IP Address

[Lesley]

Your IP Address is not the same as your e-mail Address

Your IP Address is ascribed to your Computer when you
Connect to the Internet - it uniquely identifies the
Computer - not you as a person

Our IP Addresses are normally 'visible' on the Web and
there are ways of hiding it but I'll leave that for
someone else as I don't know about it
