Hi,

Bit of a rag-bag...don't know all of them, but some of them I can tell you about...

: Echo
A statement that works in DOS and UNIX in a batch file/shell script to print text to the screen. E.G.
echo Hello

: File transfere (FTP)
Protocol for transferring files between 2 machines.

: Telnet
Lets you have shell access to a remote machine like you were there in front of it.

: Domain Name Service
Resolves domain names (e.g. www.example.com) into IP numbers (e.g. 123.45.67.8).

: Whois
Allows you to find out who owns a domain name.

: Finger
Allows you to get information on a user.

: Hostname
Same as a domain name I think....hmmm...can't be 100% sure there may be a differrence.

: Post Office Protocol (POP)
The standard incoming mail protocol that allows you to download email from a mail server.

: Password Generator
Program that makes passwords that are supposedly secure.

: Internet Relay Chat
A chat system in common use.

: InfoSeek
Search engine?

Hope this helps and is what you were after!

Jonathan

not really the same. Hostnames as far as I know are only used on networks. I have a unix network and can identity with each system with a simpler name like 'Laptop', 'OfficePC12', 'intranet.mydomain.com

instead of laptop.mydomain.com, officePC12.mydomain.com, intranet.mydomain.com which would be the domain names for each computer that makes them accessible over the internet.

Ah, yes...you're right. There is a differrence after all....as I said, I wasn't 100% certain. Thanks for clearing that one up.
