4b)    The computer utilizes a wired Ethernet connection. The network adapter is identified by the physical or mac address 00-50-B6-62-2A-2C. The connection’s IPv4 address, 192.168.0.136, was assigned through DHCP by a server at 192.168.0.1. The Internet gateway and DNS proxy are also 192.168.0.1 indicating this is likely an all-in-one router. The connection’s external IPv6 address is 2605:6000:1007:c040:c1f1:92a7:bfbb:dfdb and is changed once a day to avoid address tracking. The connection’s local IPv6 address is fe80::f43f:aa49:2b7b:5698 and was assigned by the router.

4c)    Please explain what a Physical Address is in your own words. Be sure to provide in-text citations and references to support your explanation.

5)    Please describe in your own words why Internet access appears to be automatic to most users despite the configuration requirements described here. Be sure to provide in-text citations and references to support your explanation.
