i forgot the set rankings but they go from class a to class e i think f and e are for reserved use a is for huge companis and b is for big companies only class c is for normal use.

class a is 1.0.0.0-126.0.0.0
b is 128.0.0.0-191.255.0.0
c is 192.0.0.0-223.255.255.0

In class c, the first 3 numbers (octets) r network id's, which means that they can have a lot of networks. The last number is a host id, which allows so many users on all those networks.

In class b, first 2 octets are network id's, last 2 host id's.

In class a, first octet is network, last 3 r hosts. So you have ALOT of users on a HUGE n/w.

And all port numbers do is allow or deny access to Netbt/Winsock. Such as http (80) SNMP/DNS/FTP

127.0.0.1 is for loopback testing.
