Tinker 0 Posted June 2, 2007 255.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.255 Would someone be knid enough to explain the difrences here? Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunraa 0 Posted June 2, 2007 This are masks for network. This basically means what kind on IPs are available for you in your network 255.255.255.0 - this means that you have 256 IPs available for you. Usually we use 192.168.1.* range. That zero at the end of the mask means that you will have first 3 numbers fixed, but for the last one you can use number from 0-255 for 255.255.0.0 you can use 65536 IPs. First 2 numbers are fixed, and you can change the last 2 numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 0 Posted June 2, 2007 So 255.0.0.0 would make 16581375 IP adresses available? Also for a small office setup, i guess 255.255.255.0 would be best? Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Oh no, too much of a walk to the loo! http://www.winterlift.co.uk/mobile_crane_hire.htm Doing well here on the course, no questions at present Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROCO*AFZ* 0 Posted June 4, 2007 I wish my testing was online lol. Tuesday i'm going for a 3 hour exam Cram and then taking a test (There is a 4 hour window for it) that will give our company a new status and bonuses on sales. With this test i get the small business solution certification for SBS 2003 + the newly updated MCP. (Both of which are microsoft tests). Most of the stuff i am already doing but it should be interesting as some tests have multiple correct answers... grr. The Testing is free though... our distribution pays for hotel, meals exam cram (1200+ value) and the test(100) God i hate testing lol! wish me luck! Glad your doing well with your course Tinker. The A+ is the 1st step and between that and networking essensials you'll learn the most that you will apply in the real world unless you decide to work on servers/routers and such.

Tinker 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Cheers Roco I`m enjoying learning, but long way to go. Q for anyone: How do i Boot windows to a command prompt? This doesn`t mean simply boot pc and go to command prompt i guess? Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunraa 0 Posted June 4, 2007 press F8 at startup (when you hear that comp is checking for CD/DVD/floppy) and choose start with command prompt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Thnx again Sunraa Q for anyone: I have a pentium 4, Packard Bell. Last year i had a new mobo fitted, not the same as the original. Now my system restore disc no longer works. What are my options to make a complete restore now? Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dannik 37 Posted June 4, 2007 Now my system restore disc no longer works. What are my options to make a complete restore now? Unfortunately, you'll need to acquire a new copy of the OS of your choice. OEM restore discs are pretty much only for the exact same machine they ship with.

Tinker 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Thnx Dannik, I was assuming that would be the option. Now i have my notebook happily running wireless for now, and this pc is my main and all fine, both running XP. Concidering i am hoping to be a tech someday, do you think it would be wise to install a diffrent operating system on it? Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunraa 0 Posted June 5, 2007 I have windows 2003 server as my primary system. For testing i'm using Vmware Server : http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ , which is free. you can run every OS in vmware as long as you have enough of resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CR6 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Concidering i am hoping to be a tech someday, do you think it would be wise to install a diffrent operating system on it? The answer is "yes" as being a tech, you need to know how to work with various OS's, even legacy ones like Win98/ME that are unfortunately still on some systems. Play around with Linux and even Mac OSX if you have a chance. Although I am not crazy about Vista in it's current form, one of the reasons I bought it and installed it is to get familiar with it just so I could help answer friend's questions about it.

Tinker 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Good advice, thnx to you both. I am to try the vmware out and keep home edition going, but look into adding Mac at the present. Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
