Subnet Mask divides the IP address into two segments and informs the computer which part is the network bit and which one is the host bit. For example, if there is an IP address: 192.168.0.1, it will ...

Although IPv6 adoption seems to be moving at a snail's pace, there's no outrunning it. Brien Posey demystifies some of the addressing issues many admins are still trying to figure out. [Editor’s note: ...
