    A local area network is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or group of buildings e.g. a school. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to Wide Area Networks (WANs), include their much higher data transfer rates, smaller geographic range, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

    Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair cabling, and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies currently, but ARCNET, Token Ring and many others have been used in the past.

    Ender is back.. And slightly confused.

    I'm going to assume (dangerous, those assumptions) that you mean LAN.

    LAN stands for Local Area Network. A LAN is any computers that are hooked up to one another via a router or a similar device and have IP addresses allowing them to communicate with one another.

    A local area network (LANLANLAN) consists of two or more computers connected together in a building or home using software and hardware. A LANLANLAN is contrasted to a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, which covers a large geographic area. In a LANLANLAN, there is a main computer or server, and remote computers called clients. By creating a LANLANLAN in the home or office, computers on the LANLANLAN can share files, resources, and if desired, an Internet connection.
