An IP address looks something like this: 74.125.19.147. An IP address is a series of numbers that specifies where a particular computer or mobile device is on the Internet. It’s a bit like mom’s phone number: just as the phone number tells an operator which house to route a call to so it reaches your mom, an IP address tells your computer how to get in touch with another computer on the Internet.
Anwani ya IP inafanana na kitu kama hiki: 74.125.19.147. Anwani ya IP ni mfululizo wa nambari zinazoonyesha bayana kompyuta au kifaa cha mkononi kilipo kwenye Intaneti. Inafanana kidogo na nambari ya simu ya mama: kama tu nambari ya simu inavyomwonyesha mwendeshaji ni nyumba ipi aelekeze simu ili imfikie mama yako, anwani ya IP inaiambia kompyuta jinsi ya kuwasiliana na kompyuta nyingine kwenye Intaneti.
