Computer Networks

There are many types of computer networks, including:

• Local-Area Networks (LAN's): The computers are geographically close to each other (in the same building).
• Wide-Area Networks (WAN's): The computers are farther apart and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.
• Metropolitan-Area Networks (MAN's): A MAN is usually not privately owned by the user or the company.
