Page 359: Practice Answers For Page 67 Are Incorrect
----------------------------------------------------
On page 359, under the answers listed for page 67, answers "D" and "F" should be

On page 359, change:
"d. 126.1.0.0
This is a valid address"
To:
"d. 126.1.0.0
This is an invalid address because it falls outside the valid host ID range."
Change:
"f. 190.7.2.0
This is a valid address"
To:
"f. 190.7.2.0
This is an invalid address because it falls outside the valid host ID range."
Page 66 lists valid host IDs.
Page 361: Mismatched Answers In Table
-------------------------------------
In the middle Practice Answers section on page 361, the answers for "Windows NT
Workstation computers" and "UNIX workstations" are mismatched. The chart table
appear as follows:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Type of TCP/IP host | IP address range |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Windows NT Server computers | Assign high numbers to all servers, for instance 200-250. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Windows NT Workstation computers | Assign numbers to the Windows NT Workstation computers using a different octet than that used by the servers and UNIX workstations. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| UNIX workstations | Assign low numbers to all UNIX workstations, for instance 150-200. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Page 365: Practice Answer Doesn't Match Original Question Asked
---------------------------------------------------------------
On page 365, the second paragraph should be changed to match the original
question on page 89.
Change:
"Using the information below, convert your computer's IP address and the IP
address of your default gateway to binary format, and..."
To:
"Using the information below, convert your computer's IP address and the IP
address of your second computer to binary format, and..."
Page 367: Incorrect Explanation For Answer
------------------------------------------
Page 367, explanation for the first question on page 95:
Change:
"The only way to get a network ID of 254 is to use the entire octet, in this case
the third octet."
To:
"The only way to get a host ID of 254 is to use the entire octet, in this case
the third octet."
