Peer-to-Peer Networking
 – Allows users to share local resources 
between PCs without needing an access point or router. 
 
Ping 
(Packet Internet Groper) – An Internet utility used to determine whether 
a particular IP address is online.  It is used to test and debug a network by 
sending out a packet and waiting for a response. 
 
Plug-and-Play
 – The ability of a computer system to configure expansion 
boards and other devices automatically without requiring the user to turn off 
the system during installation. 
 
Port 
– A pathway into and out of the computer of a network device such as   
a switch or router.  For example, the serial and parallel ports on a personal 
computer are external sockets for plugging in communications lines, modems, 
and printers. 
 
PPPoE 
(Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)  – A method used mostly by 
DSL providers for connecting personal computers to a broadband modem for 
Internet access.  It is similar to how a dial-up connection works but at higher 
speeds and quicker access.

PPTP 
(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) – A protocol (set of communication 
rules) that allows corporations to extend their own corporate network through 
private “tunnels” over the public Internet.  Effectively, a corporation uses a 
wide-area network as a single large local area network.  A company no longer 
needs to lease its own lines for wide-area communication but can securely 
use the public networks.  This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual 
private network (VPN).
   
 
Print Server  – 
A hardware device that enables a printer to be located 
anywhere in the network.
 
 
RIP 
(Routing Information Protocol) – A simple routing protocol that is part of 
the TCP/IP protocol suite.  It determines a route based on the smallest hop 
count between source and destination.  RIP is a distance vector protocol that 
routinely broadcasts routing information to its neighboring routers and is
 
known to waste bandwidth.  AppleTalk, DECnet, TCP/IP, NetWare, and 
VINES all use incompatible versions of RIP.
 
 
RJ-11 
(Registered Jack-11)  – A telephone connector that holds up to six 
wires.  The RJ-11 is the common connector used to plug a telephone into   
a wall.
 
 
RJ-45 – 
A connector similar to a telephone connector that holds up to eight 
wires, used for connecting Ethernet devices.
