Since there are a lot of new terms for some of us XP folks, where do I
find the definitions of the terms. The links doesn't really help in
this matter.

thanks
 
Yeah, just look up anything having to do with firewalls, or even TCP/IP.
They're all standard TCP/IP networking terms (not Microsoft terms).
 
Ooops, I spoke too soon. Some of those things are Vista features, like

BITS Service
Collaboration Infrastructure (People Near Me)
Network Projector
Network Explorer
PC-to-PC Sync
Remote Access Service
Remote Assistance
Remote Desktop
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
Windows Print Spooler Service

But the rest are more standard. Here are some Wikipedia.org links:

Yeah, it's just that if you google 'em you might end up with about a
quadrillion links. Webopedia.com is good for short definitions.
search.microsoft.com for Microsoft-specific stuff (though google will get
you to those too). Wikipedia.org for general encyclopedic stuff.
 
I've got a few:

....in the process of updating it though :o) If you want to email me (haven't
got my Microsoft one through yet... stupid admin guys) with a list of the
terms you want to me to add, I'd appreciate it :o)
