Ships leave and enter a country via a port. Data leaves and enters your computer via port. This can be to you printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse, over the Internet.Ports are usually monitored by a firewall that can have them open,closed or stealth. The IP Internet protocol is sort of the address of your connection on the net - public address - you can have private Ip's on a network too. RIPE ip's tend to be 84.13.**.** . the first two sets of digits shows that it's a European IP. often after the IP you will see a : followed by a port number that you are connecting through - especially using ftp or telnet. Try going to accessories, then the command prompt and type the command Tracert followed by a URL. For example Tracert www.google.com. Telnet help on the command line should connect you to help through port 23. Again type that on the command line.

It is a kind of virtual address a computer uses to forward and accept information. Most programs will send information in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port, which is the IP address of the machine in question and the port is the particular address a certain service will be recieving on.
