In this chapter, you will learn how to
• Describe the basic functions of a network, including identifying common devices and connectors
• Discuss the differences between a LAN and a WAN and the importance of TCP/IP
• Perform basic resource sharing
It’s hard to find a computer that’s not connected to a network. Whether your system is part of a large
enterprise network or a single PC with an Internet connection, every computer has some form of network
connection. CompTIA has wisely added quite a bit of networking coverage to the CompTIA A+ exams,
and a number of chapters toward the back of this book cover networking in great detail. By covering the
basic or “user level” networking topics early in the book, however, you’ll see how networking impacts
every facet of modern computing.
