TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
- TCP/IP is a set of standardized rules that allow computers to communicate on a network such as the internet
UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) – a communications protocol that facilitates the exchange of messages between computing devices in a network. It’s an alternative to the transmission control protocol (TCP).
FTP
File Transfer Protocol
Port- 21
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network.
Port 143
IMAP
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) means that all of your email is saved on your Internet Service Provider’s servers. It Syncs. If you are using IMAP, you can run an email program at home and an email program at work and both programs will access the same set up messages and folders.

Port 80
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.
Port 443
HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
Port 110
POP3
Post Office Protocol (POP) means that all of your email is downloaded from your Internet Service Provider to your own personal computer and (usually) deleted from the server. If you created folders in your email program, those folders are only accessible on your own personal computer
Port 53
DNS
translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources. Each device connected to the Internet has a unique IP address which other machines use to find the device.
Port 67/68
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used to automate the process of configuring devices on IP networks, thus allowing them to use network services such as DNS, NTP, and any communication protocol based on UDP or TCP
APIPA
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is generated by Windows and enables a computer to automatically assign an IP address if the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol sever is not present. If the DHCP server is unavailable, the computer assigns itself an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255.
Crossover Cable
A crossover cable is a type of cable installation that is used for the interconnection of two similar devices. It is enabled by reversing the transmission and receiving pins at both ends, so that output from one computer becomes input to the other, and vice versa
SO-DIMM
A SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is a memory module with a smaller outline and thickness than standard DIMM modules and designed primarily for notebook computers
CMOS
“Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor.” It is a technology used to produce integrated circuits.
You won’t be able to boot to anything if you can’t get past CMOS.
NIC
A network interface controller (also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter or physical network interface, and by similar terms) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network.
