Primarygun Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I don't know why my computer has two different ips. When I check my ip in the control panel, I see one. When I browse http://www.ipchicken.com/ , there's another one for me. What's the matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Are you using a router or anything similar? If so, the ip you get in ipconfig or in control panel would be the internal network address (address for your computer within the network behind the router) and the address you get from ipchicken would be your external ip address (of the router) which is then used on the internet (and data can be routed from that address to the various internal ip address depending on port used etc etc. If not, try looking at http://www.whatismyip.com. See what that tells you. I have just used IP Chicken and it doesn't work correctly. It displays the IP address of one of the routing stations/ proxies from my service provider instead of my true ip address. That could be the problem.

Primarygun Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 It shows the identical one to the chicken's. I guess this problem is stopping me from building up my own web site with my own computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Where exactly are you looking for this address? (ie exactly where on control panel, network connections etc?) Also, since you didnt mention it after i said, i'm assuming you dont have a router or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
