Simply put, mNetwork serves as a sort of virtual sandbox for Mike Menefee. The M Network began as a small experiment more than 10 years ago in basic TCP/IP networking and server administration, a small educational project designed to do little more than share files between two computers. The name comes from a simple prompt in the setup for Windows NT 3.51: "What is your domain name?". MNETWORK seemed a good choice at the time, and the name stuck.

It now encompasses a fully functional Internet domain (including email, web, and IRC servers, among others), a network of about 20 devices of various types (computers, PDAs, robots, etc.), and even a Jeep Grand Cherokee. This site will continue to track the evolution of mNetwork and other projects from Mike Menefee.
