A: Yes. TCP/IP stands for Transport Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is basically
the protocol or language that
Internet computers use to communicate with each other.
Q: Do I need to know your TCP/IP addresses?
A: No, the Foggy.net server assigns TCP/IP address
automatically.
Q: What is a Web browser?
A: A Web browser is a piece of software that runs on your
computer that allows you to view
documents, called pages or
home pages, located on various computer systems connected to
the Internet. A browser is sort of like a
word processor, like Microsoft Word, in that you use
MS Word to view your own documents. But with
an Internet browser you can view documents
(pages) on other computers.
Q: What is HTML?
A: Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is the language
the Web pages (documents) are
written in.
Q: What is HTTP?
A: Hyper Text Transport Protocol. While HTML is used to
create Web pages, HTTP is used to
transport or ship them to
your computer's browser so that you can view the page. HTTP is
used to prefix a Web server
address so that your computer and browser will know how to
correctly communicate with
the computer that you are connecting to out on the Internet.
Q: Why is HTTP always used before an address, for example
http://www.microsoft.com/?
A: Actually, if you have a recent browser, you can just
type www.microsoft.com and the rest
of the punctuation will be
filled in for you. However, older browsers may not support this.
