Local Area Network

RJ-45 Cross Cable.

It looks like you have a network with static ip addresses. You have set up manually an ip address for your network adapter. Just go in the properties of the adapter and put an ip address from the same subnet as other users are using in the network.

No a bridge will transmit all network protocols to all ports, without restriction; thus the term "Bridge." A Router in true bridge mode will do the same, unless you implement some form of route management (managed bridge / router).

An auto-switching power supply is one which can switch between power inputs instantaneously, preventing a loss of current to the machine.

These power supplies may have redundancy built into them (in effect, they may be one or more traditional power supplies built to work together), or they may not. the key is that they have multiple power inputs (usually in the form of two or more power cords), and can chose which ones to draw power from.

terminate the RJ11 end and on the RJ45 end crimp the 4 wires in the 4 middle slots. run the wires straight through, no crossover

The "W" you see is not the mintmark, it is instead the designer's initials. Rather, the mintmark (if any) is found on the reverse of the coin after the "E" in "ONE DIME". If your coin has no mintmark, or an "S" mintmark, it is a common coin that unless in really great condition, generally sells for about $3 or so. On the other hand, if you have a "D" mintmark, you have an exceedingly rare coin worth several hundred dollars even in the worst condition.

When comparing be sure to read all the fine print. Somewhere imbedded in all the hype about upload/download speeds for most every internet provider will be the words "up to". One seldom gets the full 'rated speed' but rather anything between nothing and the highest number. There is no recourse against the IP provider as they will point out those two silly words "up to" and send you on your way.

Calculating a subnet mask depends on whether you are using the default, classful mask or a true subnet mask to divide a network into smaller pieces.

The defaults are on octet boundaries (every 8 bits):

255.0.0.0 class A network
255.255.0.0 class B network
255.255.255.0 class C network

Any other type of subnet mask with 4 octets (iPV4) can use combinations of those with any octet value from 0 - 255. No number may be larger than 255.

Calculating other subnet masks would be based on how many subnets you want in the network. You could have values such as:

255.192.0.0
255.255.248.0.0
255.255.255.252

The first octet must at least be 255. The other octets may change, based on whether it is a classful default network or it is being subnetted.

The UTP cable it uses an RJ-45 connector. For coaxial cable, it will be either an F connector or a BNC connector.

A layer 1 device will extend a collision domain

Depends on what ports you open, and what kind of internet connection you are running. If you are running a residential internet connection, and you are doing your usual day-to-day things (email, web browsing, youtube) then you should not have an issue opening ports 80, 25, 443 and whatever else you use. Though you should note that if you are doing more dangerous things on your connection (you know who you are ;) ) then you should probably not open these ports as they can be used for malicious things.

Depending on what operating system you have - if it is a Windows system then use the 'ipconfig /all' command. Look for the 'default gateway' address. This is the address to your internet.

For Unix based systems, use the 'ifconfig -a' command and/or netstat command to get the same info.

its only one of the 2 options the other is a wireless adapter but the cord is more reliable

The throughput of a gigabit network connection can vary somewhat based on things such as the speed of the CPU, however, the average throughput is around 300Mb/s. The symbol for giga is G.

Media is always required to connect one device to another on a network. It doesn't matter if it is a client server network or a peer to peer network.

I didn't find a specific reference (perhaps that part isn't standardized), but it looks like the standard UTP cable has a thickness of about half a centimeter. Note that there are other kinds of cables - some of the kinds include UTP (unshielded, the most commonly used cable, mentioned above), STP (similar to UTP, but shielded, therefore a little thicker), and coaxial cable. Optic fibers are also used for Ethernet.
