Age of routers

January 30th, 2010

Router is almost a common word in our day by day life. It is like fridge for example. Do you have a fridge at your home ? No! Oh..you must have problems with your food.. Do you have a router at your home ? No! You must have problems with internet connection.

That is very true, let's say you have an internet connection and you get it either using a modem, either you have an UTP cable coming from your ISP that you have to put into your ethernet adapter. Either way, they work with only one computer. How many computers do you have in your house ? Just 1 ? I doubt it. Your son has his own computer, your wife, your mother. Nowadays a router is almost indispensable. Read the rest of this entry »

They can find my Street and Name if they Know my IP Address ?

January 23rd, 2010

The IP address is an unique indentifier assigned to each computer in a network. That is the definition of the IP address, probably you know this. Many questions raise from this sentence and you put yourself those questions many times: "How they can know where i am from?", "IF they have my IP address they can find out my street address", "They can find my name based on my IP address", "They can get into my computer using my IP address", "Why the IP address those websites show me is not the IP address that i got from my ISP" and many more questions regarding IP addresses.

Maybe when internet was explained to you for the first time you have seen a image with a cloud and everything connected to it. That image is logical and that is probably the right way to think the internet but in reality, the internet looks more like the image above. Read the rest of this entry »
