Are you using AOL as ISP?
Your dynamic IPS change continuously. That's why they're different all the
time.

It has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Which, if you are behind a router/NAT device, will not likely help
you.

You are using America Online.

If you are dial-up.. (are you?) your IP is likely to change for EVERY
connection you make. It will not be consistent between connections.

If you are not dial-up - it is still possible for your IP to change - with a
rate determined by your ISP and/or how often and for how long you turn off
your machine.

ipconfig --- Gives you you local (home/personal) network ip address.

Appending the "All" switch to the "IPCONFIG" command
(e.g. IPCONFIG /ALL )
will return both one's 'Connection-specific DNS Suffix' (e.g. ISP Domain
Name Server),
and the address of that DNS Server, even when one is behind a router.

I am using AOL dial up. Now, when I go on the internet and ask: "What is my
IP Address"? I get the following: (from the sites I have visited):
152.163.100 and the last digits change, sometimes 3 and sometimes 2, but all
sites say 152.163.100...etc/yet my system says my address is:
172.145.180.86, is this a local thing? Also, should I be giving this info
out over the internet?
Thanks, Steve

Your current IP address (from the header of your post): 152.163.100.141
It's already available all over the internet ;-)

You are already giving it out whether you intended to or not.... It's in the

Thank you Og, and thank you all.
Question: can someone/anyone block "your" (anyones) IP address, and if so,
how is this done? Is this what anti-virus/spyware/adware programs do? Do
they compile a list of IP addresses and block them from "getting" to your/
a persons/orgainizations computer(s)?

How about you tell us what you *really* want to know instead of hinting
at it?

Specifically, it is possibly for someone to configure a firewall/router
to refuse traffic from your IP address. However that will only affect
traffic to or from your IP address that passes through the
router/firewall in question.

In other words if your IP address is A and someone else's is B, then the
traffic can only be blocked by a firewall/router somewhere directly
between A and B. Usually close to A or close to B.

In addition, some traffic may be allowed and some refused, depending on
the service (mail, web browsing, ftp) that is being used.

But as I said, indication of what your problem really is would help.

Cheers,

Cliff

To know your system ip address follow these steps:
Start--->run-->Type cmd
Then command prompt will display.
tye ipconfig
then it will display your system ip address

To find your Network IP address then visit <removed> here it
display Internet service provider, IP address, location, Longitude, latitude
and so on.


Replying to a post from "mavic517 wrote on 03/20/2007"

Surely the OP found his/her IP long ago and the OP may have two IP addresses, the LAN
address behind a NAT Router and a WAN address by the ISP.
