Network Basics NETWORKS Addresses Each device on the network has a unique address. This allows you to communicate with a specific computer (or other device, such as a printer). That way, your email doesn't go to everybody, and your print job doesn't get printed simultaneously on all printers on the network. There are several addressing schemes for networks. Of these, the most popular is that of the Internet Protocol (IP). In addition to being used on the Internet, IP addressing can also be used for standalone networks that don't connect to the Internet. The network addresses shown in the illustration are sample IP addresses. Other network addressing schemes you may encounter include IPX (used with Novell NetWare networks), DLC, and AppleTalk. In this tutorial, we limit our discussion of network addressing to IP file:///C|/Bottlecap_Structure_26--TestMerge/DOCS/EN/NETBASIC/FNW0050.HTM (1 of 2) [5/20/2003 3:44:31 PM]

Network Basics
NETWORKS
Addresses
Each device on the
network has a unique
address. This allows you
to communicate with a
specific computer (or
other device, such as a
printer). That way, your e-
mail doesn't go to
everybody, and your print
job doesn't get printed
simultaneously on all
printers on the network.
There are several
addressing schemes for
networks. Of these, the
most popular is that of the
Internet Protocol (IP). In
addition to being used on
the Internet, IP
addressing can also be
used for standalone
networks that don't
connect to the Internet.
The network addresses
shown in the illustration
are sample IP addresses.
Other network addressing
schemes you may
encounter include IPX
(used with Novell
NetWare networks), DLC,
and AppleTalk. In this
tutorial, we limit our
discussion of network
addressing to IP
