simple networking question

Name: Dash 2007-06-21 15:57 ID:64mmi7Zu

Does a prefix in a URL (ie. "<i>irc</i>.4chan.org" pr "<i>forum</i>) mean that you are connecting through a different port? if not how does it work?

The "prefix" is usually the hostname. It usually identifies a specific server. I say usually because it really all depends on how the sysadmin has DNS set up for the specific domain.

It's a *subdomain*, fool. But, yes, it's dependent on DNS setup and other shit.

It's the subdomain, but in a traditional network configuration each subdomain is a hostname.
