What does MSN IP mean?

Answer 1

MSN is different than e-mail, which is why it is "instant." When an MSN account signs on, it is linked to the MSN server, and with regular emailing, you send from your computer to another. However, with MSN, you send via the MSN server. You are given an 'MSN IP" so you can be selected. Each individual MSN account has its own IP. When you add a contact, their MSN IP is sent to your computer, and when you send a message it goes through the MSN server, and the MSN IP of the recipient is selected and your message delivered. With normal emailing, your message travels through cyberspace for a short time "looking" for the correct email, while MSN goes through the server and the population of places to search is narrowed down extremely and allows for faster travel.
