Re: IP-address

IP stands for Internet Protocol.An IP address or a IP number means is a set of numbers separated by three dots(.) that is used to identify the particular IP on the Internet.An IP address is, as such, generally shown as 4 octets of numbers from 0-255 represented in decimal form instead of binary form.IP address is of two types,Internal IP and an External IP.Internal IP is one that each device like computer,printer has.When you goto Start–>Run–>cmd–>ipconfig you can get your internal IP.The external IP is the one through which one gets connected to the internet.The External IP is got from the ISP and is classified into static and dynamic where static IP does not tend to change and the dynamic IP varies each time the modem is switched ON and OFF.You can check for your IP using Ip-details.com and confirm your public IP.
