the Local IP Address.
IP Address
192.168.0.10
IP addresses assigned by the PC is converted by the DNS
server into host names and domain names.
This is a method that automatically assigns IP addresses on the network.
The DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to a PC when it is connected to the
network.
A mechanism that manages a network by segmenting it into multiple virtual networks (subnets).
Subnet mask is a 32-bit value that is used to define how many bits to be used within the IP
address for identifying the subnet.
A network that is built within a comparatively confined area such as within a building, company
or office.
Hardware and software that are used mutually for the translation of different protocols during
communication of a PC with one that does not belong to the same network. In Windows, setting
of a default gateway is required when setting the IP address.
A set of rules used for communication of PCs or devices via the network.
Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is 1 of the protocols used
by the network.
Refers to the commencement of use upon connection of a PC terminal to an online database or
server.
A small-scale network that connects PCs on a peer level (1-to-1).
A group that is set up among a small number of PCs in a work unit to ease reference of data on
other PCs. It will be difficult to manage if there are a few hundred Windows-based PCs that are
sharing the same network. In this case, management by setting up workgroups will be neces-
sary.
A service that displays PCs within a workgroup or domain, or the list of resources.
