LAN stands for Local Area Network. and the 10/100/1000 would stand for the speed. Onboard would probably mean that the Ethernet card is built in the motherboard.

It means you have an Onboard ...(on the motherboard) LAN card which is compatible with 10/100 and 1000 (1Gigabyte) networks.
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or group of buildings.[1] Current LANs are most likely to be based on switched IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology, running at 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000 Mbit/s, or on IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi technology. Each node or computer in the LAN has its own computing power but it can also access other devices on the LAN subject to the permissions it has been allowed. These could include data, processing power, and the ability to communicate or chat with other users in the network.

LAN stands for Local Area Network. A Local Area Network is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or group of buildings.
Onboard 10/100/1000 LAN means that there is a built in LAN card in your computer and it is able to operate at either 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s or 1000Mb/s(1Gb/s) data transfer rates depending on what other equipment the LAN card is connected to.

LAN - Local Area Network
Onboard - means its already installed on your motherboard.
10/100/1000 - is the speed capability of your network card onboard your motherboard.

lan = local area network
what does Onboard 10/100/1000 LAN mean?
the numbers refer to the transfer rate in Mbits
so 10 is slow. they used to call it 10 base
100 is the normal ethernet that most ppl have.
1000 is gigabyte ethernet .. 10 times faster =)

These could include data, processing power, and the ability to communicate or chat with other users in the network.[2]
The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to Wide area networks (WANs), include their much higher data transfer rates, smaller geographic range, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

On-board 10/100/1000 LAN means that you have an auto sensing Ethernet jack built into the motherboard.
10 means 10 Mbps also referred to as 10base T Ethernet
100 means 100 Mbps also referred to as 100base T Ethernet
1000 means 1000 Mbps also referred to as Gb Ethernet
Mbps refers to Mega bits per second as several reviewers have incorrectly stated Megabytes per second.
LAN simply means Local Area Network.

No point answering this question now as most people have already given you the answer, but just to add my 2 pence worth. :)
LAN. Local Area Network.
WAN. Wide Area Network.
10/100/1000. 10 Mbit. 100 Mbit. 1000 Mbit. are the max transfer speeds.
