I read some textbooks about networking technology but could not find the clear answer for some question as follow:
1- What is the terminology for the description of each item below:
A: IBM's specifications that describe how users and programs interface ________.
B: Protocol that enables sharing of file systems over TCP/IP networks __________.
2-With reference to the OSI model, What are the major different between LAN and WAN.
I am desperate to look for the answer. Thanks in advance for any input. My Email address ccat@pressroom.com
Networking Expert helpppp please.

Is this for a test you have to take? LOL
A: IBM spec? Who cares. :-)
B: Hmm... On a Micro$oft network, it would be File and Print Sharing (a service, rather than a protocol) on UNIX you would just set your permisssions on the directories and files, groups, etc...
The diffrence between a LAN and WAN is distance and numbers. Mostly a WAN is an internetwork of LAN's over a wide area. For instance, say you have 300 offices spread throughout the Unites States, each office on a different subnet representing it's own LAN. They are all interconnected by Frame Relay circuits, thus creating a WAN.
