I was wondering if all computers on a wireless network (wireless router on main computer), all used the same IP address. For example, in ABing terms, if the main computer had an ABer going, would it be wise to on the other computer on another account? Or would i be completely safe?
the ips are the same. The computers share one connection the router just gives each computer a share of the connection
having said that the ip s are the same which they are through the router. If the program you are using supports proxy server then they can be different Edit: appear to be different.
I thought they would be different as well, it would make things alot easier on games and such. However, I found out after I got wireless for this computer that they aren't. 2x Thumbs down.
ummm isnt a router distribute to each computer in it's network a different IP eg: pc1 - 192.168.1.23 pc2 - 192.168.1.24 pc3 - 192.168.1.25 pc4 - 192.168.1.26 and so on and on... its not the same ip for every computer [or am i wrong?]
You're wrong, the router just distributes the same internet (thus, giving every user the same IP) to multiple computers.
I've tried proxy, I know it works great, but it just doesn't work on my computer. Or maybe the proxy list I take proxies from don't work...
I have the same problem, I have a router and whenever I set up a proxy the internet doesn't work. I'm not sure why though.
You two probably just have the settings off. In order to properly set up a proxy, you need an Http Tunnel, and you need to configure your browser to use it. There are a million things that can go wrong in the settings. My best advice would be to search for a proxy tutorial and make sure you follow it step by step. Those are internal LAN IP addresses. Your router needs to be able to distinguish one computer from the other, so it assigns an internal IP address. However, when the router connects to the internet through the modem, it only gets one external IP address for all the computers, and the external one is the one websites see.
wanna know the irony, I ask a stupid question like this but im CISCO certified, hehe anyway, thanks for the help
That has been established already. The server reads it as the same IP, however in a closed network, an extended address is given so that the router can distinguish between computers.
