xxx.yyy.com (or 123.123.23.12)-- this is the
host name (or IP address) associated with the
requester (you as the visitor). In this case,
(....com) the requester is coming from a
commercial address. Depending on the requester’s
method of network connection, the host name (or
IP address) may or may not identify a specific
computer. Connections via many Internet Service
Providers assign different IP addresses for each
session, so the host name identifies only the
ISP. The host name (or IP address) will identify
a specific computer if that computer has a fixed
IP address.
