Internet and Computer Networks

Prepared by: Islah K. Gharaibeh

2019/2020
LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

Part I : What is a Network?

A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share programs, resources (such as
printers), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked
through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.

Common types of networks include:

 Local Area Network (LAN)

 Wide Area Network (WAN)
 Wireless LAN (WLAN)
 Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN)
 Wireless WAN (WWAN)

1.1. Local Area Network

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that is confined to a relatively small area. It is generally limited to a
geographic area such as a writing lab, school, or building.

1.2. Wireless Local Area Network

The term 'wireless network' refers to two or more computers communicating using standard
network rules or protocols, but without the use of cabling to connect the computers together.
Instead, the computers use wireless radio signals to send information from one to the other. A
wireless local area network (WLAN) consists of two key components:
 A wireless access point (WAP) (also called a Base station)
 And a wireless card.

Wi-Fi is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet
wirelessly using radio waves.

Many devices can use Wi-Fi, e.g. personal computers, video-game consoles, smartphones, some digital
cameras, tablet computers and digital audio players.

1.3. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A (MAN) is a large computer network that spans a metropolitan area or campus. Its geographic scope falls
between a WAN and LAN. MANs provide Internet connectivity for LANs in a metropolitan region, and
connect them to wider area networks like the Internet.

1.4. Wide Area Network

Computer Skills Lab Page 2 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect networks in larger geographic areas, such as whole world. Dedicated
transoceanic cabling or satellite uplinks may be used to connect this type of global network.

WANs as computer networking technologies used to transmit data over long distances, and between different
LANs, MANs and other localized computer networking architectures. The Internet can be considered a WAN
as well, and is used by businesses, governments, organizations, and individuals for almost any purpose
imaginable.

1.5. Wireless Wide Area Network

Wireless WAN is a wide area network in which separate areas of coverage or cells are connected wirelessly to
provide service to a large geographic area.

A WWAN often differs from wireless local area network (WLAN) by using mobile telecommunication cellular
network technologies such as WiMAX (often called a wireless metropolitan area network or WMAN) and
cellular digital packet data (CDPD) to transfer data.

These technologies are offered regionally, nationwide, or even globally and are provided by a Wireless Service
Provider for example Zain, Orange and Umniah in Jordan.

Part II : Network Drawback (Computer Viruses)

Computer Viruses are the most network drawback. Viruses are becoming more and more
sophisticated and employ many different methods of spreading. While email has been the
primary method for the spread of these recent computer viruses, it is not the only method.

A computer virus can enter a network by CD, floppy disk, internet download, file
transfer and file sharing programs, or by remote users connecting directly to the corporate network with an
infected PC. Once computer viruses gets into a network it can spread to computer in multiple ways.

2.1. Common Types of Computer Viruses

 A macro virus is associated with application software like word and excel. When opening the infected
document, macro virus is loaded into main memory and destroys the data stored in hard disk
 A worm is also a destructive program that fills a computer system with self-replicating information,
clogging the system so that its operations are slowed down or stopped
 A time bomb is a virus program that performs an activity on a particular date
 Trojan horse is a destructive program. It usually pretends as computer games or application software. If
executed, computer system will be damaged.

2.2. Antivirus software

The Antivirus software protects the computer from computer viruses. The following figure represents the
common types.

Computer Skills Lab Page 3 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

2.3. Preventing from virus infection

 Always update your anti-virus software at least weekly.
 Get trained on your computer's anti-virus software and use it.
 Have multiple backups of important files. This lowers the chance that all are infected.
 Forget opening unexpected e-mail attachments, even if they're from friends.
 Scan internet downloads.
 Use firewall to protect your computer and network.

Part III : Internet Overview

3.1. What is the Internet?

The Internet (also known as the Net) is a world-wide electronic network that enables many independent
computer networks to connect together by using a common connection, called an Internet Protocol (IP) which
will dynamically and intelligently figure out a way to get data from one point to another across multiple ISPs.

3.2. How do I access the Internet?

A computer is “hooked up” to the Internet when the owner subscribes to an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
and has a browser installed on to the computer. An ISP is a company that will allow you to use their computer
connections to access the Internet for a fee.
To be able to access all the internet has to offer:
1. You will need an internet account with an internet service provider (ISP). ISPs like Orange provide these
accounts usually for a monthly fee, much like a phone service. You might also need to have somebody come and
install a line into your home.
2. You will also need what’s called a modem (or modem router). Your ISP will be able to sell you a modem when
you set up an account with them.
3. Once you have an account and a modem set up (the ISP will guide you through setting up the modem), you just
have to plug your computer into the modem to access the internet.

Computer Skills Lab Page 4 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

There are a number of different ways to access the internet. There are five major types of internet access:

1. Old fashioned dial-up. You can’t make or receive phone calls while connected via dial-up to the
internet.
2. ADSL, which uses a special modem to transform your existing phone line into a high-speed phone line.
Because it is a broadband connection, you can chat on the phone at the same time you use the internet.
ADSL is the most common type of broadband connection and the easiest to set up at home. Most ADSL
services require that you have a phone service, but there are also so-called ‘naked’ DSL services that
require no phone service.
3. 3G/4G which uses mobile phone networks to connect you to the internet.
4. Satellite, which transmits data from satellites.

Not all services are available in all areas. Your ISP will tell you which ones are available to you. While different
internet connection services have strengths and weaknesses, they all connect you to the same internet.

3.3. Different Speeds and Quotas

When signing up for an internet account, you may be dazzled by the number of different and confusing options
available.
There are different speeds and different monthly quotas available on different accounts.

 Speeds are measured in kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps), with 1mbps equal to
1000kbps. A dial-up connection works at 56Kbps, while ADSL can go as fast as 24Mbps – more than
400 times faster than dial-up.
 The monthly download quota determines the volume of data and media you can download before your
ISP either cuts you off, slows down your connection or charges you extra (depending on the specifics of
your internet account agreement).
 Volumes are measured in gigabytes (GB) and sometimes megabytes (MB), where one GB is equal to
1000MB. You’re not likely to go over your limit just looking at web pages and sending emails, but if
you watch a lot of online videos you might reach your monthly limit.

Part IV : The Internet and Everyday Life

New uses for the internet are being invented every day. There are literally hundreds of millions of web pages
and services available. It’s very easy to sink hours, days, weeks and months exploring all the internet has to
offer.

The following uses are the most common:

1. Sending emails, which are letters that can be sent for free to anyone and arrive instantly.
2. Looking up news, weather, health information and sports results, government information and forms.
3. Searching for information on just about any topic, such as Flight timetables, phone numbers and just
about anything else you can think of!
4. Doing all your banking, taxes and business online.
5. Sharing your photo and video collection, and seeing the shared collections of others.

Computer Skills Lab Page 5 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

6. Talking or video chatting with online friends – at any time, for free.
7. Participating in discussions on topics you find interesting, with people from around the world.
8. Downloading and watching movies, reading book reviews or watching sports.
9. E-commerce, buying and selling goods from online stores.

Part V : The Browser

An Internet browser is a computer application that will give you access to the Internet and navigate the World
Wide Web.

The World Wide Web (WWW), also known as the Web, is made up of millions of documents called web
pages. Web pages can include text, pictures, video and sound. Most organizations on the Web have sets of
pages, which are linked together. These sets of pages are called websites. You can use the Web to get up-to-
date information about almost any subject.

5.1. Internet browsers Examples

Each of these Internet browsers will interpret the computer code in web sites, in order to display text and
graphics (on these sites), provide encryption security, play video and music, and display links to other web
pages.

5.2. Website Address

A domain name is the root web address for a Website. Domain names function on the Internet in a manner
similar to a physical address in the physical world. Each part of the domain name provides specific information.
These pieces of information enable web browsers to locate the web page. The naming system is closely
regulated in order to prevent confusion or duplicate addresses.

An Internet address is in alphabetic form. Domain names must have at least two parts:

 the part on the left which names the organization (website name),
 And the part on the right which identifies the highest subdomain (extension), such as the country or the
type of organization.

Computer Skills Lab Page 6 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

"bau.edu.jo" bau is the organization and edu.jo identifies it as an educational institution in the Jordan. There
are only a limited number of such highest subdomains. For example:

subdomain name usual meaning

.ac university etc in UK
.co business in UK
.com commercial business
.edu Educational institutions
.gov Government site anywhere
.org Organizations (nonprofit)

Part VI : Internet Explorer Browser

First, you need to open the web browser. That means clicking the Internet Explorer icon. When the program
starts, it will automatically go to a home page. It is a web page that is configured to be displayed first when a
Web browser is opened.

When the browser opens, you’ll see buttons, icons and headings representing various features, tools, search and
navigation controls. From left to right:

1. Back: Go back to a previously viewed web page.

2. Forward: Go forward to a previously viewed web page.

Computer Skills Lab Page 7 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

Address bar: Enter a website address or a search term here to find what you’re looking for. It
is also called as Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

1. Search engine selector: Click the adjacent down-arrow to choose preferred search
engine (google, bing, yahoo)
2. The AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer lets you more quickly fill out web forms
and go to websites you have visited in the past.
3. Security report: clicking this icon displays a report describing the certificate used to
encrypt the connection and the certifying authority that issued the certificate. The security
report also provides links to more detailed information.
4. Refresh: Reloads web page, so you know you’re looking at the most current version.

Tab: Shows the title of the website in the open window.

Click on that icon a new tab will appear. You can go to any address you like in this new tab.

1. Home: Reverts to web browser’s home page, the one you see when you first start Internet
Explorer.
2. Favorites: Displays websites saved as favorites. When you click on Add to Favorites. The
current web page will now be added to your Favorites list. Whenever you click on Favorites
again, you will see it.
3. Tools: Access zoom, print, internet options and other functions.

Menu bar: can be turned on or off in Windows Internet Explorer. That is representing various
features and functions.

Favorites bar: that enables one-click access to your favorite web sites.

Command bar: offers easy access to almost any setting or feature in Internet Explorer. You
can customize the Command bar buttons to suit your preferences.

Status bar: it displays messages such as a webpage's download progress.

Part VII : Changing Your Home Page

Home page is the page that the browser opens to whenever you start it up. To change your Home page.

Computer Skills Lab Page 8 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

1. First you go to the web page that you’d like to set as your home.
2. Now right-click on the Home button. A drop-down menu will
appear.

3. Move your mouse to Add or Change Home Page and left-

click.
a. Select Use this Web Page as Your Only Home Page.
b. You can have several pages as your home page; with each
page open in its own tab. Select Add this Webpage to
your Home Page Tabs.

Part VIII : Search Engine

A search engine is a website that you can use to look up web pages.
There are many different types of search engines made by different companies, the most popular ones are:
 www.bing.com Bing is Microsoft’s alternative to Google.
 www.google.comThe home page of Google, the world’s largest search provider.
 www.yahoo.com
But the most popular is Google. To search the internet with Google, type www.google.com into the Address bar
of your web browser.

The Google main page will appear. In the middle of the page is the Google Search bar.

Computer Skills Lab Page 9 By: Islah K. Gharaibeh

LAB.9 : Internet and Computer Networks

How to read search results

Google's goal is to provide you with results that are clear and easy to read. The diagram below points out four
features that are important to understanding the search results page.

1. The title: The first line of any search result is the title of the webpage.
2. The snippet: A description of or an excerpt from the webpage.
3. The URL: The webpage's address.
4. Cached link: A link to an earlier version of this page. Click here if the page you wanted isn't available.

Part IX : Saving or Copying images

1. Select the image  right click and then choose either:

Copy then paste it in the desired place.
or
Save Picture as then save it in the desired location so you can find it later.

Part X : Saving a web page
