applications, such as:

Setting up a local network

Mbps

.

such as a file server or printer.

access

transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps. You can connect a DSL or cable modem to

IP address

for up to 253 users. Several users on your

network can then surf the Internet at the same time using only one Internet

Service Provider account.

Protocols

for

setting up a Virtual Private Network:
