Type the IP into the box on the screen to the left of the 'Do Stuff' button and then press the button...

Ok, so i did a few of the class's at CCNA or whatever it is. I learned alot and i have a question regarding Firefox.

So a port address makes it so you can have 2 different browsers on different sites.

I.E. One on Antionline and another on myspace.com

With firefox you can tab does this mean that it assignes different port address's for every tab?
Can only 1 person on the WWW have that particular port address?
And if you visit the same web page in 2 different tabs

I.E - 2 www.myspace.com's

Does it still have to have different port address's?

the PC will 'bind' one port to one application, in this case it will 'bind' one port to my space, and another to AO.

there are 65 536 ports, 2 to the 16th power, so it is unlikely to run out of options


the reasons for doing this are so that you get replies from AO onto the page you have opened FOR AO

otherwise you would end up with all data coming back to the PC, and all going to the same window, irrespective of content

on another level
I think you have been here before
and are just yanking our chain, so to speak

So, it works for basically organization? It organises where everything is going, and makes sure it doesnt end up in a jumbled mess.


In regards to your other level....nope...never been here before...just started yesterday.

[foxyloxley]

yes, it's the 'traffic cop' of the PC

[Drklabyrinth]

Questions like these suggest that posting answers in this thread will never help you because you don't have a grip on the very basics of how "things" work.

To remedy this, go buy:
1) O'Reilly TCP/IP
2) O'Reilly Network Basics

Read those before you ask more questions like the ones above.

while you are waiting for your books to arrive, or go to the bookstore, Wikipedia has some information for you as well, Drklabyrinth:

Internet Explained

TCP/IP Breakout

Computer Networking - What you wanted to know and NOW!

now i have heard, through the grapevine, that Wikipedia may have some questionable entries, however, it's a start. also found this: Free Computer Books Online
