Abstract
A network is a collection of two or more systems connected together by a common wire. The systems connected to this wire can transfer data, share files, and run programs among each other. Programs executed on remote systems act as if they were running locally. There are many layers and protocols involved in networking. It is not the intent of this book to investigate what is occurring on the wire, but to show some of the basic commands necessary to maintain a network from the administrator’s view.
