IP address?
I do not understand IP addresses at all. What are they for? How can you track someone through them? I know everyone has one and they are used for internet purposes. I just don't know what purposes or why someone would want to know someone else's. This all arose when I saw something that said when you go in the advicenators chatroom (I believe using the CGI thing) everyone can see it. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad. So can someone please explain to me what this is for?

The IP (Or Internet Protocol) is like your address on the internet.. its the point of origin.. its how other computers find your computer... its like the street adress of your house.. its like.. if you dont have an IP your house doesnt have a driveway.. so you cant get into it.. figureativly speaking.. so if someone asks for your IP "DONT" tell them.. it can be used for hacking purposes as it gives them direct access to your computer through a program which shall remain nameless.. hope that helps!
