I do apologize for that, I didn't realize that you were that new to network
computing.
Your best bet is to pick up a beginners book on TCP/IP, and one on basic
networking. Ziff Davis Publishing has some nice ones or, and please don't
take
this the wrong way, the "For Dummy's" series is also quite nice.
I used the "TCP/IP for Dummies" book to help me write a mid-term paper in
college, it got me an "A". After reading the books my explanation will
clear up somewhat I hope. If not, I will be glad to try and explain it
better.

Again, I am sorry, and will try to keep your newness to computing in mind
if I get the opportunity to answer further questions.
