| 308620 | 2004-12-29 09:39:00 | How do I find out what my IP address is? I've tried whatismyip.com, which gives me one number, and my modem gives two different numbers. Which of those three numbers is my actual internet IP address (or is there another altogether)? I thought I'd be clever and figure it out by signing up with no-ip.com and checking what they think my IP address is compared with the little utility you can download from them to auto-update it every time you log on. However the no-ip.com website and their utility disagreed with each other. Any suggestions? Cheers, Mike. |

| 308621 | 2004-12-29 09:46:00 | www.whatismyip.com will give you your true, external IP address. Your router will tell you this, and also your internal IP address. Which is correct? Depends on the purpose. An internal network related thing will involve your internal IP, which will start in 192.168.x.x, or 10.x.x.x. An internet thing probably has to do with your external IP address, given by your ISP. In most cases in NZ this starts with 222.152.x.x (Jetstream), 60.x.x.x (Orcon bitstream), 202.x.x.x (Most dial-up), or 203.x.x.x (Telstra/Paradise). Note I said in most cases. It really could be many others, but I have covered the majority. Cheers George |

| 308624 | 2004-12-29 09:54:00 | www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com/) will give you your true, external IP address. Your router will tell you this, and also your internal IP address.whatismyip.com and my router did not give the same address. Neither of the addresses my IP gave were internal IPs (my internal IPs start with 10.1) - one started with 202, the other with 203 (my router told me my internal IP address somewhere else in the settings). whatismyip.com gave a 203 as well, but different from the one my router gave me. Make sense? Mike. |

| 308626 | 2004-12-29 10:10:00 | OK Then. http://checkip.dyndns.org/ http://www.whatismyip.com/ http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ www.lawrencegoetz.com Go to those four. Do they all agree? If not, something very strange is at work. You don't happen to have some rotating proxy program running do you!? There should only be ONE external IP address, and both router and websites should agree. What type of connection are you on? |

| 308627 | 2004-12-29 10:19:00 | Could be a transparent proxy on behalf of the ISP. Run: ipconfig /all Post back the results and I'll let you know which line is your _real_ IP address :) Chill. |

| 308628 | 2004-12-29 10:21:00 | Huh? How can ipconfig /all even know the real IP address? Sure doesn't say it for me, I just get my 10.2.0.19 internal one... |
george12 (7) | ||
| 308629 | 2004-12-29 10:23:00 | Well, he starts off saying "Modem" then halfway through says "Router". If its a router, then connect to the routers webmin interface and it'll tell you in there. Chill. |
