ok... could someone please clearly explain to me the difference between TCP/IP and ethernet... this probably sounds like a dumb question and i think im asking it the wrong way... ie from what i can gather tcp/ip is part of ethernet... but i still dont really get it.
from what my IT text book (yes this is for school, but no im not complete n00b) tells me TCP/IP was developed as a protocol for transmiting data over the internet... but then it says it also used within most networks today.... if so... where is there room for ethernet? if nodes within a LAN use TCP/IP to communicate where does csma/cd ethernet fit it?
im sure there is a simple explaination to my question lol... please help if you can
cheers guys
