Two or more computers physically joined together so they can share files and information
Connected systems, the properties of which do not entirely depend on the actual units involved but on the dynamics of the interconnections
anything reticulated or decussated, at equal distances, with interstices between the intersections (Samuel Johnson's Dictionary)
A computer network is a group of computers that are linked so that information can travel between the computers The computers could be in the same room and linked via copper cables, or located in different countries, linked by satellites, phone lines or fibre optic cables Common networking systems include Novell, Banyan, TCP/IP and LocalTalk The Internet is one of the world's largest networks, rivalled only by such networks as the Visa credit network

Organizations that are linked through contractual or ownership relationships Many health plans consider themselves "network developers" because they contract with physicians and hospitals on behalf of their customers, employers, and carriers
Networks are generally defined in terms of protocol, access, and distance The following descriptions of major network types should illustrate this: Internet: TCP/IP protocol, unlimited access (although specified computers, drives, or files may be blocked), unlimited distance intranet: Similar to Internet, except limited access WAN: Similar to intranet except it is not restricted to TCP/IP protocol LAN: Similar to WAN except distance is limited (normally not more than 1-2 miles) and protocol is different
The companies that provide the mobile phone service are called networks In the UK these are BT Cellnet, Vodafone, Orange, One2One and Virgin Mobile
