• IP Address

• Subnet mask

• Gateway (when routers exist on your network)

■ IP Address

An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer

connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers

separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255. You must

allocate a unique IP address that is correct for the attached

network.

(Example) In a small network, set the IP addresses by changing

the final number.

192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3

■ Subnet mask

Subnet masks restrict network communication, see example

below -

(Example) PC1 can talk to PC2

PC1 IP Address 193. 1. 2. 3

Subnet Mask 255. 255. 0. 0

PC2 IP Address 193. 1. 3. 4

Subnet Mask 255. 255. 0. 0

Here is an example of an IP address and a subnet mask.

IP Address 193. 1. 2. 3

Subnet Mask 255. 255. 0. 0

In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has

an IP address that begins with 193.1.X.X

■ 0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part

of the address.
