What does interhost communication mean?
Communication between communicating entities/hosts in a network. Happens in Session Layer (According to the OSI model).
What combined with your MAC address allows you to go on the Internet?
Well, an IP address will allow you to get on the internet (Public/External IP address, eg. 203.50.6.14). A MAC Address only comes into action internally in a network, Most notably during the process of DHCP, and APR tables. A MAC address is used to identify machines based on their network cards physical address within a network, where as your Public or External IP address is used to identify you on the internet.
Which network service allows internal addresses to be hidden from outside networks and allows several internal hosts to use the same external address?
NAT (Network Address Translation) offers this service.
When must the ip address be used instead of the mac?
The ip address is used when another computer needs to connect to your computer or if you are hosting a site on your server. The ip address of your site will be the ip address of your computer. The IP address is used when communicating with another LAN (Local Area Network) across a WAN (Wide Area Network).
What describes multiple computers connected and communicating?
network
What is the Mac address used for?
The address for a device as it is identified at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer in the Ethernet networkarchitecture. The MAC address is usually stored in ROM on the network adapter card and is unique.When reaching another host on your own network, or when accessing a router on your network to reach another network, The IP address (4 numbers separate by dots) is converted to the MAC address of the host or router on your network. When the message or packet(S) are sent out, the device with that destination MAC address recognizes that it was meant to receive the message and accepts it. Any other device on the network that can see the transmission is expected to ignore it.An exception is a device or router that is configured to be "promiscuous". Such a machine will also accept and process all transmissions even if meant for another device. This is often used for network monitoring/logging, maintenance, and problem resolution.Although the MAC address is hard coded into the network interface or device, in almost all cases it can be changed. An example for this is when an ethernet network is used with the DECnet protocol. DECnet can be used instead of or togetherwith TCP/IP (or Netware or NetBEUI). The DECnet protocol requires that the MAC address be changed to incorporate the DECnet address as part of the MA address.A MAC address is the serial number of a network card - or other equipment that connects to a network, usually an Ethernet network. In an Ethernet network, the MAC address is used as source and destination address, to know who is communicating with whom. For example, a switch uses the MAC address to forward a frame (a pieces of data) to the correct computer.
Can you identify the advantages of using network address translation NAT in a network?
Internal addresses are hidden from external networks A company needs fewer registered IP addresses to access the Internet
What network map is one of the most powerful and versatile methods of communicating over a network?
Drive
WHAT IS MEANT BY wan?
WAN is an acronym for Wide Area Network. There is no specific protocol; we use the same protocols regardless of which network we are communicating with. The gateway computer determines whether a specified IP address resides within the intranet (the local network) or the internet (WAN) and routes the packets accordingly.

What is the network address for 195.70.16.93?
195.70.16.0 would be the network address
What part of an IPv4 address specifies a particular network interface on the network?
The host portion specifies the particular network interface's address. The network portion specifies the network address.
