An internet network is a virtual data network specification based on a packet-oriented protocol (the internet protocol) which allows data to be transferred between otherwise incompatible networks. Thus, the internet specification describes a hardware-independent data protocol that lies above the hardware protocol (such as Ethernet). The Internet Protocol (IP), however, is only able to exchange data packets between computers. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) extends this ability to allow processes to be addressed on the target computer and to improve the reliability of the inter-process communication. TCP/IP has been implemented by all major software and hardware providers.
WebShare is a high-performance HELIOS file server which enables fast and secure real time file access via any web browser. Since WebShare is compatible with EtherShare and PCShare, Web users can share network printers and files with Mac, Windows, and UNIX users, too.
