Your computer has an IP address when connected to the Internet. When you use a modem and dial up, you are provided with an IP address. This IP address is normally dynamic which means it changes each time you dial up. The same can be true for ADSL. There is a log in procedure and you are then connected. It is optional that you can connect forever. If your ISP provides a fixed IP address then you can run servers on your machine, and people can access it. This means you can have email actively delivered instead of collected periodically by POP3. You can run web and games servers.
