Week 3: Muddy "Networks"

Or so I thought I knew all about networks and servers... There are so many acronyms that its is mind blowing and how can someone really remember all of them, LAN, WAN, MAC(maybe not an acronym), TCP, UDP, and I think there are a bunch more right... I remeber the good ones like BIBLE "Basic instruction before leaving earth" or BUDWEISER "Because U deserve what every individual should enjoy regularly."

Above is my picture of a network, see there is a server and a star and all the computers. Now everyone is connected and we can all share information and it is just that easy... right? No I guess it isn't as easy as it looks. I learned so much this week on networking and that was barely the beginning I am sure. The network administrators at my office make the big bucks along with the programmers and I see why. If something goes wrong they need to know how to fix it and make sure everything is secure.

Who knew that there was more to networking than just the blue network cable with the RJ45 jacks on the end of them? I didn't.
