Answer to Question 1

An essential hardware component that each device on a LAN must have in order to communicate is a Network Interface Card, or NIC (pronounced nick). A NIC is also known as an adapter card. As you now know, each NIC has a physical MAC layer address. A physical address is an address that is specific, unique, and assigned to one and only one NIC. A NIC's physical address is, in fact, part of the card's physical manufacture. Therefore, if two or more NICs have the same physical address, communication problems will occur. It is possible in the manufacturing process that two NICs could erroneously be assigned the same physical address. In such an event, one of the two NICs would have to be replaced. In a TCP/IP network, any device, regardless of its type, that is connected to the network is referred to as a host. A host might be a client machine, a server, a printer, or any other type of device connected to the network. That host, however, must have a NIC that allows it to communicate on the network.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
