GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 These are some things im curious about.Can a forum block an IP that uses masks or a proxy connection and could somebody explain how masks, private IPs and IP classes work?Might not seem important but it is to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 a forum can block an i.p. yes. if you are connecting to the site from a college or somewhere that is on a network there will be a 'gateway' which means all the computers on the network have their own i.p. address but only 1 is shown to the world wide web.a subnet mask works by masking your i.p. alowwing you to have your own mini world wide web. so on the network you can have loads of components (255.255.255.255.255 i think thats the maximum) where as a computer on your network may have 1 i.p. address it connects to the internet via your main i.p. adress hope that helps (i'm studying national diploma in ICT)SS.
