IP Address - The Internet is a collection of networks with users that
communicate with each other. Each communication carries the address
(IP address) of the source and destination networks and the particular
machine within the network associated with the user or host computer at
each end. Each node on the IP network must be assigned a unique IP
address that is made up of a network identifier and a host identifier.
Enter the IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value
of each octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27.
