local area network (LAN) allows a group of stand-alone computers to be linked
via cabling or wireless to share software programs and data allowing users to
work from their computers simultaneously. Users connected to a LAN will also be
able to share the following: ·
Data ·
Client/Server Applications ·

companies use local area networks for all or some of the following reasons: ·
Sharing Hardware ·

Sharing Data Modern networks are constantly evolving. The
term "local", in Local Area Network, has become dated.
Networks are far reaching through the use of the Internet creating a Virtual
Private Network (VPN), thus they are no longer
"local". OutLANdish Networks can setup your computer
