Ip?

[rayzor09]

What's this "IP" thing I here som much about?

[spiderman_2k]

IP is the address that your computer sends out when you are connected to the internet..An IP ban is when they ban that number from being allowed to log onto CS!

[rayzor09]

[Frizzo the Clown]

We don't always ban people by IP. It somestimes causes...complications..

IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node. IP forwards each packet based on a four byte destination address (the IP number). The Internet authorities assign ranges of numbers to different organizations. The organizations assign groups of their numbers to departments. IP operates on gateway machines that move data from department to organization to region and then around the world.

What I don't get is with dial up modems your ISP provides your computer a different IP address every time you connect to the net. So how does banning an IP address work?

I know a lot about Computers too, I'm going to Uni next year to learn more, but I've never heard that one before and one of the things they tell us in school is the laws concerning computers. Different countries have different laws.

But.....the ip from one computer isnt static......(meens its not the same all the time). At least as far as i know :)

[Tony Montana]

I can change my Ip... than the connection is slower because I surfing through some server, but Im using its Ip as mine.

[PsychoMike]

If I remember correctly.... IP addresses can either be static or Dynamic. Usually if you have a direct connection to the internet the IP stays the same (static). If you are connected through a server or router your computer has a Dynamic (changing) Ip address but the server or router has a static address.

[Tony Montana]

Thats correct. By having a static connection, you'Re faster.
