What is a IP address for?
An ip address is to a computer what a mailing address is to a house or business. It is what identifies a computer on a network and allows it to receive information that is sen…t to it. Without an ip address, other computers (and network devices) would not know how to send information to a given computer. IP addresses are most commonly known in their version 4 format. An example is: 172.168.1.1. IP addresses can either be dynamically assigned (automatically assigned) or statically (manually) assigned. The majority of personal computers on the internet receive dynamically assigned IP addresses from the internet service provider that is connecting the computer to the internet. Do not confuse an IP address with a MAC address. A MAC address is similar to a serial number in that it is unique per hardware device and does not change. For the technical critics out there, the MAC address also serves a different purpose and operates on a different layer of the OSI model.
