IT network
Refers to the way in which earthing is realised.
International standard IEC 60364 distinguishes three families of earthing arrangements using the two-letter codes TN, TT, and IT.
The first letter indicates the connection between earth and the power-supply equipment (generator or transformer):
T : direct connection of a point with earth (French: terre);
I : no point is connected with earth (isolation), except perhaps via a high impedance.
The second letter indicates the connection between earth and the electrical device being supplied:
T : direct connection with earth, independent of any other earth connection in the supply system;
N : connection to earth via the supply network.

IT network
In an IT network, the distribution system has no connection to earth at all, or it has only a high impedance connection. In such systems an insulation monitoring device used to monitor the impedance.
Same reference as above.

: could well be, esp. if no IT equipment is involved (isn't context wonderful?)

Thanks, Ken. Context is everything, esp. when translating ;-)

I think you could also say "if you are on the mains network" or ïf you have mains electricity"

Dutch term (edited):
IT spanningsnet
separate/dedicated IT/computer AC power network / mains network
Take your pick of the options. This probably means a separate AC power distribution network for computers and other IT equipment (probably 'cleaner' that the regular mains power, and at least sharing common neutral and earth/ground potentials).
More context woud be nice.

: I was thinking along these lines too, but I think vixen's interpretation is correct.

agree with you (and Vixen of course) -- I answered before the asker provided the extra tit-bit of context (probably should have asked first)
