iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 6, 2005 when you bought a domain name, you'll be give username and password to access the control of your domain. then you must point out the name of your name servers which holds the DNS record. parking domain is just like adding a DNS record, but you got no authority of if.

For practical reasons, this allocation is delegated to 4 regional bodies:   APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) - Asia/Pacific Region  ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) - North America and Sub-Sahara Africa  [url=http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (Regional Latin-American and Caribbean IP Address Registry) – Latin America and some Caribbean Islands  [url=http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ NCC (Réseaux IP Européens) - Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and African countries located north of the equator  These regional bodies decides which companies can assign new IP-addresses, and it is those companies you have to buy from. You can assign IP-addresses yourself on a lan. But you have to use the number-groups set aside for this purpose. There are a few but the most widely used is the 192.168.xxx.xx range.  Your own computer, even if it is not on a network, also has an IP-address. It's either 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
