I was wondering if your IP address changed at all, or if it stays the same for as long as you have your computer? For instance, I've had my computer for two years now..would my IP be the same as it was when I first got my computer? How often do they change if they change at all?
I have DSL, and sometimes when I reset my connection, it tells me that my IP has been renewed, does that mean that my IP has changed? Sorry if these questions are dumb, but I've searched and can't quite seem to find the answers..
and also, what kind of information exactly can a person find out about you if they have your IP address? Could they find out where you live/your name/email? Any personal stuff? Or could they just send virus's and what-not to your IP to mess up your computer?
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this, I appreciate your help! :)
