On one computer, I get three different IP addresses from whatismyip.com (one within AOL, one in mozilla and one in Netscape).

If that isn't enough, I get a completely different IP address from netiba and stormpay.

So, how accurate are those sites?

You are on a dynamic IP connection. It will change every time you sign on to the internet.

click on start-->run-->type cmd--->at command prompt type ipconfig. This is one of the most accurate way of determining ur ip address. smile.gif

Nope, I'm not on a dynamic IP connection. I have a broadband/internet connection that never disconnects, and I get all of those "results" at the same time.


Kelvin, thank you SO much! I'm happy to have an accurate answer!

Even though you have a broadband connection doesn't mean you have a static IP address though. Your IP can still change all the time. You can confirm you have a static IP by calling your ISP.

That's static. I have the same thing going on here. AOL, IE and Firefox, all different. THough I don't use IE for anything anymore.

Ipconfig tells you the main IP of your ISP usually.

I think ipconfig tells you the IP address of your own computer.

But usually through the main ISP you're a member of.

The above is the CORRECT ANSWER for those keeping score at home.

Most broadband connections from cable co's and ISP's are not static. If they gave you a truly static IP, you could run your own mailserver, webserver, ftp site from your home and they want you to pay more more more to be able to do that.
