This chapter will continue our journey by investigating our local network connection. We will first check the basics of addresses, pinging, and network scans. Next, we will see how to configure the Linux Network Filesystem (NFS) for data sharing. We will explore its configuration on the client side for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
