What feature in Windows allows to computers to have the same IP address?
  1. HomeGroup
  2. IP Address Sharing
  3. Netshare
  4. This feature does not exist.
Explanation
Answer: D - No feature in Windows exists that allows computers to have the same IP address.

Key Takeaway - Each computer on a network must have a unique MAC address and a unique IP address, since these unique identifiers are how systems communicate on networks. While certain features in Windows and on SOHO routers, such as NAT or Network Address Translation, allow you to hide behind one pubic IP address (outside of the network), each device must have its own individual IP address.
