Should a dhcp server a dns server and a gateway all have the same IP address?
It's up to you. People usually have different ip addresses for gateways and DNS/DHCP servers. It's because a separate server is used for gateway.

With a distance vector routing protocol how is the best route determined?
It looks for the quickest way to the destination by continuing on the shortest path
What is the difference between Extranet and WAN?
Extranets are an add-on to an exiting company network, where as a WAN is any network that exceeds 2 kilometres squared (2 KM^2)
Are network layer address physical or logical?
Layer 3 network addresses are logical addresses and can be easily changed by software.
Networks that cover a small geographic area are call?
Networks covering a limited or small geographic area are typically called LANs (local area networks). Of course, it depends heavily on your description of "small geographic area"
What is the difference in a class a subnet mask and a class c?
The octets are different - a class a is 255.0.0.0 and a class C is 255.255.255.0 for a default subnet mask. Of course, if you are subnetting then this doesn't apply.
The application layer includes software applications?
No, this is a common misconception. The application layer is the interface between programs (applications) and the network layers.
How do you trace the IP address And please tell the IP's 10.224.36.83 location and address?
To trace any IP addresses, just put the IP address at the back of IP2Location's url, such as http://www.ip2location.com/10.224.36.83 . 10.224.36.83 is a Private IP Address LAN. This is a Class A private IP range which is for huge organisations. It is for private use only and cannot be accessed on the internet.
Which computer network model allows each computer to act as a client or server?
The Peer-to-Peer networking model.
Does a switch work at the physical layer?
No...the physical layer is just that: The wires or COAX or fiber that physically makes up your network. If the switch were to work at a physical layer it would literally be opening or closing contacts to make the wires joined together be disconnected or connected...which is NOT the case, there is no physical opening/closing going on.
Switches I was trained on (in the mid-80's) worked based on MAC addresses of devices, that unique only-this-one-device-in-the-world number burned into end units. Or there is a possibility they might work higher up the protocol chain, on the Ethernet Address. it's been too long since I was involved with zeros and ones. But certainly not on the physical layer. Hopefully someone with more recent experience will update this answer for you...

Which is an example of a network navigation device required to move data between two networks?
Without seeing the model it is difficult to know which is step two. If the model is shown then a person will be able to know which is step two.
Do you need to leave wireless router plugged in when not in use?
No. Router are designed in the way they can work 24/7 for many years. Sometimes you need to restart it but it's not a big deal.
How does the network switch affect the connection speed?
That depends on a few things. Be a bit more specific.
A subnet mask is something that divides the IP address into a host and network. It is a very confusing thing but it will also let you see the IP address of the user.
How do you find your dhcp server id?
You haven't indicated what operating system you are using. For windows, using the 'ipconfig /all' command will show you what the DHCP server address is.
What hosts devices would you still need static addresses?
Static addresses are usually used for devices that are not mobile and need to be connected to a DNS name. That would be routers, gateways, web servers, DNS servers, printers, email servers, etc.
What is the network address of subnet ID 6?
Since you haven't given a starting network address or subnet mask, impossible to say.
Which class of id address provide a maximum of only 254 host addresses per network id?
Class C network
Fault tolerance.
