Or maybe J-dog014 you should go to http://www.IP.com

I found out that IP means Intellectual property. Dont know what that means yet But ill find out.

[Dan Hibiki]

If you mean an IP address, then I can help you. An IP address is a logical (data) address that computers are assigned to use things like networks and the internet. Comparing an IP address to a MAC address (permanent and put onto a networking card), an IP address uses dotted-decimal numbers (e.g. 192.5.5.1), while a MAC address uses huge messy dotted hexadecimal numbers.

All websites have an IP address, as well (usually) as a domain name that is kept in a DNS (Domain Name Service) server. When you click on a link on the internet, look down at the bottom of the window and you'll see an IP address that it is trying to contact.

Simply put, if you didn't have an IP address, you couldn't send and receive information across networks and the internet very easily (there is always RARP (a method where a computer obtaining its own IP address by knowing its MAC address), but that is another networking lesson).

Please come again to Dan Hibiki's networking class.

[Nantuko Joe]

yeah. what he said

[Dan Hibiki]

Argh! Looks like further elaboration with smaller words is necessary.

IP addresses enable computers, servers, etc., to have a logical identity on the internet and networks. The IP address is used much like your address to your home; when somebody wants to send you something, they put your home's address on it. Much the same way with computers. When a computer wants to send a packet (some data) to your computer, it needs an address to do this.

MAC addresses can be explained like this. Think of an IP address as a non-permanent home for you. Your IP can be changed if need be, much like how you can move to another home if need be. A MAC address can be compared to a permanent residence; you live at the permanent residence and sometimes change where your second home is (IP address).

That is as simple as I can get it.

[Nantuko Joe]

Dan, I was not asking you to further explain it, but was actually supporting what you said when i said "yea. What he said." However, your elaboration probably did help him out...

[oO_HoTSauCeOo]

woah, #### Dan you know to much. Heh heh

[Nantuko Joe]

there is no such thing as knowing too much. Now, knowing too little.....
