server vs workstation
workstation ip addresses vs website ip addresses?
i was curious about the difference between the 2. so the website ip address is the address of that websites server? and your own computer is your own computer. what would i have to do on my own computer to have someone pop in my ip address on their computer and have a website come up. im not quite understanding the difference between you computers ip address and a website (their server) ip address or how that works with http
The only difference is that the website you're visiting has an HTTP server running on it that accepts incoming communications. Without a web server your computer can't respond to incoming requests for web pages and therefore doesn't do anything.
You might also be behind a router which uses your public IP address for itself and gives you a private IP instead. This makes you safer from network based attack directed at you, since all they can see directly is your router, but it means that anyone typing in your public IP address would get your router instead of your computer. In that case you'd have to set up what's called port-forwarding to get web page requests passed along to your computer.
