Internet Protocol or IP number is the unique number assigned to any computer on the internet.
Unique address for every computer connected to the Internet. Currently it is composed of a series of four numbers, separated by dots. Example: 127.0.0.1. Domain names refer to IP numbers. See also domain name, internet, TCP/IP.
Every computer that is on the Internet has a unique IP number. The number consists of four parts separated by dots, e.g.209.219.128.158. Most computers also have one or more domain names that are easier to remember. Your Internet provider will tell you what number represents your Web site.
A unique, numeric identifier used to specify hosts and networks. Internet Protocol (IP) numbers are part of a global, standardized scheme for identifying machines that are connected to the Internet. Technically speaking, IP numbers are 32 bit addresses that consist of four octets, and they are expressed as four numbers between 0 and 255, separated by periods, for example: 198.41.0.52. IP allocation for the Americas, the Caribbean, and sub-Saharan Africa is currently handled by the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). IP allocation for Europe is currently handled by RIPE (Reseaux IP Europeens). IP allocation for the Asia/Pacific region is currently handled by the Asia-Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC).
A unique IP number, like a telephone number, for each computer on the Internet.
A four-part number separated by periods (such as 123.456.789.0) that uniquely identifies a computer on the Internet. If a computer does not have an IP number, it is not really on the Internet. Most computers also have one or more domain names that are easier for people to remember.
Also known as Internet Address. Every computer on the Internet has a distinct number (i.e., 10.0.0.128) that uniquely identifies that computer.
