IP location query, what is my IP address

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numeric identifier assigned to each device on a network. It is similar to a "phone number" and is used to identify and locate devices on a network. IP addresses allow devices to transmit data and communicate with each other. IP addresses can be assigned dynamically (may be different each time you connect) or statically (always remain the same). Knowing your IP address can help diagnose network problems or authenticate users when accessing certain online services.
