Code:
$ grep http /etc/services
http               80/tcp    www www-http           #World Wide Web
https             443/tcp    MCom
https             443/udp    MCom

i see... 32 bit is for ip , and 16 bit is for port. one quicky question: ip address consists of 2 parts, one is network address, the other is host address. since unix.com is at 81.17.242.186, what is its network as well as its host address ? Smilie
