Can you use a crossover network cable to connect a laptop to audio receiver?

Assuming you mean a TIA/EIA 568A to B (or B to A), these carry digital data that cannot be used by an audio receiver.

If you want to transfer audio, the laptop probably has a stereo 3.5 mm socket for each of its audio in and out, so you'll need a lead (or leads) with 3.5 mm plug(s) at one end, and the plugs your audo gear uses at the other - most likely RCA connectors.

What IP addresses are subnetted A 139.233.12.12 255.255.255.0 B 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 C 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 D 190.233.17.3 255.255.255.0?

A, B and D are subnets. C is not.

IP addresses A and D are both Class B subnets. Class B addresses normally have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The first two bits of a class B network are always 10 which leaves 14 bits for the network prefix, thus allowing up to 16,384 separate Class B networks (including 139.233.0.0 and 190.233.0.0). The last 16 bits denote the host number thus there can be up to 65,536 hosts per network. By specifying a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 the network can be divided into as many as 256 separate subnets each with 256 hosts.

IP address B is a Class A subnet. Class A addresses normally have a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. The first bit of a class A network is always 0, which leaves 7 bits for the network prefix, thus allowing up to 127 Class A networks (including 10.0.0.0). The last 24 bits denote the host number thus there can be up to 16,777,216 hosts per network. By specifying a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the hosts can be divided into as many as 65,536 separate subnets each with up to 256 hosts.

IP address C is a Class C address, but is not a subnet. Class C addresses normally have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The first three bits in a Class C network are always 110, leaving 21 bits for the network prefix, thus allowing up to 2,097,152 Class C networks (including 192.168.0.0). The last 8 bits denote the host number thus there can be up 256 hosts per network. To make a subnet out of a Class C address you must have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.X, where X may be 192, 224, 240, 248 or 252. That is, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 bits to denote the subnet and the remaining bits to denote the hosts. Thus a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 would allow as many as 4 subnets each with up to 64 hosts, while a subnet mask of 255.255.255.240 would allow as many as 16 subnets each with up to 16 hosts.

It should be noted that the maximum number of hosts is actually 2 less than the figures shown above. This is because the host address with all 0 bits is reserved for network address while the host address with all 1 bits is reserved for broadcasting.

Which of the following higher-level protocols operate on top of TCP?

FTP (reliable file transfer), HTTP (Web page or general hypertext data transfer), and SMTP (email delivery) each add application-level semantics on top of TCP.

What type of networking cable is more reliable stp or utp and why?

STP is more reliable because it can withstand more noise abuse than UTP and therefore provide a more reliable transmission.

Does a crossover cable connect a switch to a PC?

No, usually that would be a straight-thru cable because the signal is crossed over by the switch itself.

What are the uses of the data link layer in osi model?

Data Link was designed for local area network communication. It means that if you connect your computers locally, you do not need higher layers in order for the computer to see and communicated with each other.

What is the difference between cross connect and inter connect in structured cabling system?

Cross connect is often used when telecommunication equipments are connecting to each other. For example switches to switches and/or routers, PBX to carrier lines, etc.

Inter Connect is used when you area connecting to end users or to the computer/storage equipment in a Data Center. No matters what ends you are connecting: patch panel, switch, desktop end user.

What is static and dynamic channel allocation?

In static channel allocation voice channels(definite set of frequencies) is allocated to each cell.

But in dynamic channel allocation channels are provided at the time of request, a request is send to the base station which then sends a request to mobile switching center(MSC) asking for the set of frequencies to be used.

What is a network resource?

A network resource is an individual computer on a private network that users can connect to. It can either be a terminal server or a computer with remote desktop enabled. An example would be telecommunications media.

What is the default IP address of Windows?

If you mean when a computer cannot receive a IP address, it is called APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing). What that does is if the computer cannot receive a ip address from the DHCP (Dynamic host control protocol) server. It is assigned a IP address 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254.

Note: Keep in mind you will not be able to access the Internet because this is a private address.

Why does one computer connect to the internet with a router but the other one says there is a conflict with the IP address?

This happens in several cases,among them one of the reason is due the same I.P address of the more than one computer over the same network .It also may happen that the two computer is connected in LAN through a hub,so the IP Address may conflict.

What is the feminine of peer?

The answer is peeress according to the oxford advanced learner's dictionary.

What TCP IP utility is commonly used on the command line of routers?

Two commonly used utilities, for troubleshooting, are ping and traceroute.

Which type of physical topology uses a single length of cable end to end?

A bus topology uses cable to go from one device to another, in a daisy chain. There are no other devices required, such as hubs, switches, repeaters, etc.

How do you Justify upgrading the physical bus network?

It depends on what you are doing in terms of "upgrading". The first question would be upgrading to what? Or simply extending the bus structure? Justification also consists of budgeting, costs, personnel training, and other factors.

Your network address is 172.25.114.250 what is the host range?

If you mean the range of IP addresses in the subnet, additional information is required. Specifically, the subnet mask.

What is Shuffle Exchange Network?

it is an interconnection network that is designed for connection between processors.this model works whit 2 functions:shuffle and exchange.

shuffle function: shuffle( sn-1,sn-2,...,s0)= (sn-2,...,s0,sn-1)

exchange function: exchange (sn-1,sn-2,...,s0)=(sn-1,sn-2,...,~s0)

for example,we can sum integers whit shuffle exchange network with this algorithm:

summation(SIMD-PS)

begin

for i=1 to log n do

for all pj where 0<= j <= n do

shuffle aj

bj := aj

exchange bj

aj := aj+bj

end for

end for

end

this model of interconnection networks is SIMD(single instruction multiple data) from Flynn architecture and in useful for parallel algorithms.

How do you locate lan settings?

You need to log into the system, then check the network configuration settings. This command varies by operating system. For Windows based systems, use 'ipconfig'. For Unix and Linux based systems, use 'ifconfig' on the adaptor name.
