No. At least not according to the mods when I tried to get on while I was banned once upon a time. Errrrrrr…. I mean when someone I know tried that.

Any public Wifi will dynamically assign a new address to you via dhcp when you connect. Home connections are also usually dynamically assigned but it wouldn’t change until you renew the IP lease, like by command or resetting the modem.

The different computers connected different ways to your home network will have different addresses, that change if you rotate the connections (unless you do set static ip addresses, but that is usually done on purpose, I think.)

Hmmmm they told me I had the same Internet Provider address with every computer in my house. I have two laptops and two desktops. Did they lie? Can I change them?

If you type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar in some browsers, it can take you into modem setup. Otherwise, for the standard dynamically assigned ip addresses you can get a new one from a command line. You could google “renew ip address” to figure that out.

And each computer has a different one, but certain parts of the address are the same, like if you live in the same state as someone else you’ll have that part of your address the same.

I think they just know from the attitude. Unfortunately there is no command line that can change me.

Company network systems implement non-public IPs to further improve computer network safety. This sort of systems are certainly not direct linked to the Net, which is actually valuable thing, with regards to protection.read more: http://www.19216811ip.net/ Exclusive IPs even permit access limits and prohibitions for members inside of the computer network.
