Public IP Address and Private IP

IP addresses are used to identify computers in a network. Private IP addresses, like 192.168.0.*, are used within a local network and connected to the internet via a router's public IP address. Users can determine their private IP address through commands like ipconfig for Windows or ifconfig for Linux in a terminal.

Public IP Address and Private IP

IP address (Internet Protocol) is a numerical identification to detect your computer in a network. It is


used to communicate between nodes in a computer network.
When you connect to the Internet through an ADSL modem, it has two network interfaces:

A private interface, used to network computers connected to the router; their IP address is
typically in the range 192.168.0.* or 192.168.1.*, the router will connect to the gateway with an IP
address in the range of 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. A command via the computer will allow you
to determine the private IP address that has been assigned to your router.

Otherwise, simply log onto specialized sites to access this particular information.
