"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.
