Answer» Hi there, I hope someone can on this forum can help with this problem. When you have broadband arnt you assigned with one IP address ? I've have tiscali broadband and just this afternoon i have noticed my IP being changed every time i connect to the internet. For eg. My IP could be 88.109.222.38 and then when i DISCONNECT and RECONNECT it will be eg. 88.68.49.7 I have no idea why this is happening and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help.

I hope someone can on this forum can help with this problem.

When you have broadband arnt you assigned with *one* IP address ?
I've have tiscali broadband and just this afternoon i have noticed my IP being changed every time i connect to the internet. For eg. My IP could be 88.109.222.38 and then when i DISCONNECT and RECONNECT it will be eg. 88.68.49.7
I have no idea why this is happening and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help.

The IP for my cable connection used to stay static for long periods. These days it changes more frequently.

If you want to look deeper, open up a command window:

Start > Run > (type) CMD

Then type:

ipconfig /all

Your IP is probably assigned by DHCP. The loan start and end dates are given on the last two lines of output.

This is the Info i get when i do the command ipconfig /all

Host Name: SN039438120552
Primary Dns Suffix:
Node Type: Unknown
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No

--Then theres some info about my Bluetooth dongle--

PPP ADAPTER Tiscali Broadband:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
   Description: WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
   Physical Address: *********
   Dhcp Enabled: No
   IP Address: ***.***.***.***
   Subnet Mask: ***.***.***.***
   Default Gateway: ***.***.***.***
   DNS Servers: ***.***.***.***
   ***.***.***.***

The reason I have placed *'s over parts is because I dont want a mischevous user finding my IP or other sensitive info.According to that, you don't have DHCP enabled. Another system is being used. I can't offer any more because I simply don't know much more about networking.

You said you're using a router? You should have DHCP turned on. The IP from your ISP will be on the Internet side of the router and you will receive a 192.168.*.* IP from the router.
