TCP/IP:
Plz in order to understand completely, do not skip any part and read in the same manner.
IP Address -
32 bit address used to uniquely identify a TCP/IP host. The address
has two parts. The network ID and the host ID. The network ID
identifies all hosts that are on the same logical network. The host ID
identifies the host. Hosts can be workstations, Servers, Routers, ex..
A sample IP address is 209.124.223.67
Lets compare this to the Calendar. We have 12 Networks:
January, February, March.... On each Network, we have hosts: 1,2,3,4...
January 1 and January 14 are unique hosts on the same network.
March 4 and June 17 are on different networks.
Example:
209.124.223.67
| | | |
| | | |-->(4th octet,8-bits,Ranges from 0 to 255) | | |-------->(3rd octet,8-bits,Ranges from 0 to 255) | |------------>(2nd octet,8-bits,Ranges from 0 to 255) |---------------->(1st octet,8-bits,Ranges from 0 to 255)
Total bits = 8bit+8bit+8bit+8bit=32bits.
Tools for finding IP address :
Basically you do not need any tools, command prompt is sufficient. But still if you don't want to use command prompt there are tools.
- X-Netstat - It's a program that gets the ips ports and host names of any ip thats connected to your ip.
- Whois - This is a program that tells you the ips isp and tells the address of the isp.
By using Command Prompt : Another way is by using the command NETSTAT -N in the command prompt. Type the command in the netstat and it will show you the all the ip's connected to your ip.
If you don't know how to get to command prompt see the previous page.
Netstat -n : Type netstat - n in the command prompt. Make sure you are connected.
Your
Command Prompts Screen Should Look Similar To This:
