Agent Smith Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hi Craig. Do you actually need an intranet, or would a straight forward LAN be suitable? What do you actually wish to do with it, once running?This site seems to have a fair bit of info regarding intranets to give you some more ideas.

Guest LB Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 sorry to be completely ignorant but whats the difference??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 An intranet is effectively a private internet. Ie you would connect to a webserver, via your browser, to access data and resources. A LAN is a straight forward local network, where you can either connect to file servers or share resources on local machines.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 we have an intranet at work.............. Like Mr M said, an internet within the internet. It is seperate from the internet... I had access to it long before I had internet access at work. And you can't get into it from the outside. Well, our one you can't. I think some college intranets are accessable from the outside with the correct passwords etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
