lossary T What does TCP/IP mean? TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol, Internet Protocol, which is a set of networking protocols that allows two or more computers to communicate. The Department of Defense for the Defense Data Network developed TCP/IP and it has now been widely adopted as a networking standard. For more information, you may consult the several TCP/IP-related FAQs at the following URL: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet/tcp-ip/ These documents are also frequently posted to the Usenet newsgroup comp.protocols.tcp-ip.

Networking Foundations If you haven't used NETg before, see the Knowledge Base document What do I need to know about accessing NETg from the Knowledge Base? Also see: What is a token ring network? The term "token ring" is used to describe a computer network configuration where each computer is linked to the computer next to it to form a closed ring. In this network, computers cannot transmit data until permission is received from the network in the form of an electronic token. Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks (which use token passing) are quite common, because they can run for distances of 100 kilometers at speeds of 100Mbps. "Token ring" can also refer to a network architecture developed by IBM and later standardized as the IEEE 802.5 standard.

What is telnet? Telnet is a protocol that allows you to connect to remote computers (called hosts) over a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet). There is a telnet server on the remote host, which the telnet client negotiates with to establish a connection. Once connected, the client becomes a virtual terminal, and allows you to interface with the host computer from your computer. In most cases, you'll be asked to log into the remote system. This usually requires an account on that host. Occasionally you can log in as guest or public without having an account. There are telnet clients available for all major operating systems. Command-line telnet clients are built into most versions of Mac OS X, Windows (95 and later), Unix, and Linux. To use them, go to their respective command lines (i.e., the shell or DOS prompt), and then enter: telnet host Replace host with the name of the remote computer you wish to connect to. Also see:
