what does the @ symbol before the IP address mean???

What did you use to get the ip? I mean, did you use software or something.

[dilver]

that is the public ip not the private one . you can find it using ping command

but you do not answer my question with another nontechnical question and plus has nothing to do with the theme .

my question is what does the @ symbol before the IP address mean???

We have absolutely no context with which to answer your question. It could mean anything, it could even mean nothing at all. Why do you think it is important?

Best guess: it means "at". E.g. "program foo is running @ 1.2.3.4".

Typically used to separate the username (and password) part from the address part in a url.
ftp://dilver@98.53.213.43/ or ftp://dilver:dilvers_password@98.53.213.43/

"Best guess: it means "at". E.g. "program foo is running @ 1.2.3.4". "

"at" literally meaning "at"

Example:

UserDude123 @ 192.168.1.23

Translated becomes:

UserDude "at" 192.168.1.23

or

UserDude123 is on the machine with the address 192.168.1.23

The @ symbol is essentially just shorthand for "at", or as JLBorges pointed out; a syntactical symbol with a meaning very analogous to "at" in English.
