what is the diffrence between URL and IP address.......?

Answer 1

url is in the form of words like www.yahoo.com
IP address is in the form of numbers like 192.24.46.126

Answer 2

Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.
The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, and the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

ftp://www.pcwebopedia.com/stuff.exe
http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html

An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.

hope this helps

Answer 3

An IP address identifies a computer or other device to a network. The basic concept is simple: every device on a network needs to have its own address. that way, data is sent to the right place. There are IP addresses are used by the whole Internet, and others, only used by locally, for example in your home. What's the Difference Between a Static and a Dynamic IP Address? The IP address from your ISP is assigned one of two ways: ** Set to an IP address which is unchanged for months or years at a time. This is a static IP address. ** Set to an IP which is only good for a limited time, and which is changed according to the policy set by your ISP's DHCP server. This is a dynamic IP address. Because a static IP can be relied on for an indefinite period, some networking software requires a static IP. ISPs usually charge extra for static IPs. Your ISP may not be willing to give their customers static IP addresses at all. Dynamic IPs are used in large networks where computers are frequently reconfigured, or where a limited number of IP address are available to share between many computers.
