Section 7.11 nitpicks

[randy@…]

Multiple stuff here:

1. Noted in the opening sentence:

"If a network card is to be configured, decide on the IP-address"

I find it unusual to hyphenate IP-address. Even so much that in the very next paragraph it is not hypenated. Either way, it probably should be consistent.

2. Noted in the 2nd paragraph:

"Unless the computer is to be visible to the Internet (e.g., there is a registered domain and a valid block of assigned IP addresses—most users do not have this),"

e.g. and i.e. are typically not interchangeable. e.g. (Latin meaning, exempli gratia - actual meaning, for example) i.e. (Latin meaning, id est - actual meaning, that is)

In the text above, i.e. should be used as the explanation is not an example, it is the actual meaning (translation) of "visible to the Internet"

3. In the valid range of addresses table, since a *range* is being

specified, shouldn't the last octet of the address be the maximum allowed in the range (and the third octet of the Class B)?
