Hi I am Prateek Dixit owner of a technical blog Thetechnoclub. From this article you are going to gain knowledge of building a network on your own any where. Networks are broadly classified on the basis of variety of different criteria. Let it be a either two way connection or multi-networked connections, networks and types of networks play an obligatory and featured role in networking. Basically networks are classified in four basic and common different roles models.
1) LAN -: LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
2) WAN -: WIRELESS AREA NETWORKS
3) MAN -: METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
4) CAN -: CAMPUS AREA NETWORK
In today’s world the entire communication media is based on networking.
Not necessary that these media are based only on the networks specified above, but there are lot more different modes of communication.
Some of these examples consists of GPS (Global Positioning system), MMS (Multimedia message sending), Satellite system for live communication etc. LAN and WAN are major categories of the networks. The other emerged as the needs and demands emerged.All these networks has the same work as that of connection between two or more nodes (computers). The difference is that their ways and connection types are not identical. Computer networks different in their basic designs. In higher level networking there are two types,
1) Client-Server networking &
2) Peer to peer networking,
The Client-Server networking tends to have an access of entire network connected either by LAN of by WAN. It has the privilege of storing the entire data, web pages, stuff, files and other application. On the contrary peer to peer networks tends to be functioned in an identical way. These types of networks are classified in different types of protocols, amongst which TCP/IP i.e (transmission control protocol/ internet protocol) plays an important role.
The Protocols consists of certain sets of rules and regulations on the basis of which the communication between two nodes take place. There are certain classes of IP addresses with the help of which the communication is possible. My next article will help you to learn how to built a network via LAN

what crap does that mean..?
WAN stands for Wide Area Network
I dunno man, this article is not written that well, sorry…
WAN stands for Wide Area Network (thih is not wireless network), for Wireless networks is using WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) or WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network).
