How to Connect My Computer to a Network

By neoNo Comments

After you install the operating system, you must configure your computer to participate in a network environment. What is a network you might ask? A network is a group of computers and other devices, like mobile phones and network printers that are connected to each other. This way all these devices are able to share information’s and resources. Shared resources can include folders, printers and Internet access connections.

In order to connect to a network, a device must have a network interface card (NIC). The network card is a hardware component that allows a device to connect to the network. Some network cards are integrated into the computers motherboard and some others come as an extra module.

Besides the physical connection that allows you to connect to the network, you will also have to configure the operating system in order to participate in the network. Every computer or network device requires an IP address, a subnet mask and a default gateway. This address identifies the computer on the network. Let’s say that this is the name of your computer inside the network. The subnet mask is used to identify the network on which the computer is connected and the default gateway identifies the device that the computer uses to access the Internet or another network. We can configure the IP address manually or automatically.

Manual IP Configuration

If you choose the manual configuration you will have to go to every single device and type the required values via the keyboard. Remember that you need to login as an administrator for this job. The IP address that we enter manually is called “static IP address” and is permanently assigned to the device.

Dynamic IP Configuration

Computers and other network capable devices can also be configured to receive an IP address dynamically. This allows a device to request an address from a DHCP server that has a pool of IP addresses. When you close the device the IP address becomes available again and another computer can use it. The automatic configuration is very beneficial because you can save a lot of time and avoid assigning the same IP address to more than one computer on the network.

Along with the IP address, you must also configure the computer name. This is the human friendly name that other users will use every time they want to access your computer on the network. Every individual system must have a unique name assigned to it. Finally, you can type a computer description to provide additional information on the location or function of the device.

ARM, The Real Leader in the Chip Market

By neoNo Comments

If you think Intel dominates the microprocessor market, think again. Intel chips are not the brain of the biggest chunk of smartphones and tablets today.

Instead, chips designed by ARM, a British microprocessor company rarely heard of are running the show in as much as 95% of the mobiles and tablets around the world including the recently released iPad released this week. Overall, chips of ARM take the 30% market share around the world, which makes it nearly double the more popular Intel’s 16%. The numbers were released by HIS iSuppli.

But ARM is not contented. It wants to double its world market share to 60%, according to ARM’s CEO Warren East in an interview last week at Mobile World Congress.

ARMs rise was due to its unique position in the chip industry. The company does not manufacture the microprocessors itself. ARM designs and licenses different architectures to more than 300 companies throughout the world including Giant mobile makers and chip makers like Samsung, Texas Instruments (TI), Nvidia (NVDA), and Qualcomm.

However, the company’s current fortune can mainly be attributed to luck because it started at the right place at the right time.

ARM started out in 1991 by designing chips for modems of phones. The chips themselves were designed initially for one narrow niche of providing a capability for phones to communicate to cellphone towers without consuming much of the phone’s battery. As the century was about to end, cellphone manufacturers noticed that ARM chips had excess power left that could be used to build a user interface.

Thus, “feature phones” were born, the precursors of the modern smartphones. Soon ARM took advantage of the discovery and started designing chips for two purposes: to provide the same old capability for the modem processor and a processor for applications that could control the interface for iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry OS, Android, and other similar technologies.

ARM chips also found their way into other gadgets as demands increased. Today ARM chips are integrated into priinters, disk drives, cars, microprocessors, Internet-linked TVs, and tablets. Hewlett-Packard has started making its first server running on chips based on ARM technology; while Microsoft will release a version of Windows 8 designed to run on ARM chips.

This makes the share of ARM in the world’s chip consumption swell to almost double in a matter of three years. The popularity of tablets and smartphones will continue to bring the success of ARM’s chips to new heights, which will make the current world market share of ARM double again in about three years.

Intel, the semiconductor giant has tried and failed to gain a foothold in the mobile marketplace as ARM’s 21-year expertise proved decisive.

To counter the threat from ARM, Intel has started connecting with to some handset makers by convincing them that its chips can run nicely on mobiles. Indian carrier Lava and global telecom giant Orange announced a week ago that mobile phones playing Intel chips were in the drawing boards. Lenovo has launched its own version of mobile phones with Intel chips inside. Other telecom giants including the Chinese giant ZTE, Motorola Mobility (MMI) are also planning on shipping oiut phones with Intel chips.

ARM is not fazed however by Intel’s deep pockets and resurgence. ARM CEO is confident that its technoly will become the choice of smartphone and tablet makers around the world in the next few years.

Modern Networks for Rookies

By neoNo Comments

Nowadays, many different types of nets are available that provide several different services. We have the telephone network, the radio network, the television network and of course the internet. All the previous activities depend on networking technologies. People use these networks to connect and exchange useful or entertaining information. Most people use several different networks every day without ever thinking how they work. Today networks are a big part of our lives and most of us do not even think what it would be like if the nets did not exist.

Twenty years ago network technology required separate and dedicated lines for voice, video and computer data communications. All the nets used a different kind of device in order to access the net. For example, phones, televisions, computers used different technologies and separate dedicated networks in order to exchange information. But what if users want to use all of these network services simultaneously?

Modern technologies create a revolutionary net that carries more than one type of service. The new converged networks are capable of transferring voice, video and data services over the same physical medium or network structure.

The new network appliances utilize much better the capabilities of converged information networks. Everybody that has a broadband connection can watch live video broadcasts on a simple computer or make a telephone call over the Internet.

Networks come in all sizes. The smallest net involves only two network capable devices. For instance we can connect two personal computers. A big network can have thousands or even millions of devices. The networks that we install in small offices or homes are called SOHO networks. SOHO networks enable sharing of resources, like printers, music, movies and other files between a few local devices.

Many companies use large networks in order to promote and sell products, order goods, and communicate with clients. Modern networks provide more efficient and cheap communication than traditional forms of communication. Regular mail and long distance phone calls are much more expensive, less reliable and much slower.

At the present time, internet is considered “the network of all networks” because it connects thousands of other smaller networks. As you probably already know, millions of users connect to this network every day and exchange information’s.

What everyday tasks do users perform on the Internet? Well they can do many things, for example they can search for Jobs, go for shopping, get directions, paying bills, check the weather, read the news, correspond and send emails and so forth

Why Electronics and Technology Are Important

By neoNo Comments

People today live in a world that relies greatly on electronics and gadgets to make our everyday activities easier and faster. Most of us could not fathom what life we be like without computers, cell phones, iPods, televisions, or electronic toys. Over the years, technology has continued to advance, improving the quality of life for people who use electronics and gadgets to make their lives more convenient.

When we wake up in the morning, we are often greeted by our alarm clocks. How many people would be late for work if they had to rely on their internal body clocks to wake them up at the same exact time every weekday morning? Once up and out of our bed some people may enjoy a cup of coffee or espresso from the convenience of their own kitchen coffee making appliance. Others may head to the bathroom to start getting ready for the day. This may include using a hair dryer or curlers to style their hair, or maybe an iron to de-wrinkle their clothes. All the while, people may be catching up on the day’s news by watching their local news station on television. All this use of technology and electronics and they haven’t even left for work yet!

The list goes on and on. The advancement of technology has allowed us to enjoy our favorite music while we exercise via the use of an MP3 player, warm our food in seconds with the convenience of microwaves, and even read our emails from anywhere in the world with the use of smart phones and laptops. This is just the tip of the iceberg. While most people understand that electronics and gadgets are important, they don’t take the time to really comprehend just how much we use this type of technology in all aspects of life. Certain electronics and equipment have made medical procedures easier, not to mention just plain possible. Life expectancies have increased with the advancement in technology and suffering has lessened due to the invention of medical equipment and technologies.

Whether it’s the coolest new GPS gadget to help you located and get to your favorite vacation destination along with every restaurant, store, and gas station in the area, or the newest sonar machine that can allow a doctor to see any possible development issues with a mother’s unborn baby, technology and electronics means more to us than we can realize. New products are developed every single day and the more people shop for fun gadgets and electronics, the easier and more fun life will become!

Use this straight forward article to help you understand the basics and make a more informed choice for your current situation and needs.

Security Cameras Explained

CCTV Security Cameras

These types of cameras are made to be used in conjunction with Closed Circuit Security Systems. Packages are available with cameras and DVR’s (digital video recorders) bundled together for your convenience. These types of systems are often used for larger homes and businesses since they usually come with the choice of several cameras which can monitor and record simultaneously. The DVR’s provide live monitoring options as well as store the recorded footage for a later viewing time.

The cameras generally associated with CCTV systems are weatherproof and are often motion activated, with infrared imaging available to assure images captured day or night are available. Many systems also allow a web interface – allowing the user to view live or recorded video from anywhere an internet connection is available.

Spy and Covert Security Cameras
As the name suggests, these cameras are often small, sometimes ‘disguised’ cameras that can be placed in areas that are unlikely to attract attention. These types of cameras can come equipped with a variety of features. Cameras with infrared allow for crisp, clear images during night time recordings. Motion activated recording allows you to save space on your device, so that recording are only made during times when activity is happening. Cameras with a live view option allow you to view the monitored area anytime you desire.

Self Contained Security Cameras

These types of cameras record the footage onto a memory card which you can retrieve to view at your leisure. These cameras are often small and can be conveniently placed and relocated as needed. Often these cameras are equipped with motion activated recording so space on the memory card isn’t wasted as a result of long hours of recording non-activity. The added convenience of being able to retrieve your data anytime to view the previously recorded footage is a key feature for these types of cameras.
