They are normally the IP addresses which your computer uses to talk to your internet router/modem. They are not the same as the IP address that your router is known by on the broadband link.


Can IP address192.168.0.101 be routed to the internet?

No. That address is an RFC1918 address. There are sets of IP space reserved for private use. These ranges are 10.0.0.0/8; 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/24. Any address that fall within these ranges are by convention not routable on the internet. Each address on the internet has to be unique. There are only 4,294,967,296 possible addresses theoretically possible with IPv4. That sounds like a lot, but with over 1 billion computers worldwide, and another billion expected by 2014, this is likely to be exhausted at some point in the not too distant future. The solution to this problem is called NAT or Network Address Translation. Basically it allows you to create your own network (not directly on the internet), and then use one (or several) public addresses to communicate with the internet. Since more then one person can have the same address (for example: 192.168.0.1) the addresses cannot know about each other on the internet, as they would conflict. These addresses are kept as internal, and most routers (at least properly configured routers) on the internet will not pass such an address to the internet.

Which of the folllowing uses a single public IP address to access the Internet on behalf of all of the hosts on the network that may be using other IP addresses or private IP addresses?

•If the hosts on a network using private IP addresses need to access the Internet, a problem arises because the private IP addresses are not allowed on the Internet. •The solution is to use NAT (Network Address Translation), which uses a single public IP address to access the Internet on behalf of all hosts on the network using other IP addresses.

What type of IPv6 address begins with 2000?

IPv6 addresses that begin with 2000 are known as global unicast addresses.
