everyone connected to the internet has an IP address.
this page gets to you because a message is sent from your IP address, requesting this page. the newstoday server looks through its database and sends this page to you, by telling the next server along to keep passing it till it gets to your IP address.
IP stands for Internet Protocol.
they can't really be borrowed (spoofing is possible, but rare). an ISP will own a range of IP addresses, and on 56k (generally) you'll be assigned one from that range when you connect to the internet. on broadband (generally) you'll have your own assigned IP, that will never change.
what do you want the info for? maybe context would get you some better answers.
