I read the first dozen+ slides ( real good wording/intro I'd say!)
..then ADD-like, surfed later slides and found a minor gem
in slide30 so I'll type it back here if I may, just for fun :

    (Networking)  Addressing and Networks
                             (review exam :)

What address/addresses represent a network and which a host
      (assume a netmask of 255.255.255.0)

a) 192.168.1.35
b) 192.168.7.12
c) 192.168.3.0
d) 192.168.0.255
e) 192.168.0.0

ANSWER:    ( network: c,e )  ( host: a,b )
d) is neither, it is the broadcast address for network e
Notice how it is natural to refer to that network by its addr 192.168.0.0

Incidentally, that term "host". It simply means computer.
You run into it alot when you are setting up ip addresses.
(end of slide 30).

Mask? What Mask? I'm gonna need one, once networked? -Host

Over a year ago when this discussion started, I saw Andy's comment
above about Doug Waud's home networking talk.  I remember the talk
fondly, with the slides containing many humorous pictures of tin cans
and string.  The WLUG website had a link to Doug's slide deck, but it
was a broken link to http://www.townisp.com/~dougwaud/homenet.htm.  I
spent hours looking for a backup of the slides on my systems and on
the Wayback Machine (archive.org).  I even contacted TownISP's support
to see if they had a backup of users' old websites, to no avail.  So I
gave up and never mentioned it at the time.

Well guess what...fast forward to today...I was looking for something
unrelated and stumbled upon a backup of my long gone Sun Ultra 10
system that ran Aurora Linux (a rebuild of Red Hat/Fedora), and in
there I found a copy of the slide deck!

So I updated the WLUG website's Archive section [1] with the slides:

Home Networking (March 2001)

Presented by Doug Waud. Written by Doug Waud, Chuck Anderson, and Stephen Daukas.

You may view the online presentation [2] at your leisure, or you may download the HTML [3] or the download the original StarOffice slide deck [4].
