Physical integration is mainly a matter of technical or practical import. It may be necessary to make local copies of some data sources in order to ensure reliability or to reduce access times. For example, in the WWW (World Wide Web), Internet service providers often use local caches of popular web sites to improve access time. Because of the way certain servers operate, it may be necessary to have local copies of all data.

Network address translation (Egevang and Francis, 1994) is frequently used by private companies and internet service providers to mask the internal structure of their environment and to lessen address space requirements. As such, different machines may be seen as a single one by our application. When NAT is in place, the name resolved through DNS is the name of the NAT device and does not reflect the exact name of the target or source of the event. As a result, our application in this configuration identifies a domain but not the exact target or source. 

If your computer at work is on a local area network (LAN), you may already have access to an external connection. Almost all universities have permanent connections between their internal systems and the Internet. If you don t have access to an institutional connection, you have to obtain an access from an Internet service provider (ISP). For a full Internet connection, you must have software to make your computer use the Internet protocol, TCP/IP, and if your connection is through a modem this software will probably use PPP (point to point protocol).

Some pharmaceutical mamrfacturers are implementing extranet web-enabled applications established with suppliers and business partners. Extranet includes Virtual Private Networking (VPN) and offer cheaper Web solutions. Remote node access is achieved using a client with a browser connected to a corporate Web address or Universal Resource Locator (URL). The challenge is ensuring security across the Internet link. A secure session or tunnel is established between the VPN server and the end user workstation. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecommunications carriers are endeavoring to provide a managed extranet/VPN service to corporate subscribers. A major benefit of Web-enabled applications is the ability to recover from disaster scenarios. Business Continuity Plans can actively make use of such applications. 

Before we can discuss connecting Windows to the Internet, we need to discuss the Internet itself. There are some common terms and concepts every technician must understand about the Internet.

They will sell you a connection to the Internet for a monthly service charge (kind of like your cable bill or phone bill). Your computer talks to the ISP using public phone lines, or even using new technologies such as cable or wireless.
