IP Addresses

An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Depending on your location, your campus IP address would be "130.184.xx.xxx" or "10.x.x.x." Your computer must be online to obtain an IP address.
