   The IP address (Internet Protocol)is a logical address assigned to devices participating in a computer network like your home network or the internet.
   
   Anything that connects to your home network (LAN) has one; Computers, Printers etc. And so does the device that connects to the internet (Cable Modem, DSL Modem, Clearwire Modem etc.)
   
   I've included a link that does a pretty good job of describing the types of ip addresses and where they are found in the resources section below.
