•Your PC’s IP address is the one titled as IP address (192.168.1.77 in this example) •The router’s IP address is the one titled as Default Gateway (192.168.1.
Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs a default gateway. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not in the same network, the device will send the packet to default gateway, which will then forward it to the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address for every computer in your network.
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID. For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is, 11111111.11111111.11110000.
