What is User Management used for?
User management I think is personally my favorite about Windows NT. In user management you can give access to someone or deploy there access. You can ban someone from logging onto the server at special times, you can create new account for your special user and a lot more...

What is a router? (Software)
Internet routers are used for letting people on the net share there accounts with others. This allows the other people to also surf the web. These kind of software also has another name called proxy servers what they do is they listen on a port for example port 80 which is the default HTTP port. They listen on these ports and they send and receive data. There are some problems with proxy servers:
A lot of bandwidth as in a slower access to the internet
You will need to setup a static IP on your network so that you would not always have to change the IP in the internet browsers settings.
Simple setup:
I use winroute you can get a free trial at http://www.winroute.cz
After downloading and installing make sure the Proxy Server port is port 80 then open up Internet Explorer or IE and goto options then click on Proxy Connection put in the IP for example my network IP is 134.34.34.17 so I will put that in and for the port I will put port 80 then I should be able to surf the web using that Proxy server it's pretty simple :)
How come I can't connect to the server?
Well there are a few things that can cause this problem for example here are some of which I am well known to:
I use TCP/IP and I can't connect to the server. To solve this program goto the TCP/IP properties in Network -> Protocol then make sure you have DHCP Enabled this mean you have obtain and IP Address checked. Note: Only use this if the server has a DHCP Server
The line may not be plugged in
If your connecting using RAS and u have a Network line also attached remove the network line because this causes a conflict with the server
