- What Are Private And Public IP Addresses?
- A computer on the Internet is identified by its IP address. In order
to avoid address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with
the Network Information Centre (NIC). Computers on private TCP/IP LANs
however do not need public addresses, since they do not need to be accessed
by the public. For this reason, the NIC has reserved certain addresses
that will never be registered publicly. These are known as private IP
addresses, and are found in the following ranges:
- From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 -
