IP address means internet protocol address which is unique for every PC to connect to any kind of network.

Your PC says " invalid ip address" means the ip address you enterned in your PC is valid for that network or not valid ip address.

You will connect wirelessly to other PC through Network with the help of IP address

Answer 3

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP). Any participating network device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones — must have its own unique address. An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP) for a computer or other network device on the internet. Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.

Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.

An IP address can appear to be shared by multiple client devices either because they are part of a shared hosting web server environment or because a proxy server (e.g. an ISP or anonymizer service) acts as an intermediary agent on behalf of its customers, in which case the real originating IP addresses might be hidden from the server receiving a request. The analogy to telephone systems would be the use of predial numbers (proxy) and extensions (shared).

IP addresses are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. IANA generally assigns super-blocks to Regional Internet Registries, who in turn allocate smaller blocks to Internet Service Providers and enterprises.

Answer 7

An IP- Internet Protocol Address is an unique address assigned to every computer connected to the Internet. This identifies them as a particular identity on the net like your street address identifies where you live. No two computers have the same address.

Do you have an ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) account? You need one to connect to the net. They have an IP stack of addresses that are shared/assigned by their customers when they login and logout. I assume that you are using someone else's computer to connect.

Is your router and your NIC's (Network Interface Card) wireless as well - they all have to be in order to complete the connection to all the computers on your LAN.

Answer 8

Your IP address Identifies YOUR PC to others. 243.463.13 for example

Answer 9

to connect to the other PC run the wireless router CD in the other computer, or in any computer you wish to run in the network it will then be possible to know each wireless IP address for your computers and network devices

Answer 10

My computer does the same. Most annoying. Do as I do, right-click on the two little tvs on the bottom right hand of your computer(they are your internet setting)and a ballon will come up with-disable-status-repair- just click on repair and you will then be connected online.

Answer 11

Go to Start/Run

Then type ipconfig and hit ENTER

What you need to do is disconnect your router and hook your PC directly to your modem.
Then Go into Start/Run

type this: ipconfig /release ENTER
Then type: ipconfig /renew Enter

This will renew your ip address.

I work at Comcast and this happens alot.
