Web addresses and URLs5

Each computer on the Internet has an unique identification number, called an IP (Internet Protocol) address.

The IP addressing system currently in use on the Internet uses a four-part number.

Each part of the address is a number ranging from 0 to 255, and each part is separated from the previous part by a period, for example: 106.29.242.17.

Although each computer connected to the Internet has a unique IP address, most Web browsers use domain name addressing to locate Web sites and pages.

Anchor tags hat are used to define hyperlinks8

Text files on Web servers are coded with HTML formatting tags that enable your browser to read text.

The tag that gives HTML its power, however, is the anchor tag.

Each anchor tag used in an HTML document, or Web page, creates a hypertext link or hypermedia link to other HTML documents or to other media.

These links are a different color than other text on the page, and are sometimes underlined. When you click the link, you connect to another Web page.

Use Internet Explorer's Favorites list to store and organize a list of Web pages that you have visited so you can return to them easily.

The Favorites button on the Standard Buttons toolbar opens the Add Favorite dialog box.

Use the Favorites list to open URLs you have stored as favorites.

Create folders to organize your favorites in the way that best suits your needs and working style.

E-mail12

E-mail, or electronic mail, is an efficient way to exchange messages with others on a network.

This network may be small and self-contained, such as within an office, or as large as the Internet.

E-mail messages can go to only one recipient or to dozens of recipients at once.

When you send a message, it travels through the network to an e-mail server.

The e-mail server stores messages until the recipient(s) request them.

How E-mail works13

Email travels via the Internet from one computer to another.

Computers known as mail servers direct outgoing mail and store incoming the mail.

Once email reaches your mail server, it waits in an electronic mail box, the "Inbox” for you to collect it.
