No, the Operating System has nothing to do with the IP address, which is assigned by an administrator (usually through DHCP).it is unique for each device in a network.

What is VDU base memory address?

Visual Display Unit 's Base Memory Address. - Every device in a computer requires a unique base memory address ( an address that the computer systems Bi/oS uses to locate a device) As each device has a unique area of memory, the computer knows that when it uses this area it will be for that device, and thus be able to communicate with the device. Extended Bi/oS can be found on expansion cards with new functions or updated functions. This must be treated as a device so that the currecnt system Bi/oS can read the extended Bi/oS contained on the card, and use them.


How do you access an IP address from a mac?

Find your IP Address via the Mac OS X TerminalThis is how to find the IP address of your Mac through the Terminal, this is often the quickest way for those that are more technically inclined. Launch the Terminal located in /Applications/Utilities/Type the following command:ifconfig |grep inetYou will see something that looks like this:inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000inet6 fe80::fa1e:dfff:feea:d544%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255Your IP address is usually next to the last entry of 'inet' and in this case is 192.168.0.100, an IP address is always in the format of x.x.x.x but it will never be 127.0.0.1 because that is your machines loopback address. Because you can always ignore 127.0.0.1, this guarantees that your IP address will be the other IP between 'inet' and 'netmask'The other command line option is to use: ipconfig getifaddr en1 which reports back only your en1 (usually wireless) IP address. You can change this to en0 for wired/ethernet too. I have heard ipconfig is not supported in all versions of Mac OS X so I did not recommend this as the first choice. However, using ipconfig you can also set your IP address from the command line.Find your External IP Address in Mac OS XYour external IP address is what is broadcast to the world rather than your local network (behind a wireless router, for instance). This is easiest to find through a Terminal command a well: curl whatismyip.org This will instantly report back your external IP address. We covered this command when finding your external IP address in the past.


How do you set the ip address if the computer has dual boot os winxp 2003 server and Linux?

Unless you have a very odd / archaic setup, IP addresses should be issued by the router. If you need the IP address to be consistent, you can reserve them in the router. Specifying an IP address manually is generally a bad idea if the router is issuing IPs via DHCP, since the rest of the network won't respect the one you have chosen for the computer.


Does my wireless printer server need its own IP?

Yes, your wireless print server will have its own IP address. However, you should not have to manually assign this IP address. The network you connect to should use DCHP which will automatically assign the print server the next IP address on the list for your network. All you should have to worry about is hooking it all up correctly and having the drivers you need. Configuration is normally OS dependent.
