- 2. A computer that provides email services to a network.
- 4. A class designation (A through E) that specifies a default subnet mask value which defines the default network address portion of the IP address.
- 5. A group of networked computers that are physically close together, usually in the same building.
- 8. A computer that provides a gaming environment that tracks events in multiplayer video games.
- 11. A network of interconnected LANs across a large geographical location.
- 13. A computer component that provides a port (usually RJ-45) where a network cable can be connected.
- 16. A small network device with modem, firewall, routing, and switching features that is used in homes and small businesses.
- 18. Short for modulator/demodulator, a network device that converts digital signals used by modern networks to analog signals that are typically carried by telephone or cable television lines.
- 19. A network device that moves traffic between two different IP networks.
- 23. A network device that connects wireless devices to a wired network.
- 24. A cable that provides connectivity between networkdevices. A common network cable connects a computer's network interface with a wall jack.
