Networks Miscellany

• Placing a $ in the name of a directory makes the directory unlisted across a network but it is still accessible by path.

• NetBEUI is not routable.
• Whether the network is peer-to-peer or client/server (w PDC), each resource must be shared for others to access it.
• Computer names can be up to 20 characters long and cannot include any of the following: " / \ [ ] : ; | = + * ? < >
• Drive mappings change with different users and don't exist if no one is logged on.
