DATA COMMUNCTION

Do computers in CIS Dept’s computer labs have private or public IP addresses? You can run command ifconfig (linux), ipconfig (windows) to find out the IP address assigned to the machine’s network interface card (usually the eth0 or eth1). Google about “private IP address”, and check if the above IP address is private or not. If the computers have private IP addresses, try your best to find out which router/machine performs the NAT translation.
