Kaloni, when you can connect computers together so that you can share resources - that is called computer networking.

How this is done is by using networking equipment starting from your PC (ethernet / network card) and then along to switches - which are a central place where many computer can be plugged in - to router which allow traffic to traverse between differently 'logically' divided networks.

Like mail - if you want to send a message to a computer - you have to have its address. Computers use a numeric addressing scheme called an IP address.

Sharing web pages on the internet (or internetwork) is computer networking.  You have a network at home that connects to the internet - that connects to yahoo answers' network. You are networking

How this all works in depth can go very deep. There are lots of resource on the internet that can help you

A computer network is anything which allows the joining of 2 or more computers for the purpose of communicating between them In normal use  the internet is one giant network, and your machine joins this network when you co on line. In an office you might have a network allowing people to share the files on other machines. At home if you use a router to connect more than one machine to the internet, the internal connections become a network of their own. You could use this to share one good printer between all of them, or to also share each other's files.
