IP(INTERNET PROTOCOL) ADDRESS

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.

IPV4 & IPV6 The most widely used version of IP today is Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). However, IP Version 6 (IPv6) is also beginning to be supported. IPv6 provides for much longer addresses and therefore for the possibility of many more Internet users. IPv6 includes the capabilities of IPv4 and any server that can support IPv6 packets can also support IPv4 packets.

An IP address is binary numbers but can be stored as text for human readers. For example, a 32-bit

numeric address (IPv4) is written in decimal as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be

zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.

IPv6 addresses are 128-bit IP address written in hexadecimal and separated by colons. An example

IPv6 address could be written like this: 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf

STATIC IP CONFIGURATIONAdvantages:

If your IP wont change and thus you don't have to worry about the port forwarding rules not working (Only good for computers that don't connect to other networks).

If you have a server

If you want to connect two computers with cross cable.

Disadvantages:

If your on a laptop and travel (You connect to other networks) you will need to turn your IP information back to automatic, otherwise the IP info may not match any other wireless network you connect to (like at a cafe) and you wont be able to get on the internet.
