SpeedUpMyPC Terms Explained

IP Address

Question: What is an IP Address?
Answer: An IP address is an address used by TCP/IP to identify computers on a network. All computers connected to the Internet use IP addresses to find each other. An IP address includes 4 numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The first two or three numbers are usually the network address used to find a certain LAN, while the last number(s) point to a specific computer on that network. If you are located on the network 10.55.10, you might have the address 10.55.10.15. Another computer on the same network might have the address 10.55.10.16 and so on. While IP addresses can be used to locate any server on the Internet, such as http://216.12.209.12/, most programs use names like www.liutilities.com instead. These names are translated into IP addresses by a DNS server and the IP address is then used to connect to the server.
