TCP/IP
and stacks, what are they?
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol. Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in
the early 1970's to connect UNIX computers together, TCP/IP was
designed to provide alternative communications in case of
emergencies. TCP/IP is a standard set of mathematical functions in
connectivity software, also called stacks; it is the language that
computers on the Internet use to communicate.
What does
DNS mean? Where are
the options in Win95/98?
DNS or Domain Name System, presents friendly names for
computer addresses that people can read and remember, and then
resolves them to IP addresses (numbers) for computers to use over
the Internet and within networks. So instead of an IP address such
as 204.34.174.78, you see a memorable domain name such as
broccoli.com in a browser address or location field, such at the top
in Netscape's Navigator or Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
