Message: [QUOTE="Dotde, post: 638214, member: 24150"] A computer's IP will almost always be 192.168.0.x Click on Start>>Run and type in "cmd". On the black screen that follows type in "ipconfig /all" and look what comes up. Notice the "IP Address..........192.168.0.x" line. That is this particular computers network IP. Now you can go out to [url=http://www.whatismyip.com]WhatIsMyIP.com[/url] and see what it says there. You will get something different. The IP that shows up on the site is the IP your computer uses to connect to the internet, which is handed out by your ISP. In your ipconfig /all thing, you will also probably notice, "Dhcp enabled.......yes" This means that every time you connect to your DHCP, you'll get a different IP. There's also an option in your LAN/Network Connections area of your Control Panel that gives you the option to dynamically obtain an IP from your DHCP, which results in the same effect-a different IP. Every computer in your network will have a different IP it uses to connect to the internet, that's how DHCP works. You will also notice "Physical Address.........." with six sets of two characters (number/letters). This physical address is unique; no other computer in the world will have that same physical address. So in effect, using that to try to locate multi-account users is worthless. Besides the fact that there's an option in your Router settings to block the view of your physical/MAC address. And the whole point of proxies is to mask your IP. With the thousands of people that use any given proxy, it is nearly impossible to find out exactly who is who, even if they could find out what the incoming IP was. Case in point: IPs these days are basically only good for networking and file sharing. There is just too many ways to get around IP blocks and stuff. Feel free to correct any part of this, and don't hesitate to disagree. I have enough humility to admit when I'm wrong, even if it takes a little persuasion. =Þ [/QUOTE]
