Is the IP adress different for each computer?

Question

I have two computers at home and i use the same server for both does the ip adress change or is the same

Answer 1

In your situation yes the IP's are different. in the real world though if all the IP's were different - we would be out. currently there are standards out there that have set certain groups of IP addresses as private addresses. 10.###.###.### is one of them. this means that it can only be used in an internal private network and cannot get out to the Internet. most businesses use a 10.###.###.### addressing schema in their business. The trick is that to allow people with these addresses to get out to the Internet, the information gets the external IP address of the router, which is assigned by lager corporations, so there are no duplicates.

Answer 2

Well this depends on lot of factors. You have 2 computers. DO u use a dial up connection? If yes then the IP changes with every session this is because you get a dynamic IP address that changes. If you have a high speed connection then you might have a static IP address, that purely depends on the service provider. To have a check on the IP address follow this step.

For windows systems.
Start> run> type"command"> then type "ipconfig"

It will show your IP address, you can check it every time after every session does your IP change or not. Hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

When you say server do you mean router? Most people have one account to access the internet (cable, dsl, whatever). Your router uses the IP address issued by your provider and provides each computer an internal IP address (this changes but the provider never sees it). So from outside looking in, you always have the same IP, but each computer has a different IP as assigned by your router.

Answer 4

First of all you need to know there's a differnce between the INTERNET ip address and the locla ip address. If you are using a router, then your router has the INTERNET ip address and both of your computers are sharing that, and the router assigns each of them a local IP address that is unuqie to each other.

If for some reason your ISP is incompetent and they've allowed you to connect two computers through the same connection with out a router then you probably have two INTERNET ip addresses one for each computer.

Answer 5

If you are using a consumer router (i.e. a Linksys), then each PC's internal IP addresses will be different, but the external (or public) IP will be shared. To the web sites you are visiting from each PC, the requests will come from (and responses sent to) the same Internet IP.

Answer 6

No 2 comps can have the same IP address. Both of ur 2 comps have a different IP address.
Note:- Wat do u mean by same server???
Server is alloted by the network Router and Strictly depends on the Net Traffic. U can't use 1 server for all websites.

Answer 7

Remember that there are internal and external IP addresses. If both PCs run through the same router they will have the same external IP (what yahoo or google sees). Internally they will be different (so your router knows where to send info coming in).

Answer 8

Each computer has a separate IP address.
However, their IP addresses may not be exposed to the outside world.

If network address translation (NAT) is enabled, then both computers will have different internal (private within your network) IP addresses, but they will be represented by a single external IP address (that of your gateway).

If NAT is not enabled, then each compuetr will have a separate external IP address.

Answer 9

It really depends on your service provider. For instance, dial up users have their IP address change every time you log in. On my network, the IP address is static (stays the same every day) and each computer has it's own unique IP address. Contact your provider and you can find out how they handle it.

Answer 10

Your house (unless you pay for multiple IP's) will get one public IP. Each computer on a network (say if you have a Linksys router) will get a different local IP address.
