Since there are a lot of new terms for some of us XP folks, where do I
find the definitions of the terms. The links doesn't really help in
this matter.

thanks

If you google these things, you would be surprised how much you find.

Yeah, just look up anything having to do with firewalls, or even TCP/IP.
They're all standard TCP/IP networking terms (not Microsoft terms).

 

[Puppy Breath]

Ooops, I spoke too soon. Some of those things are Vista features, like

BITS Service
Collaboration Infrastructure (People Near Me)
Network Projector
Network Explorer
PC-to-PC Sync
Remote Access Service
Remote Assistance
Remote Desktop
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
Windows Print Spooler Service

But the rest are more standard. Here are some Wikipedia.org links:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICMP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upnp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGMP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iscsi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_(networking)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Those can be easily googled too to find their definitions.

Yeah, it's just that if you google 'em you might end up with about a
quadrillion links. Webopedia.com is good for short definitions.
search.microsoft.com for Microsoft-specific stuff (though google will get
you to those too). Wikipedia.org for general encyclopedic stuff.

I've got a few:

....in the process of updating it though ) If you want to email me (haven't
got my Microsoft one through yet... stupid admin guys) with a list of the
terms you want to me to add, I'd appreciate it )
