dial up yes it changes, public access they can trace you
because you have to login DOHHH username & password.

Your ISP has your name home address telephone number. Go
ahead do something illegal I dare you.

Hello
Yes that is true.
Your ISP will assign you a temp. IP address from a pool they control each
time you sign in.
Therefore it is not necessary to run a firewall.
As for tracking you down for doing bad things it would take a while longer
but it can be done by tracking the IP address to a certain ISP provider then
narrowing down from there.

"Therefore it is not necessary to run a firewall."

that is not true!
what makes you think that using a dial up will protect
you from anything?
at the very least use the xp firewall.

That is very, very wrong. Having a dynamic IP address offers
absolutely *NO* protection from worms such as Blaster, Welchia, and
Sasser. A firewall is sill essential. Even 3 years ago, back when I
was using a dial-up connection, and getting a different IP each time I
connected, I had to turn off ZoneAlarm's notifications because I was
getting hit by so many random IP scans that the notices became quite
annoying.

Depends on your dial-up service, but for 99.999% of those out there with
dozens to thousands or more in customers, yes. This is because it assigns
you an IP each time you dial in. As a company that provides dial-up
services likely does not have unlimited IPs, they have a set number they
give out (say they have 1000 modems, they likely have 1500-3000 IPs. They
roll those over, round-robin if you will using their DHCP server or RAS
services.)

-if it is true why?

See above..

-if i do bad things on the web, good pps would caught me easily by my
ip, but why if it said that i changes?

Because when you get an IP from your ISP, they log your MAC address, which
is normally unique to your PC. They log everything.

-how can some1 attack me or track me huh?

If you installed a trojan or something inadvertently, if you use messenger
services, if you aren't firewall protected, if you are using a dynamic DNS
service.. etc.

come on full details guys, thanks.

Why don't you google some of the information I just gave you?

Hello
OK
As for the various worms and virus' on the market a firewall would be needed
to a certain extent, I was referring to as far as be hacked into.

-i need to know if its true that when you use dial up connections your ip number changes each time you sign up?

Usually yes

-if it is true why?

Most ISPs have more clients than they have available IP addresses, and
depend on only a proportion being connected at any time, so when you
dial in you are given a new one from the 'pool'. The leading fields
will identify the ISP, and they should have logs that *could* relate an
IP that was in use at any given time with the phone number that dialled
it

I dare you to use proper capitalization and sentence structure,
including full words.
