Computer and ip addresses?

each computer has a different IP address, and sometimes 1 computer's IP address will change for various reasons. If you have 2 computers in the same house they will most likely have the same IP address except for the last few digits.

think of it as a number that defines that particular computer so information knows where it is being sent to and from, like your homes address for example. and yes each computer has its own ip address

Every device has it's own unique IP address. IP addresses can change. Type ipconfig to get some IP info.
