Here are a few scenarios:
Single Device: If you have a very small network consisting of only one device that needs to communicate with the internet, such as a home computer or a small office server, then only one public IP address is typically needed.
Small LAN (Local Area Network): For a small LAN with multiple devices but minimal external connectivity requirements, such as a home network with several computers, smartphones, and smart devices, a single public IP address can be used with NAT to allow all devices to access the internet through the router's single public IP address.
Multiple Servers or Services: If your small network includes multiple servers or services that need to be accessible directly from the internet (such as web servers, email servers, or remote access services), you may need additional public IP addresses to assign to each server/service. However, it's also common to use port forwarding and/or reverse proxy setups to route traffic to these services using a single public IP address.
VPN (Virtual Private Network): If your small network requires VPN access for remote users or branch offices, you may need additional public IP addresses to support VPN connections, depending on the VPN configuration and requirements.

What are the requirements of LAN?
switch straight cables NIC's - Network Interface Card (for windows) choose "setup a home or small office network" from network connections window assign IP addresses for the PC's
Why are email addresses always in small caps?
All email addresses are in small caps, as are all internet addresses. If you are typing internet or email addresses in large caps, you are in fact "doing it wrong".
Is all class B addresses are APIPA addresses?
No, not all Class B addresses are APIPA addresses. APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) specifically refers to the range of IP addresses from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, which is used for automatic private addressing when a device cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Class B addresses encompass a broader range from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255, which includes both public and private addresses, but only a small subset of APIPA addresses.
Which one of these computers is likely to act as network server in a small network is it supercomputer minicomputer laptop or a network computer?
In a small network, a network computer is the most likely candidate to act as a network server. Network computers are specifically designed to manage and facilitate communication and resource sharing among connected devices. While minicomputers can also serve as servers, they are typically larger and more powerful than what's needed for small networks. Supercomputers and laptops are generally not suited for this role due to their specific use cases and limitations.
Why is class A IP address not suitable for a local area network?
Class A IP addresses are not suitable for local area networks (LANs) because they are designed for very large networks, supporting up to 16 million hosts per network. The vast address space is inefficient for small networks, which typically require far fewer IP addresses. Additionally, using Class A addresses in a LAN can lead to routing inefficiencies and increased complexity. Instead, Class C addresses, which support up to 254 hosts, are more appropriate for most LAN configurations.

How small engine needed before license needed?
engine on wat? car? bike? anything classed as a car/bike, you need a licence to drive it on a public road :D
What are small digital envelopes of data called?
Small digital envelopes of data are commonly referred to as "packets." Packets are units of data formatted for transmission over a network, encapsulating not only the payload (the actual data) but also header information that includes source and destination addresses. This structure enables efficient routing and delivery of data across various network protocols.
What kind of computer stores IP addresses?
Every computer connected to a network stores its own IP address, this includes small gadgets with network capabilities like some cell phones or the iPod touch .A DNS - Domain Name Server - works as a sort of phone directory for computers and stores lots of IP addresses. But a DNS is not a kind of computer, it is just a program that in principle could run anywhere.
What is Network Address translation used for?
The main use is for an entire network to share a single public IP address - or a small set of public IP addresses. The computers in the network would typically use private addresses, as defined in RFC 1918 - for example, IP addresses that have "10" in the first byte.Example -There is a network of 5 computers:PC1 (192.168.1.1), PC2 (...1.2), PC3 (...1.3), PC4 (...1.4), PC5 (...1.5)Connected to a router:ROUTER (216.27.61.137)Which is connected to the Internet:INTERNETWhich has other computers on it.PC6 (217.47.63.149) - This computer does not have NAT because there is no router.If PC1 wants to send PC3 some information, it will reference 192.168.1.3 through the router.If PC2 wants to send PC6 something, its IP address (192.168.1.2) is masked by the router, and instead the router's IP is used (216.27.61.137).If PC6 wants to send PC5 anything, PC6 uses its own IP (217.47.63.149), and sends the information to the router (216.27.61.137). It also references PC5 inside that: 192.168.1.5.If a hacker comes along, they try to hack PC 1.They can't, because they don't know where it is in the network (192.168.1.1)!If the hacker tries to hack PC6, he knows where to get it: 217.47.63.149!
What is universal dossier?
žUniversal Dossier is a concept of public or private storing and sharing of computer data or space in a network with various levels of access privileges.žžThe term Universal Dossier almost always means sharing files in a network, even if in a small local area network.
