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

Yes I does

Ok well I have 2 then because I constantly change back and forth from my room to the den! Just letting ya'll know!

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.

Hows that possible? I hear y atalk about ip's but I dont even know what it is but if it changes from comp to comp mine changes to from work to home

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.

O oh ok I get it now I feel so dumb sometimes lol but I guess its better to know than not to lol

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.

Yeah, so if I use himself's comp or mine because we are on a lan you will see the same ip for us because we go throught the same router

Ok im confussed again. So if I go home and use my comp and then come here and use this comp it wouldnt change? Only if I had 2 comp at my house or used a diffrent one here?


Sorry I know im complicated but its better to know than to be confussed. Lol sorry girls ya r gona have t odeal with dumb me. Lol :d

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

O ok I got u thanks

Kia that was a very good way to explain it! =)
