IP Address Introduction for Beginners

An IP address is a four-digit number used to uniquely identify a network card or modem in a computer around the world. Most computers have only one network card and most homes even share the same network modem, and therefore the same IP address, to connect to the internet. Each IP address can further be divided into two parts: the network address and the host address. For example, in this www.cnn.com address, 64.236.91.23, the network address is 3 bytes long and is 64.236.91, while the host address within that network is 23. Networks addresses with 3 bytes are called Class A networks, while those with 2 bytes are called Class B; class A networks are 1 byte long. The entire block of addresses within a network address is owned by a single company that then uses network routers and other technology to assign and connect its hosts to the internet.
