Q: What is an IP Address?

Every computer that communicates over the Internet is assigned an IP address that uniquely identifies the device and distinguishes it from other computers on the Internet. An IP address consists of four parts. For example :

206.13.28.12

Think of your IP address as what your phone number is to you. Every device on a TCP/IP network has an address.
