hardware. For example, to install a network card in any system, one needs the drivers
that are specifically written for that operating system.

What is an IP address?
IP addresses are addresses that identify each node on the Internet. These addresses are
either assigned by a network administrator or received from a DHCP server. Each IP
address is comprised of 4 octets or 32 bits (IPv4).
22-
What are class A, B, and C IP addresses?
Class A IP addresses are IP addresses which the first octet is the Net ID and the
remaining 24 bits identify the Host ID. In class A IPs the first octet is from 1 to 126. IN
class B IPs, the first two octets define the Net ID and the remaining 16 bits are for host
identification. These addresses start from 128 to 191. Class C addresses use the first
three octets foe Net ID and the last 8 bits are for host identification. This range of IPs
start from 192 to 223.

How can I network two computers?
-
First thing is to identify the Operating Sytem that you are running on each system.
-
Second is to acquire a network adapter that is supported in that operating system
or in other words, the manufacturer has drivers for it in that OS.
-
Third is to install the network cards on each system.
-
Forth is to decide on whether using a direct cable between the two systems or
using a hub/switch. If the two systems are connected directly, a
crossover cable
must be used. When connecting to a hub or switch, a
straight through
cable is
needed.
