I'am starting to get a better idea what wireless means,
and i think the home networking ability confused me
in that while its a local connection, meaning i think
that all back & forth happens reads and file transfers
happen inside the home versus the WWW web stuff
like i'am doing now happen using that Internet Provider(IP)
that carries everything from my home pc to the outside
world into another's home or office. This home network
stuff can be either connected using wires or wireless i think,
but the wireless between my home pc and the IP is where
i'am fuzzy on the physical connection. Is that satelite used
in the sky also called wireless like i think those antennas
placed on roof tops also the wireless, or is there other options
that use the air space?

I'am guessing that a home network between a pc in the kitchen
and one in the livingroom can read & write to each other even
when neither is logged onto the web via an IP. Meaning that
nothing goes in and out of the //www connection since it does
not exist when no IP is availabe or connect to.

thanks
