ARPANET was established by DARPA in 1966 to enable resource sharing between remote computers. Bob Taylor initiated the project, Larry Roberts served as program manager. First successful host-to-host connection established between UCLA and SRI in 1969. Network was declared operational in 1971 with remote login and file transfer capabilities
J.C.R. Licklider proposed universal computer network concept in 1960. Paul Baran developed message-blocked network concept in 1960s. Donald Davies introduced packet switching in 1965. ARPANET launched in 1969 with ARPANet project led by Robert Taylor
A packet is a small segment of data sent over computer networks. Data is divided into packets and reassembled by receiving devices. Packets work similarly to index cards for sending letters
TCP/IP protocol suite configuration data comes from registry. Configuration information is gathered by Network tool in Control Panel. DHCP Client service can provide additional configuration data. Windows XP TCP/IP implementation is largely self-tuning
The Internet is not a cloud or magic, but a global network of interconnected computers. ARPANET was created in 1958 to address concerns about Soviet space exploration. J.C.R. Licklider's vision for computer-human symbiosis laid the foundation
Windows users frequently encounter tcpip.sys blue screen errors. Error occurs due to faulty network card drivers. TCP segments are received on different processors. Software conflicts can also trigger this issue
