A local area network (LAN) is a collection of computers in a specific area that are connected by a communications network. LANs can range in size from just two computers to hundreds, or thousands of computers in a single location. Networks can also consist of LANs in multiple locations connected into a wide area network (WAN). It is also common for computer networks to include non-Microsoft based computers, such as Novell NetWare, Apple Macintosh, or Unix-based computers. Connectivity with the Internet is also increasingly important. For a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 to participate in various LAN and WAN configurations, you must be able to properly configure its network components.
