Are IP address' assigned to the router or the location of the router?
the router is assigned an ip address.
In an IPv4 environment what information is used by the router to forward data packets from one interface of a router to another?
It uses the MAC address, Media Access Control. Every packet sent from a computer contains its MAC address. The router stores this in its routing table. When it receives a packet with a destiation address of that MAC address, then it forwards it to that computer. This is called NAT, Network Address Translation. It uses the Destination IP address
Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.
What kind of printer has an IP address?

What security advantage occurs from Packaet's containing the source NIC address and not just the destination NIC address?
The message must travel from your computer to your router. Every computer connected to a network has a network interface card (NIC) with a unique physical address, called a MAC address (for Media Access Control). At the data link level, two more headers are added, one for your computer's NIC address (the source MAC) and one for your router's NIC address. A data link layer structure with destination MAC, source MAC, and data is called a frame. Every NIC selects from the network those frames with its own address as a destination address. The data link layer adds the structure necessary for data to get from your computer to another computer (a router is just a dedicated computer) on your network. Data Link Layer Transformation.

What is host ip number?
A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address. Typically a computer, but it may also be a printer, a switch, a router port.A "host IP number" is an IP number that can be assigned to a host. This excludes the first and last IP address of each network, which can't be assigned to hosts.A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address.

A router can improve network security if it includes the use of NAT (network address translation) and/or a firewall.

Why host have been assigned the same network ip address?
You will need to log into your router/modem, and make sure that you have DHCP enabled. This allows the router to assign each machine/mac address it's own IP address, so they do not conflict.

How does the router decide which computer is communicating if both computers in a home are connected to the router?
Every networkable device has a unique MAC code assigned by the manufacturer. The router reads this MAC code and associates it with a unique internal IP address within the range it manages, making it possible for devices across that range to communicate with each other and, through the router, with network devices beyond the router itself

How do you open router using ip?
You need to find out the ip which was assigned to your computer (Start->run->cmd->ipconfig). For instance, if your ip is 192.168.11.9 it means that your router is 192.168.11.x network. Most likely it will have ip 192.168.11.1. After you have found out the ip for the router, open Internet Explorer and type the ip in the address field (where you usually type urls).
