An IP address (commonly known as an "IP") is a number which identifies a computer on the Internet. It is given to a computer upon accessing the Internet or a LAN.
IP addresses may be either static or dynamic. Static IP addresses do not change, while dynamic IP addresses do. If a computer's dynamic IP address expires, the computer is assigned a new one.
