Glossary
IP address
A number that identifies a computer on a TCP/IP network. An IP address is made up of
four numbers separated by decimal points, such as 192.26.4.89. Each individual number
can be between 0 and 255 (with some exceptions, for example, for reserved IP addresses).
local area network (LAN)
A network of computers local to an organization, typically high speed (such as 10 Base-T
Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, and so forth), and typically in close proximity.
