What is the difference between internet and intranet?

Answer 1

The Internet is everything out there. Web pages, search engines, web-based e-mail, porn, social networking sites, online banking, net auctions.

The Intranet is all the services that are running inside a network. In a corporate or campus setting, the Intranet can be the in-network information server that you access using your web browser. You'd usually have to be physically on the network (or do geeky things to make it look like you're physically on the network) to view it.

Answer 2

The Internet is the information super highway, and it is public. When people refer to an intranet it is a private network that can actually reside on the Internet. Typically it is a corporate network that is mostly behind a firewall, but several external resources can still access this intranet by using technology like VPN's. This allows the external resource to use the company intranet, even though the infrastructure supporting the communication is over the Internet (the transmissions are encrypted).
