IP Address?
I have 2 email addresses, ( one personal and one business) do they each have an IP address, or is an IP address specific only to computers (where both email address have the same IP address). How do these IP thingy's work?? mk_single......I don't quite understand, so when I send a business email and the person checks the IP address does it come up the same as when they check my personal email to them's IP address?? Can they tell I am sending both from the same computer. I would like to do a lot of my work at home but don't want anyone to know that I am at home working.

- IP or Internet Protocol address is a unique identification number assigned to a computer connected to the international network or Internet at a given instance in time. Besides, all email address have a server and username and password to access the your emails on the server.
- IP addresses also know as Internet Protocols are akin to street addresses. They provide a source and destination as well as a details such as country, city, suburb, address in broad terms in reference to street addresses. IP address can be internal or external. An internal IP address is one that resides within your own network and an external IP address is exposed to the rest of the world so they know where to find you. For example your external IP address would be that of the ISP assuming it is dynamic in nature (keeps changing every time you connect in broad terms). Your email address would not have an IP address. It would have a domain e.g myname@sample.com where sample.com is the domain. The domain would have a corresponding IP address which could be that of your ISP's or the company hosting your domain. Depending on how your domain has been setup they can have the same IP address or completely different IP addresses.
- as far as i know you could have 2 separate IPA, one for business, and one for personal, id have to see what type of Internet service you had bought, but are IPAs specifically set to only computers, in the case that you have a STATIC IPA then yes, you can have up to 5 diffrent IPAs, each IPA has a designated 255 ports on the router in which the router is configured to allow 254 computers to use its ports (the routers IPA is then given to you, then you may chose any number from 1.0.0.1 - 1.0.0.254 for any PC that you want to be able to have hooked up to the Internet, its not brainiac work but it is kinda complicated once you get down into the specifics like how to configure a cisco 801, then that's when it gets hard, but that's basically how it works from your house (router) to your computers
