"TCP/IP"  Please respond to the following:

• Your friend is having a hard time studying TCP/IP addressing for the exam.

You need to find the class of the IP address, the subnet mask, the network ID and the host ID of that address. If you don’t know how to ping a website, ask your instructor or one of your classmates, or even better, research on the web and find out how yourself. After all, we’re here to learn.
