Question

How can I find the network for an IP address?

Community Answer

After you borrow bits find out your block size, it will be the first address of each block. For example, if the block size is 32, 192.1.4.0 is your network IP. 192.1.4.31 is your broadcast.

Question

How do I find IP addresses?

Tim Newman

Community Answer

If you're looking for a public IP address, Googling "ip" should be sufficient to receive an answer. If you're looking for your private IP address (stored on the router), open CMD (windows button + R and type in cmd), and type "ipconfig".

Question

How can I determine the network address on a class A IP address?

Community Answer

Class A addresses are assigned to networks with a very large number of hosts. The high-order bit in a class A address is always set to zero.

Question

What happens if the host is provided with a broadcast IP address or to an address that is already assigned?

Community Answer

You won't be able to connect to the internet, but odds of the being assigned to the broadcast IP are not likely unless you manually assign the IP.
