Each computer connected to the Internet has an IP Address...it is basically the identifier of your computer on the network. It can get more difficult when discussing subdomains....for instance, every computer at my work broadcasts the same IP after going through our firewalls. But basically, your IP is the path to your computer in the same way that your street address can identify your house.
