@Jeff-Braasch,
Our current vendor partner CyberVista doesn't have them released yet. https://certify.cybervista.net/vendor/comptia/

We will release them as soon as they have it ready to go. We do not have a timeline for that release from them yet.

The standard pattern that every vendor wants to release as close to the release date as possible but that is no guarantee they will do drop it anytime sooner than that date nor guarantee to do close the exam release date.

Thank you for the answer ronnie! I'll narrow my search to routers and modems that can support these protocols. I just started learning it and networking stuff. So I'll have to go get my own soon to try some home networking of my own!

So the CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ (FC0-U61) is still a valid and current exam from CompTIA. The goal of preparing for this exam is fundamentally like a "survey of the world of IT" and the potential jobs IT related jobs that are out there. It very much lets the career seeking "sample" just enough what it each of the job roles we covered and currently has not been updated. Having said that, CompTIA does plan on changing this and updating this in the future...it will change to CompTIA TECH+. We have no idea on dates for that yet; when it does get announced, we will recorded a course for that too.

I'm currently studying to take the A+ exam.

@brandon-finlay said in Finding out how to find the # of host's available under subnet mask:

I am a little stumped on the whole equation for finding the amount of host's available on a subnet mask. lets say I have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, how would I calculate that if the portion of the host i.d is all 0's? (I am basing this on the fact that if you have a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask the number for X in the equation is 0, which doesn't seem to be correct or is wrong I am uncertain) or if the subnet mask was 255.255.240.0, then it is a classless subnet correct? so How would you determine that as well? thank you in advance :)

The key is understanding what a subnet mask does. The subnet mask helps to identify which portion of the IP address is the NETWORK ID in 32-bit binary numbering. So that means 2 things you need to know...if you do not, you will not understand how to arrive at your question.

Can you convert an IP address into a 32-bit binary number and the subnet mask into a 32-bit binary number?
e.g. Convert 192.168.10.1 into binary = 11000000.10101000.00001010.00000001
e.g. Convert 255.255.0.0 into binary = 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000
If this is confusing you, then you need to learn to do some decimal to binary conversion training.

Do you know how to do binary ANDing?
e.g., Using a binary ANDing truth table as below.

1100 1010 ------ 1000

You want to apply that to the given IP address and Subnet mask in the same manner

11000000.10101000.00001010.00000001 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000 -------------------------------------------------- 11000000.10101000.00000000.00000000 = result of binary ANDing shows you that the subnet mask reveals the NETWORK ID = 1st 16bits

The remaining 16-bits are the number of HOST IDs possible = 2^16 = 65,536 -2 = 65,534.

Do not get me wrong, you can know the answer without knowing how to get the answer but that doesn't mean you know what will help you.

If any of the above has confused you. You many want to check out, this older series but explains in detail how to this and why: https://app.acilearning.com/course/ccent-updated-2018/understandapply-ipv4-addressing3

Congratulations @Rick-Borecki ! Well done.

Glad you got it figured out @Jeff-Braasch

I also tried other ports, including 443 and it did not work for me. But looks like everything is resolved now either way. Thanks for letting us know about the issue!

IDE and PATA are the same, the first name was IDE and when SATA came out, IDE was "retro-named" PATA.

Hey @Mian-Talha-Zia , here is the number for Kaplan support: https://www.kaptest.com/contact-us

@Andrew-Despres you are correct the AMD's AM5 socket is LGA:

Hi @Mian-Talha-Zia

The maximum length for a network segment using RG-58 would be 158 meters. Hope that helps!

Going through my Server+ I utilized 2 different study guides on top of my ITPRO subscription.

Try to find study guides published by Sybex or McGraw-Hill:

They often have "diagnostic" exams where they will test your knowledge across the spectrum of the whole exam as well as end of chapter exams. If you do poorly on any chapter exams you'll know where you should put some focus on study.

All you can take in with you are a couple of scraps of paper and a pencil/pen. Anything you bring in will need to be placed in a locker.

The preferred wireless network is a list of wireless networks that you have already connected to in the past. This is a prioritization of the wireless networks you choose to take precedence. This is not related to DHCP. APIPA is a zero-config technology as you have already mentioned and are correct!

No, they are not the same, wireless repeaters are devices increase or boost the Wi-Fi signal in areas that the antennas cannot cover well and that extend the range of a WLAN. A long range fixed wireless is essentially a Wi-Fi bridge that can for example connect to building's Wi-Fi networks together that is owned by the same organization.

Agreed with this. I had a similar experience with the Server+ virtual labs. I did complete them all but I noticed some seem to be out of order compared with the video material.

Yes...that does happen but you can check my work! ;)

The answer is yes, Android devices will use GPS for location, Wi-Fi and cellular communications for geo-location as well.
