This number is an exclusive number all information technology devices (printers, routers, modems, et al) use
which identifies and allows them the ability to communicate with each other on a computer network. There is a
standard of communication which is called an nternet rotocol standard (). In laymans terms it is the same
as your home address. In order for you to receive snail mail at home the sending party must have your correct
mailing address (

) in your town (
) or you do not receive bills, pizza coupons or your tax
refund. The same is true for all equipment on the internet. Without this specific address, information cannot be
received. IP addresses may either be assigned permanently for an Email server/Business server or a permanent
home resident or temporarily, from a pool of available addresses (first come first serve) from
your nternet ervice rovider. A permanent number may not be available in all areas and may cost extra so be
sure to ask your .

 

 This allows the IP address to be translated to words. It is much easier for us to
remember a word than a series of numbers. The same is true for email addresses.

For example, it is much easier for you to remember a web address name such as whatismyip.com than it is to
remember 192.168.1.1 or in the case of email it is much easier to remember email@somedomain.com than
email@192.168.1.1



 An IP address that is not static and could change at any time. This IP address is issued
to you from a pool of IP addresses allocated by your ISP or DHCP Server. This is for a large number of
customers that do not require the same IP Address all the time for a variety of reasons. Your computer will
automatically get this number as it logs on to the network and saves you the trouble of having to know details
regarding the specific network configurations. This number can be assigned to anyone using a dial-up
connection, Wireless and High Speed Internet connections. If you need to run your own email server or web
server, it would be best to have a static IP.



 An IP address that is fixed and never changes. This is in contrast to a dynamic IP address
which may change at any time. Most ISP's a single static IP or a block of static IP's for a few extra bucks a
month.


  Currently used by most network devices. However, with more and more computers accessing the
internet, IPv4 addresses are running out quickly. Just like in a city, addresses have to be created for new
neighborhoods but, if your neighborhood gets too large, you will have to come up with an entire new pool of
addresses. IPv4 is limited to 4,294,967,296 addresses.


  This is an experimental protocol for UNIX based systems. In keeping with standard UNIX (a
computer Operating System) release conventions, all odd-numbered versions are considered experimental. It
was never intended to be used by the general public.


  The replacement for the aging IPv4. The estimated number of unique addresses for IPv6 is
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 or 2^128.

The old and current standard of addresses was this: 192.168.100.100 the new way can be written different
ways but means the same and are all valid:

* 1080:0000:0000:0000:0000:0034:0000:417A
* 1080:0:0:0:0:34:0:417A

* 1080::34:0:417A
