Binary to Decimal Conversion Worksheet #1 and #2

This is a scan copy of worksheet #1 and #2 w/instructor's verifications.

Binary Calculation Exercise

This is a screen shot of (1) Binary calculation exercise.

Showing my final result which was on the second try.

Activity 4 - Observing a TCP - IP Configuration On A Computer 2.1.2010

In this at activity we observed and discussed the OSI Layers 1, 2, and 3 (TCP/IP 1 & 2) and how they must be configured before connectivity can occur. We worked with local area connections, network IP address(s), default G/W, subnet mask, and DNS server address(s). I even did a sketch indicating these connections. When I did

the sketch it really helped me to understand this activity more.

TCP - IP Activity Connection Definitions

Physical Connection - the first and lowest layer in the seven-layer OSI Model of computer networking. The Physical Layer consists of the basic hardware transmission technologies of a network. It is a fundamental layer underlying the logical data structures of the higher level functions in a network.

Physical Address - real address, or binary address, is the memory address that is electronically (in the form of binary number) presented on the computer address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory.

Network (IP) Address - An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.

Default Gateway - A Default Gateway is the node on the computer network that is chosen when the IP Address does not match any other routes in the Routing Table.

DNS Server - the translation (resolution) of humanly memorable domain names and hostnames into the corresponding numeric Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, the second principle Internet name space, used to identify and locate computer systems and resources on the Internet.

Information From The Command Line

This is the screen shot from the

ipconfig/all at the command line.

IP Configuration

IP Address 192.168.1.63
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.265
DNS Server Address 192.168.1.265
