Hi Carl

I always understand this to mean that their network is running the TCP/IP protocols and not running IPX, DECnet or Appletalk etc.

Best Regards,

Michael

what exactly does ip do here ?

IP (Internet Protocol) is a list of rules of how datagrams (packets) are to be constructed and used. For instance, the rules define addresses (both source and destination), port numbers, other information indicators, maximum size, protocol, etc.
