The difference is that you end up being one or the other based on what your
boss feel is the most important part of your job the day he order your
business card  :)

Seriously, we could say that a network admin is the guy (gal) who take care
of hub, switch, router, firewall, the link to your ISP and customer, etc. A
sysadmin is supposed to be taking care of server boxen (NT, Unix, mini,
whatever).  In small organization, this is usually the same guy (gal).  In
practice, unless you are very specialized, you end up doing both.
