Internet Connections Physical – NIC card to connect to local net Logical – Use a standard set of protocols (TCP/IP) Applications – Web browsers, Html, FTP
NIC Card Resources • Serial Connection to the network (not a serial port) • IRQ (interrupt request) • I/O address (Port addresses) • Upper memory address range (640k-1M)
NIC – Modem Installation • Modem – modulator / demodulator • Used to provide connectivity to analog telephone lines • Low speed interface using serial or USB ports • NIC – Network Interface Card • Interface for a host to the network • Available in different types depending on computer system and network • PCMCIA (PC Card), ISA, PCI • Desktop, notebook, server • Ethernet, token ring, FDDI
NIC Card designed for use in desktop system using PCI and connection to Ethernet 10/100 network
