NIC IP CONFIGURATION

-          Every time you want to configure your computer you need four numbers. Each PC has its own IP ADDRESS.

-          You need another number that is called Network Mask.

-          In the Network Mask all the numbers start with: 255. For example: 255.255.255.0

-          The Network Mask allows you to know how many computers are connected

-          THE GATEWAY: here you should have the internal IP ADDRESS of the router. If the internet wires are not connected, you won’t be able to check your Gateway.

-DNS (Dynamic Name Server): We wouldn’t have internet without the DNS. If you have problems with your DNS, you can take your card and write: 8.8.8.8 on it to fix it. At school we have private DNS because we have our own DNS servers.
