The future of
local area networks and the Internet seems to be inextricably entwined with
something called "convergence."
Today, we can read, see, and hear news and entertainment on the Internet.
The quality is not as good as your television set, but it is getting there.
Follow the links in this sidebar to learn more about convergence and why getting
connected is important.
Your internal or local area
network (LAN)
can be a confusing array of hardware and software. You have that laser
printer on the table in the corner, personal computers - some with printers
attached, and a server, which the local computer store told you everyone could
access for file sharing.
That's nice - but what happens if it doesn't
work? Or maybe it works, but not the way you want it to work.
You have
questions. "Why is it that I can't use my co-workers printer if I want?"
"What was it that the guy at the store said about network protocols and
workstation addressing? Maybe that's why we are having trouble
communicating between all this expensive equipment!" …And then there is
that database of clients, which everyone needs to share, but no one can seem to
find.
PRONETSERV
can make sense of it all and get your entire network talking the same language
to all the equipment.
