Network Interface Card (NIC) Small circuit board that
converts the digital signals from a computer into signals that can travel over a network
Desktop Computers have the NIC inside the case with a jack on the outside for the network cable Example
Our classroom computers
Notebook or Laptop Computers have a special card that fits into a slot or opening in the case Example
Picture on this slide is the NIC for a Notebook or Laptop

Network Connections Devices Modem
A device that sends and receives data to and from computers over telephone lines.
Hubs A device that connects several components of a
network Routers

IP Addresses
A unique identifying number assigned to each computer connected to the internet Example – 204.127.102.001 Each computer on a network should have
its own separate IP Address or conflicts will occur when there are duplicate addresses
