NIC IP CONFIGURATION

Today in ICT class he have learnt the four main numbers we need to change the private IP Address of our computers, here I'll live you some notes that I've take.

NIC IP CONFIGURATION I

*To configure a NIC we need four numbers:

1.IP ADDRESS (which I have explained in my previous post)

2.NETWORK MASK

     *All the numbers are 255 or 0.

  

                      Ex. 255.255.255.0 

     *It limitates you the number of computers, if your Network Mask is 255.255.255.0, you           can't have more than 255 computers working with the same Network Mask.

3.GETWAY

     *Here your have the private IP Address of your router.

     *You can access to it by going to menu, search programs, write 'cdm', write 'ipconfig, find      'adaptador de ethernet conexión área local', and then the numbers next to 'puerta de            enlace predeterminada' are the numbers of your Network Mask.

                      Ex. 10.0.72.254

Just with these three numbers you can't surf the internet.

4. DNS (DYNAMIC NAME SERVER)

      *It's in the internet, it's not a physical machine that we can have in our home.

      *It translates the URL of the pagues we want to shearch to the IP Address of it. 

                     Ex. https://www.google(...)--->8.8.8.8

      *You can access to it by going to menu, search programs, write 'cdm', write 'ipconfig /all',        find  'adaptador de ethernet conexión área local', and then the numbers next to                      'servidores DNS' are the numbers of your DNS.

Hope all of this information have helped you.

Stay away from drugs kiddos!
