There are several different topologies of Computer networks. Here are several, with diagrams:

A bus topology

A "bus network" is hooked together like stops on a Public Bus route, one after the other. Bus Network.png

A ring topology

A "ring network" is literally in the shape of a ring; devices reach each other by passing data around in a ring. Ring Network.png
