ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
My Profound gratitude goes to God Almighty who gave me good health and the strength throughout the period of this project. To my parents and siblings, I say a very big thank you for your financial and moral support during and after the completion of this project.
This project work is fine tuning local area network and deploying a mailing system using Microsoft outlook. Local area network where some or all devices (servers, clients, printers, etc.) are interconnected via microwave radio signals (usual range 130 feet) or in-line infrared beams (usual range 80 feet) instead of cables or wires. Data transfer rate of WLAN is impeded by walls and electromagnetic interference (EMI) by other electrical and electronic devices. Technologies such as spread spectrum can extend the range to 800 feet and beyond, and may overcome the limitations imposed by EMI. See also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Wireless networking gives users the mobility to work virtually anywhere — at their desk, in a conference room, at the airport, in a coffee shop or at their home office. Wi-Fi is no longer considered a luxury, but a necessity, with nearly 100% of notebooks including wireless. Businesses also recognize the value of mobile computing and wireless networking. Wireless LANs increase employee productivity, lower the cost of adds, moves and changes; and facilitate applications like mobile POS terminals and wireless VoIP.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building, using network media. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include their smaller geographic area, and non-inclusion of leased telecommunication lines.
ARCNET, Token Ring and other technology standards have been used in the past, but Ethernet over twisted pair cabling, and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies currently used to build LANs.

1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objective of this work is to list and describe the procedure on how to tune a local area network and list the procedures on how to deploy mailing system using Microsoft outlook.
1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This work as a student, have exposed my knowledge to the description of local area network, that is, the explanation of local area network, and also have made me to understand the function and uses of Microsoft outlook in a computer system.
There are many different types of network and they are as below:
LAN - Local Area Network: A LAN connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings. In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP subnet. In addition to operating in a limited space, LANs are also typically owned, controlled, and managed by a single person or organization. They also tend to use certain connectivity technologies, primarily Ethernet and Token Ring.
WAN - Wide Area Network: As the term implies, a WAN spans a large physical distance. The Internet is the largest WAN, spanning the Earth. A WAN is a geographically-dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a router connects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address. A WAN differs from a LAN in several important ways. Most WANs (like the Internet) are not owned by any one organization but rather exist under collective or distributed ownership and management. WANs tend to use technology like ATM, Frame Relay and X.25 for connectivity over the longer distances.
LAN, WAN and Home Networking: Residences typically employ one LAN and connect to the Internet WAN via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a broadband modem. The ISP provides a WAN IP address to the modem, and all of the computers on the home network use LAN (so-called private) IP addresses. All computers on the home LAN can communicate directly with each other but must go through a central gateway, typically a broadband router, to reach the ISP.Other Types of Area Networks
While LAN and WAN are by far the most popular network types mentioned, you may also commonly see references to these others:
- Wireless Local Area Network - a LAN based on Wi-Fi wireless network technology
- Metropolitan Area Network - a network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city. A MAN is typically owned an operated by a single entity such as a government body or large corporation.
- Campus Area Network - a network spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN, such as on a university or local business campus.
- Storage Area Network - connects servers to data storage devices through a technology like Fiber Channel.
