Of IP Addresses, Domain Names, and DNS.
by deepsand · about 16 years, 4 months ago
In reply to daptim
1) IP Address is the [u]numeric[/u] address of a [u]physical[/u] device.
2) Domain Name is the [u]alpha-numeric[/u] name of a [u]logical[/u] device.
3) DNS, Domain Name Service, serves to translate between IP Addresses & Domain Names.
By way of analogy, DNS provides the same functions as a forward/reverse lookup telephone directory does for telephone nos. and subscribers’ names.

if you say you’re in networking and administration and you don’t know what dns or an ip address is than you need to do a little homework. GO ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR!

One enterprise’s LAN Admin. is another’s gofer.
I’ve known more than one “official” LAN Admin. who did not know this material!

Internal vs External IP Addresses
by deepsand · about 16 years, 4 months ago
In reply to Thanks
1) External – Assigned by the Host of the Domain
2) Internal – Depending on how LAN & individual machines are configured, assigned either by:
..a) The LAN Administrator; or,
..b) Automatically by DHCP (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol ) -
