What is an IP Address

An IP Address is a bunch of numbers that look similar to this: 124.136.56.164. IP Addresses are used to connect computers to each other. This IP Address is assigned by your ISP when you are connected to the Internet. Their is also another IP Address that usually starts with: 192.168. and will look like 192.168.0.165. This number is for your home or local network computers to talk to each other.

What is the difference between a static and dynamic IP address?

The simple answer is yes. But to get it can be quite difficult. For those who are unaware of what an IP Address is, you can read an the Introduction to an IP address post.

If someone wants to find out where you live, they will need to know your IP address to start off with and the date and time you accessed something. Every time you visit a website, the chances are high of them recording your IP address. Although some sites do not, but only record your IP address if you sign up to something, login to a site or purchase something only.

The recovery (D:) drive on your computer is a partitioned hard drive done by your computer manufacturing to simple restore your computer to its factory settings as it came when your first received your computer.

You should not touch, or alter any files or folders in this partition as it may corrupt the files making it in possible to reset your computer. If you do corrupt the files, you may void your warranty.

I need more space, can I delete the files?

No! You may burn the files to a disk for backup just in case, but you should never delete or rename any of these files.

My computer doesn’t work. Now what?

Simple answer is because your computer does not have the font you are trying to view installed.

That is right. Your computer has fonts installed, and you if you don’t have the font installed, your computer may be able to translate it into a different font, or it will be viewed as all those funny circles, squares, test etc. You are then required to install fonts if your computer does not have them.

Try visiting to http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ to download some fonts.

You may have come across the words "Apply" and "Ok" on your computer in some point, but you may not know what is the difference is.

When you click apply, the changes that you have made will be applied or saved, but the window or dialogue box which is open will not close. This allows you to make further changes if necessary, or temporally see changes such as your desktop wallpaper.

On the other hand, when you click Ok, the changes will be saved and the window or dialogue box will close.

So clicking apply and ok do different things such as keep the window open or closes it, but in the end it still saves changes that you make.
