The current state (year 2003) of the computing and networking in the Lab is described. The existing system was developed in frame of topical plan for JINR research, LIT and DLNP plans to support theoretical and experimental research at DLNP. The Lab's LAN is build using 100 Mb/s fiber optic links between buildings, 100/10 Mb/s twisted pairs inside buildings and based mainly on CISCO switches and UNIX servers. The computing possibilities are presented by a number of distributed powerful workstations based on Intel platform and running Linux or Microsoft software. Also a centralized LINUX computer farm is intended for physicists computations. The UNIX cluster provides all necessary services.
