IP Address

Each router have a different IP Adress. You can check your IP here:

yes, you can change your IP only if it's dynamic by unpluging the wire, waiting 10 seconds and repluging it.
If your IP is not dynamic, you can call the company and ask for an IP change. -
I'm sharing internet with both computers. Is it still not gonna be the same?No. An IP adress is where data is sent. So they can't be the same
There are ways of changing it, but I ain't saying.
(We use the same router)
I used a site like that, in fact probably that, and it showed the same IP address on my PC and Laptop...'El wrote:[te;2302882']Each router have a different IP Adress. You can check your IP here:

Not sure if my laptop is "dynamic", don't even know what you mean by that. -
The way it works is that your router gets an IP address from your ISP, so it will always show that address to the outside world. Meanwhile, your router assigns a private IP address to devices attached to it. These addresses would be unique for each network device, and would not normally be seen by anyone outside of the network.
To see your internal IP address, just go to start->run->cmd->ipconfig. -

How can i change just my Laptops IP address?
( And if i had a wireless connection for my laptop, would that be a totally different story? Explain please.) -

Either way that don't matter, an IP adress is a computer generated code, not router.(router has its own IP) If the PC's had the same IP that means that the data would be sent to both computers.
Data coming in > Modem (Has an IP, so the data knows where it has to be sent) > Router (Has an IP, so it knows where to be provided) > Computer (Has an IP, So the data knows which route to take) so to say the least, everything has an IP or else it would be sent to multiple computers, even computers that didn't request that data. -
They should have different addresses (if they are both on and received the same address, you would get a message about the IP address conflict). Wireless would come from the same internal IP pool of addresses in most household implementations. But you'd still get a different one.OrangeUglade wrote: »How can i change just my Laptops IP address?

Most household routers use DHCP to assign IP addresses to PCs. You usually don't set your own IP address. From the sounds of it, you are probably using DHCP on your PCs and getting an IP from the router. -

you can't unless you have a connection for your PC and a different one for your laptop. review my other post you quoted to learn to change your IP. -
Naa unless you use the same Cable.. i think
No. That's where the computer IP comes in, if you manage to use the same cable split by 2 PC's the IP adress that requested that information will get it. It's like an adress. same house, 2 people. where do you send it to? the name (Computer IP adress) the mail box (Router) the modem (the house)They should have different addresses (if they are both on and received the same address, you would get a message about the IP address conflict).

You probaly will receive an error message. If you're using wireless you have a VERY VERY VERY slim chance of receiving some 1 else data. Very rare chance like 1:10,000,000 -
That's the thing, will the website administer or mod know its me by the internal I.P.? That's all i really want really. I don't want them to know i made multiple accounts and I'm ****ying around their site farming and ****.The way it works is that your router gets an IP address from your ISP, so it will always show that address to the outside world.

They will see your personal device IP but the first few digits are linked to the router, because of that they can still tell who you are. To get a NEW internal IP you would have to call your Internet provider and request a new IP -

The outside world won't see your internal IP address. They will only see what the router tells them. Routers use NAT to tie your internal IP to the external to keep the packets going to the proper devices. They do not broadcast your address as a measure of security.OrangeUglade wrote: »That's the thing, will the website administer or mod know its me by the internal I.P.?

Not really.
you've got ONE IP assigned to you by your ISP (unless you pay for more than one and have multiple modems) , that's the IP all of the data that reaches your network is sent to.
Modem picks it up and passes it on to the router who then distributes it to the different PCs by using their locally assigned IP adress, these are not the adresses where the data you gather over the internet is sent to, they're only visible to whoever is in your network.. -

Yep! to put it all together;
your router gets an IP from your ISP (Internet provider) The PC get's an IP upon start up from the router, for EXAMPLE! your route gets an IP named 192.168 when your PC boots up you get the last digits, 192.168.0.1, the reason you get to keep the first numbers is because that's where it's linked to. when you change you PC IP all you're changing is the 0.1 and that's how people know it's you. Without calling your ISP you still have the 192.168 in your IP giving it away
Let's say my IP (full) is 192.168.0.1 I change it to...
192.168.9.2 They can still tell its you because of the beginning numbers, without calling your ISP and having it reset, your IP will always be noticed.
Now about IP's that don't change (I think its called a static IP) the last digits 0.1 will never change, even upon boot. This is great for servers like crossfire, if they didn't have a static IP we would have to manually get the IP and connect that way, then we need the IP for Alpha, Bravo etc etc. Or for vent, if you turn your server off with no static IP it will change and people can't connect unless they have the new IP as where a static IP never changes. Most places make you pay for a static IP. -
So, if i get a new internal I.P. on my laptop, they wont know its me for sure?They will see your personal device IP but the first few digits are linked to the router, because of that they can still tell who you are. To get a NEW internal IP you would have to call your Internet provider and request a new IP
Could i request a new I.P. change other than making a phone call? website maybe? (As long as that change effects my laptop and not the PC too) -

If you only want the laptop to have a new IP then idk, you will have to call. not a websiteLiqweedate wrote: »Not really.

That's what I'm saying. It's a local IP where only your network sees. Not every one. to change THAT just restart your PC
Right now my modem has a static IP (It's satellite) so instead of having to connect to a satellite every time I still have the exact same IP. -

I don't understand, why didn't you use a Metaphor like FIREAGLE did?XD I have no idea what you said besides the part about the modems.
I still have my old modems, can i use those? ...somehow? -

Okay here, I'll say it ALOT simpler
You get 1 IP from your ISP, That counts for the router and modem. Your PC upon boot creates a LOCAL IP (Not visible on the internet) JUST YOUR LOCAL NETWORK (Router) When data is recieved it is transfered to the IP your ISP gives you (Router) from there it finds your local IP (Computer) and tranfers data there
Say the IP for the router is 192.168.0.1 (Static wont change, anyways:) your PC finds that IP and connects to it. so your IP would be SOMETHING like 192.168 blank dot blank THAT IP is visible to the Router ONLY (Thats the local network)
Data > Modem > Local network (router, which IP is assigned from the ISP) > Your IP (PC which can only be seen on the local network) -

So, there's nothing i can do? Hell i got spare routers in my basement, do i just mix and match lol?Okay I was wrong about something, your PC don't optain an IP from internet. it makes it's own based on the router IP your IP is a local IP thus they can't see it, Just your router. Changing your IP just changes a few numbers, not all.
Thx dude. You've been a good help too! Any more help on chis issue would be appreciated.'El wrote:[te;2302961']FIREAGLE don't post if you got false info. This dude needs to understand true things. -

Either way, what liqweedate said, can't be changed seperately. But if your looking for a new un-noticable IP request a new IP from your ISP

Changing a router won't do a thing. It will do as much as restarting the router.
