An IP address is a code that identifies a particular computer on the Internet. Every computer requires an IP address to connect to the Internet. IP addresses consist of four sets of numbers from 0-255, separated by three dots. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will assign you either a static IP address (which is always the same) or a dynamic IP address (which changes every time you log on).
If you connect to the Internet through a network or broadband connection, it is more likely that you have a static IP address.
