Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    LAN stands for Local Area Network. A LAN provides network access to a group of computers in an office building, home or school located at a close proximity to each other. A LAN is useful for sharing resources like files, data, printers, games and other applications. The resources are usually available in the server or a workstation.

    The smallest LAN can comprise of 2 computers at home and a larger LAN may include thousands of computers. The most common type of LAN is the Ethernet LAN.

    LAN can transfer data at a very fast rate, but only for a limited distance and there is a limit to the number of computers that can be attached to a single LAN.

    Users can use LAN to communicate with each other via e-mails and chat. So, in absence of internet users can still communicate PC to PC within the network.
