Hey guys

I think I have a problem with my IP address...

My computer says I have the IP address ???.???.?.? but when I was saving my IP address in my database it looked different. Also on internet sites I seems to have ???.???.?.?... How is this possible?

Is it possible that there is a problem with the PHP syntax $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']? Because I guess that will be used for those "Show my IP"-sites

If anyone has a solution, please reply!

That is the IP of your router, which gives each computer a specific IP (which is not your IP). When you look at your IP from your computer, you see the IP that the router gave you.

However, when you look the IP from the net, you see your real IP of your router (or internet connection).

OK thanks Legace

To be honest I already thought something like that but I didn't understand why Microsoft didn't call it Router IP address or something because everybody would then understand what it means...

Anyway: Thanks Legace!

Glad it helped

Hum, *NEVER* give your ip address like that ! I can do *Anything* With your computer or even others, so be careful for the next time

Oke

I will edit it now

We`re all nice guys  

And with a DSL-Flatrate usualy your IP change every time when you`re online

I didn't mean that we were bad guys, no not at all, but i'm just telling you that it's dangerous

I know of course!

Which is very nice! I appreciat that

My IP doesn't change

I signed up for a forum recently that someone keeps threatening me about my IP even though I use a proxy everytime I log on there.
I have my own too, but for safety I set it to hide all to make sure everyone was safe, even from Hackers, the only time I see them is in the Admin CP.

Should I block him, or just ignore him.

With a proxy you should be save  

Do you use any hardware/software-firewall ?

I would say ignore him

I know, but I worry.

Yeah, I have a firefox add-on designed by a buddy of mine (Well, My Dad's) and it works whenever Norton is running in the background, else it will block all sites with Norton's filter.

Okay, thanks.

Cradle, if router has good protection, you can do NOTHING with his computer.
My D-Link router has excellent firewall and it blocks remote connections, so I doubt you can do anything with my computer

Hacking is not that simple.

You think so ?:tongue:

Yes, I do?

sosoe222 is a hacker

That doesn't make much sense, does it?

Why not?

Well, what do you mean by me being a hacker?

Only the "msn hack" thing

That's not hacking...
It's customizing... things

Everyone with a bit of JavaScript knowledge can do it

yes.. I agree
