Where necessary, give *very* brief explanation(s) 1. A machine in a DHCP environment retains its dynamic IP address even after changing network cable. True, False, Depends (on what) 2.

True, False, Depends (on what). 6. http://www.example.com = http://example.com. True, False, Depends (on what) 7.
