We learnt that an IP ADDRESS is a group of four numbers separated by dots and the first number is never higher than 256. There are four types of IP Addresses: Public, Private, Static and Dynamic:
- PUBLIC: the Public IP Addresses are the ones that can be found on the internet.
-PRIVATE: it is something that you have to connect to a router without showing your IP Address on the internet. It usually starts with a 10 or 192, for example: 192.168.X.X or 10.X.X.X
-STATIC: it is manually configured.
-DYNAMIC: it is an IP Address that is configured externally and that changes every time you turn your router on.
Now, I'm going to explain some things we learnt about the NIC IP Configuration:
It is really important to know that every time you want to configure your computer, you need to use four numbers. You need a number that is inside the Network Mask, you should know that all the numbers start with: 255. For example: 255.255.255.0
There are also numbers that you can find in the Gateway, there, you have the internal IP Address of your router. An important fact you should know is that if the internet wires are not connected, you won't be able to check your Gateway.
To sum up, I'm going to talk about the DNS (Dynamic Name Server): if you have problems with your DNS, you can take your card and write: 8.8.8.8 on it to fix the problem. At my high school we have our own DNS Servers.
Hope you find it useful.
