| I have not looked at this thread in a while and it's kinda ironic to see this conversation happening under this thread.

| Well, you see, when people are NOT wronged and come here to cry, that is exactly what happens.

| Huh, I thought my address was the same today as it was 11ish years ago.. didn't expect to learn I've been bouncing from address to address for years at a page called yorkietalk! LOL All this moving around is making me dizzy! "What is the Difference Between a Static IP Address and a Dynamic IP Address? In order to understand its importance and the reason for additional costs, we must first understand the difference between a static IP address (always assigned) and a non-static IP address (called dynamic because it changes at timed intervals). IP addresses are 32 bit numbers identifying a computer/networked device on the Internet. They are currently represented in 4 parts with dots between them, such as 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1 as some of you may recognize from setting up a residential router. Those numbers represent the calling card of that computer, similar to that of your cell phone number, a unique address that lets other systems know how to find you. Computers inside your home are most typically using dynamic IPs assigned by your home router, known as private IP addresses, because they are only known to other machines in your own network. Your router also has an dynamic IP address assigned from your Internet provider from its pool of IPs, called public IP addresses, because these addresses can talk to one another all over the world. So your router is connected to your Internet provider which can talk to other public computers/routers. It’s also connected to you personal computer so it can make connections to those public computers. Got it?" Why Should You Pay More for a Static IP Address? |

| Insofar as computers, addresses, et al, I know I've been in at least 35 states---of confusion...! (I crack me up) |

| Actually it makes sense to me. What does not make sense is the person who claims her IP changes to be all over the country. Now...if she is using a proxy, that is a different story....that is probably what she is doing now, thinking she can pull the wool over peoples' eyes.

We started talking about this because someone said their IP changes all of the time and the IP is in different states...highly unlikely but it was just another attempt to try to cover up her identity which at this point is a total waste of her time. When you connect at a wifi hotspot, your IP will be whatever is assigned to them. When you use a work computer, you will have their IP. Some IPs do change (I am talking about each computer...not traveling from place to place)....Internet Service Providers sometimes do that. Those are called dynamic IPs. Static IPs are those that remain constant. You could call your ISP if you really want to know what you have, but honestly it should not affect you at all anyway. The one thing I have seen is on networks such as IRC, whole blocks might be banned because of dynamic IPs because, if a person is a trouble maker, they can just recycle and have a new IP and join. I can look around and see if this is explained better somewhere on the internet....... I have some basic knowledge of it but not in depth knowledge so I may not be explaining it well.
