The best way to understand a mac address is like a house.

If you add another networking device then you have another different mac address for it. Maybe like a neighbors house, just the other house is still on your street.

The IP address is like an apartment meaning 1 MAC address and several IP addresses(apartment a, b c and so on).

To have one networking device and more than one mac address would mean that virtual networking has been added and a quick system restore to the point prior to the date the new project started will return all configurations to normal, except there may be a few adjusments.

A computer might have more than one MAC address, if two or more NIC are installed, for example one wired and one wireless Ethernet card.

What is the reason that a computer might report an amount of memory that does't match the actual amount installed?

Probably damaged memory. If computer memory is damaged the memory is marked as bad by controller on the chip. A lower amount of memory is reported to the operating system. Also Windows XP will only address 4gb of ram without using a physical address extension. More than this is ignored.


Can a host have more than one IP address?

One of the most simplest ways a computer, or device, can obtain two IP addresses is if you have different network cards in your computer. For example, a laptop might has a Wireless Network Card as well as an Ethernet Card. You are able to assign an IP address to your Ethernet card and the Wireless card. Remember that an IP address is not assigned to a computer, but rather it is assigned to a network interface card.

What does 99 GB of ram mean?

It means that there are ninety nine billion addresses which can contain data in the Random Access Memory (this might be the case for a super computer or a large mainframe). Most PC's seldom have more than 16 Gigabytes of RAM (fall 2009) Windows Operating Systems prior to XP could not address more than 4.


How do you get more MegaBits?

Up to the limit that your computer can use you can increase both the amount of Random Access Memory inside your computer and fit a larger hard disk inside as well. RAM is the biggest limiting factor because if you put more RAM in than the computer can use you will only be able to use what your computer can actually address.
