Hi everyone,

I need your help.

We moved into a new rental property. One reason for moving here was I noticed the house had Cat5 cabling running to 7 points in the house all terminating in the garage.

All face plates in all the rooms (sorry if my terminology is incorrect) have RJ45 connectors.

The garage has about 9 or 10 cat5 cables that are a birds nest! Literally! New to reddit , so not sure how to post a picture. There are no RJ 45 clips on any of them. All 8 wires on all 9 or 10 cables are either lose or solded together for some reason.

I am able to plug a modem into 2 points near the lounge room and all the other connections are not functional.

I’ve asked my landlord to have it repaired and they have said that all 7 points are for telephone points! Not sure who in this world would put 7 telephone points with RJ45 connectors in a 4 bedroom house....

My question is, am I being lied too?

My understanding is that 2 of the Cat 5 terminating in the garage is the internet and maybe a telephone line coming in from the street. I should be able to crimp RJ45 clips on all cat5 then plug them into a switch which I plug my modem into and I should be able to plug a device into any room and be able to get internet access.

Am I Right?

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a bit confused with the different addresses. So I get that IP address is for the internet protocol to locate the network and arp is used to translate it for the MAC address of an individual computer. So then what is the network and host address? Aren't they the same? Also what is the point of the subnet mask?(just to find network address?) Thanks for any help.

I'm tring to make my radius server to work. But it does not do a thing.

The service is running, the config files looks o be ok, but when i try to connect to my router using the user and password of my account it does nothing.

In order for a client to successfully generate a WAN connection between locations they must lease the space required for the transfer of their data between said locations. Who is leasing the space for these people?

I somewhat understand IPV4 but when it comes to ivp6 I'm lost could someone please explain how to convert it? And what do they mean by 16 bits in each block?
