Me!<\/p>\n<p>The IP (*internet protocol) addresses of our machines only differ in the last number (octet) (xxx.xxx.xxx.##), and therefore, we only use that last number when referring to each (x machine on x IP). Oh yeah, and the name of each machine is also number.<\/p>\n<p>Confused yet? Just wait! Remember this is a working example. More than example, it&#8217;s my reality!
