As soon as it communicates with a remote server, the server allocates a unique IP address in order to identify the individual computer.

A technician installed a network adapter in a computer and wants to test the network connectivity the ping command can only receive a response from local workstations what could be the problem?

If you can connect to other computers on the same network, but you can't connect outside the network, the problem is quite often that the default gateway has not been configured correctly.If you can connect to other computers on the same network, but you can't connect outside the network, the problem is quite often that the default gateway has not been configured correctly.If you can connect to other computers on the same network, but you can't connect outside the network, the problem is quite often that the default gateway has not been configured correctly.If you can connect to other computers on the same network, but you can't connect outside the network, the problem is quite often that the default gateway has not been configured correctly.


How are IP addresses assigned from a pool of IP addresses?

That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned. Any time a host (computer or similar) requests an IP address, the DHCP server will assign an available address and mark it, in its memory, as "assigned" so it won't assign the same address to another computer.That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned.

What server gives the PC its subnet mask and default gateway?

a dhcp server.............What is DHCP?Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.DHCP assigns an IP address when a system is started, for example:A user turns on a computer with a DHCP client.The client computer sends a broadcast request (called a DISCOVER or DHCPDISCOVER), looking for a DHCP server to answer.The router directs the DISCOVER packet to the correct DHCP server.The server receives the DISCOVER packet. Based on availability and usage policies set on the server, the server determines an appropriate address (if any) to give to the client. The server then temporarily reserves that address for the client and sends back to the client an OFFER (or DHCPOFFER) packet, with that address information. The server also configures the client's DNS servers, WINS servers, NTP servers, and sometimes other services as well.The client sends a REQUEST (or DHCPREQUEST) packet, letting the server know that it intends to use the address.The server sends an ACK (or DHCPACK) packet, confirming that the client has a been given a lease on the address for a server-specified period of time.When a computer uses a static IP address, it means that the computer is manually configured to use a specific IP address. One problem with static assignment, which can result from user error or inattention to detail, occurs when two computers are configured with the same IP address. This creates a conflict that results in loss of service. Using DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses minimizes these conflicts.
