Asus GigaX manual 128, IP address

IP address	Internet Protocol address
	The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of
	four numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g.,
	209.191.4.240. An IP address consists of a network ID that
	identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and a host ID
	uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A network
	mask is used to define the network ID and the host ID. Because
	IP addresses are difficult to remember, they usually have an
	associated domain name that can be specified instead. See also
	domain name, network mask.
ISP	Internet Service Provider
	A company that provides Internet access to its customers,
	usually for a fee.
LAN	Local Area Network
	A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a home,
	office, or small building.
LED	Light Emitting Diode
	An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights on the
	front of the SL-1000 are LEDs.
MAC address	Media Access Control address
	The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned by its
	manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as six pairs of
	characters.
mask	See network mask.
