Determine your IP address

1) An octet is the four numbers in our IP addresses. They are called octets because they have eight positions when viewed in binary numbers. If all positions are added together, it would equal to 32. This is why IP addresses are considered at 32-bit numbers.

2) The class of IP address that we are using is Class C. IP addresses with a first octet from 192 to 223 are part of this class. Class C addresses also include the second and third octets as part of the Net identifier. The last octet is used to identify each host.
