	An NIC driver provides a layer between the hardware and the software in any network. All network card manufacturers provide NIC drivers, which sometimes also come with the operating system~~. However, it is always better to use the driver that comes with the card~~.		An NIC driver provides a layer between the hardware and the software in any network.

	Any NOS provides some form of security to its resources and services, the simplest being the user ~~namepassword~~ pair. All users on the network are given a unique user name and they are also given a secret password. Only after verifying that a proper user name and password have been supplied, does the NOS provide access to the designated network services.

	A group is a collection of users in any network. A group is created to give similar rights to a group of users. Groups make administration and management easier.

	A hub or a switch is used as the central exchange point in a Star topology. All computers are connected to the hub in a star-like configuration of wires going in all directions from the hub. A '''Star topology''' is easier to maintain and to expand.		A hub or a switch is used as the central exchange point in a Star topology.
