TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) - a suite of protocols tailored to specific needs for advanced networking. Named after TCP and IP, the first of the many protocols in the suite. TCP/IP forms the basic standard for communication over the Internet. TCP Port - special number in the header of a network data packet, TCP ports are used to map data to computer processes or applications. For example, a server receiving incoming TCP data packets with a number of 21 in the header will normally map that data to the FTP process running on the server (21 is the standard port for initiating an FTP session with a client). UNC (Universal Naming Convention) - a standard for identifying servers, printers and other resources in a network, a UNC path uses double slashes or backslashes to precede the name of the computer and a single slash to precede the name of the resource being accessed. In Windows operating systems, the UNC name format is: \\servername\sharename\path\filename Workgroup - a Microsoft network mechanism for grouping multiple computers and computer resources without the use of an actual network domain.

TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)
— a suite of
protocols tailored to specific needs for advanced networking. Named
after TCP and IP, the first of the many protocols in the suite. TCP/IP
forms the basic standard for communication over the Internet.
TCP Port
— special number in the header of a network data packet,
TCP ports are used to map data to computer processes or applications.
For example, a server receiving incoming TCP data packets with a
number of 21 in the header will normally map that data to the FTP
process running on the server (21 is the standard port for initiating an
FTP session with a client).
UNC
(
Universal Naming Convention
)
— a standard for identifying
servers, printers and other resources in a network, a UNC path uses
double slashes or backslashes to precede the name of the computer
and a single slash to precede the name of the resource being
accessed. In Windows operating systems, the UNC name format is:
\\servername\sharename\path\filename
Workgroup
— a Microsoft network mechanism for grouping multiple
computers and computer resources without the use of an actual
network domain.
