My Ip Address
Posted: 10-02-04 15:59pm

Just a warning to y'all, that soon I will be going "invisible" meaning that himself is installing "internet anonym" - therefore my ip will be randomly bounced around the world.
Just thought I would let y'all know before it happened so you didn't get suspicious Embarassed Laughing

This is probably a stupid question...But your ip changes when you move from computer to computer right?

Yeah, but if I use himselfs computer you would probably see the same ip because we go throught the same router (we are on a lan) but with internet anonym one minute you could appear as a taiwanese and as a finn a second later.
Your real ip remains hidden and you are automatically directed over constantly changing proxy servers.

Yes belinda it will.
Your ip is your internet protocol address - its an id like a house address or phone number which identifies your computer from all the rest.

Really most issues come up when it is many usernames from one ip and not the other way round.

It doesn't change from computer to computer, it changes from connection to connection. If you have like multiple connections to the same server in your house, then it isn't going to be different from computer to computer.

If you have ten computer hooked up to the same server then you will have the same ip address.

If you use a computer with a different server, like at a friend's house, work, etc, your ip will be different.

If you have one computer with "a" internet provider and one with "b' internet provider the ip's will be different.

Or the same internet provider, but different accounts....Ips would be different.

The ip address is assigned to the device connected to the net, and that's not always a computer. In kia's case, its a router or a switch. The ip address you see actually comes from her router, because her computer isn't directly connected to the net, its directly connected to the router, which in turn is directly connected to the net. So your computer at home and work would have diff ip addresses, but mine and michael's computer would show up as the same ip address, since my computer talks to the net through his computer, not directly itself.

Or like this:
if you have one big house everyone in it will have the same postal address (gateway/frontdoor), but if you live in a tower block of flats (so its like the same building) but everyone has a different postal address(gateway/frontdoor).

Or did I just confuse that even more Rolling Eyes
