Dutch term

computereiland

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
I am currently working on a short IT translation, and am struggling with the above term.

The context is as follows:

"Via een Course in BlackBoard (Server) worden opdrachten, aanwijzingen, voorbeeldtoets, samenvattingen en hints uitgewisseld. Er is tijdelijk een Course geopend (InfoNID) waar je algemene actuele informatie vindt, Zoals de IP range per computereiland"

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

Anne
