Internet Addresses
*E-mail addresses are made up
of two parts separated by an
at(@) sign:
§User name@host name
§Example: johnsmith@mindspring.com
*The host is named using DNS (domain name system), which translates IP addresses into a string of names.
*
“Each person on the “Internet” has a unique e-mail “address” created by having a squirrel run across a computer keyboard.”
Dave Barry
