To participate in Internet communications and on Internet
Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet
address that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet
addresses are IP addresses
Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of
the basic unit of information on the Internet (the packet) and
also details the numerical addressing format used to route
the information. Your Internet service provider controls the
IP address of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP
addresses in your network must conform to IP addressing
rules. In smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP
function of a router or gateway to assign the IP addresses on
internal networks.
IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets
across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address.
When you "call" that number, using any connection
methods, you get connected to the computer that "owns"
that IP address.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that maintains a
network that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated
communication line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated
communication lines to companies or individuals who can't
afford the high monthly cost for a direct connection.
Java is a programming language that is specially designed
for writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your
computer through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It
is an object-oriented multi-thread programming best for
creating applets and applications for the Internet, Intranet
and other complex, distributed network.
Local Area Network a computer network that spans a
relatively small area sharing common resources. Most LANs
are confined to a single building or group of buildings.
