so people cannot hack into your server.
NAT (Network Address Translation) A service that translates a private IP address to a public IP address in packets destined for the internet, then translates the public IP address in the reply to the private address.
Private IP Address
To trace any IP addresses, just put the IP address at the back of IP2Location's url, such as http://www.ip2location.com/10.224.36.83 . 10.224.36.83 is a Private IP Address LAN. This is a Class A private IP range which is for huge organisations. It is for private use only and cannot be accessed on the internet.
A private IP is for internal networks, a public one is for a WAN or the Internet.
Private IP Addresse Because of NAT redirection a small company can rely solely on private IP addresse for its internal network and use only the s one public IP assigned to it by is ISP for Internet communication IEEE recommends that the following IP addresse be used for private networks 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.2 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255
Your public or external ip address will change, but if you use a router and you have things setup to use a static ip address then your computers private or internal ip address will stay the same but your public or external ip address will still change. Public or External IP Addresses are assigned by your internet service provides. Private or Internal IP Addresses are determined by your router if you have one.
The usual reason to use private IP addresses is when you have to share a single public IP address (or a few public IP addresses) among a larger number of computers. Nowadays, this situation is quite common - it is no longer possible to assign a public IP (version 4) address to each and every computer; IP addresses are starting to get scarce. In the scenario mentioned above, private IP addresses according to RFC 1918 are used in combination with NAT (network address translation).
192.168.x.x is an IP address in the private IP address range.
•If the hosts on a network using private IP addresses need to access the Internet, a problem arises because the private IP addresses are not allowed on the Internet. •The solution is to use NAT (Network Address Translation), which uses a single public IP address to access the Internet on behalf of all hosts on the network using other IP addresses.
the ip address you would use to test your own network card would be 127.0.0.1
A public IP address is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while your private IP is assigned to you by your internal router. You can loacte your public IP address on LocatedIP.com
It is unlikely that you will find the IP address 192.168.250.10 on the internet because the .10 represents the number of host connected to an individual network. Also, IEEE recommends that the following IP addresses be used for private networks: 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 Class A 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 Class B 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 Class C
