Is it safe to give away your ip address?

The answer is "most likely." If your system is insecure (no firewall, and placed directly in the DMZ), giving someone your IP address is akin to giving them your real house address; if they can figure out a hole in your security, they can steal all of your computer's data and even cause you to lose all your data. However, in the real world, that is often untrue; the modem or router acts as a rudimentary firewall between your computer and the rest of the world. They would have to know your public IP address, and then figure out your private IP address, and use NAT to even get packets to your computer; once there, they would still have to scan your computer for all known vulnerabilities and hope they find a way to exploit your system. At that point, it depends on how secure your computer is. A decent firewall, strong passwords, and up-to-date antivirus will help keep your computer safe. Technically, no computer that is connected to the Internet is 100% safe. However, due to the technical requirements to actually hack a computer, someone that has your IP address most likely will not be able to use it to harm your computer.


Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address?

typically the router that you are using will take 192.168.1.1. It is a usable address, but it is already taken, so the first IP you can use for a device on that network would be 192.168.1.2 the last usable IP is 192.168.1.254 assuming you are using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 Keep in mind that if you are giving devices static IP addresses, it is recommended to reserve the IP address in the DHCP server (typically the router in a home network) or assign it outside of the scope of ip addresses. You can do this through the configuration of the router, typically by entering the router's ip into your browser. (make sure you set your wireless settings to wpa otherwise you will have little or no security)

What is segment address?

A segment address is the contents of a segment register, CS, DS, ES, or SS. It is used after effective address generation to provide an offset in physical memory, by multiplying the segment register by 16 and then adding it to the effective address, giving a 20 bit address. This gives you addressability to 65536 segments of 65536 bytes, each separated by 16 bytes. The register used is usually implicit based on use; CS for code, DS for data, ES for certain string operations, and SS for stack. A segment override prefix can be used to select a different segment register.
