[WEB4LIB] Domain numbers

[Hetherington Information Services]

Hi.

The last section of a "dotted quad"   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has no special
designation unless that number has 
						  ^^^^
been specifically assigned to a machine (static IP number) thereby
identifying it as the same machine every time.  Otherwise it's usually
dynamically assigned to the modem when it makes it's connection.

The numbers that carry meaning are the first three set in the dotted quad.
Generally those are handed out by class license.  

I'm running off to work so I can't get into serious details, however if you
look up IP addressing in any Networking dictionary it should be pretty
straight forward.

Hope that helps.
