What's this with everyone asking test questions these days on the Bankruptcy forum... anyhow... I probably failed.

If you subnet a class B IP address to 255.255.255.0, how many bits are left for hosts, and how many host IDs does that equal per subnet?

C. 7, 254

You are troubleshooting a network issue a user is having. After having changed his network adapter to static addressing, he can no longer reach the internet. However, the machine resolves Internet names to IP addresses. Observe the adapter’s configuration below, and determine the problem.

A. Gateway is outside of the user’s subnet

Why is the address 172.31.255.255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 invalid as a host ID?

C. The host ID bits are all binary 1’s, making the address a broadcast address and therefore invalid as a host ID.

Which of the following is NOT a reason why some devices can’t be placed on the network map?

D. The device is a domain member

Thanks for your input justbroke! lol yeah I noticed that people ask homework questions here but this is like the forum I visit everyday and I know we have some computer people in here so I wanted to get everyone input.. thanks for your answer I'll double check them with mine when I get home.. anyone else have different answers?

I might have more multiple choice questions that I might post to make sure I'm on the right track.. please bare with me my teacher just gave us a take home final with 250 questions!?!? And I just want to make sure I get most of it correct especially the ones that I'm not to sure with.. thanks in advance!

well, you tell us what you think it is, and we'll tell you if you're right.

sounds good.. might be some where I will be stumped... Hey justbroke are you in a career of computers/networking?

Yes. More than 22 years. I'm at the top of the technical food chain. (Enterprise/Solution Architect) That just means I really don't know the "specialist-level" detail at many levels, but my experience is broad.

Hey JB, got you beat on this one.. 40 yrs mechanical logic, relay logic, transistor mainframes, IC mainframes multiple dyadic processing, raid 5, minis, micros, to the component, token ring thick net, thin net, binary programming, hex, octal, conversions to native language. I can fix anything, but damn, I can't pass a test. LOL.

In the long run, if you have a question, these days, ask a teenager. If he wears a pocket pen protecter, make him a friend. LOL. 'Hub

Nice! If you don't mind me asking what educational track did you follow? I mean did you go to a college or a school like ITT etc?

Traditional college (Information Systems Sciences). I think for the computer industry, depending on what you want to do, purely Technical schools (like ITT) are okay. Especially if you're just going to get an MCSE, CCNA, or similar certifications.

If you're looking to run an entire I/T department someday (Senior Manager, Director, etc), then you may want to traditional 4-year or more degree. Don't get me wrong, you can get far with an MCSE and CCNA (and the like) but the ascension will take longer in larger companies.
