does your ip adress change daily? or only by deleting cookies?

Question

will deleting your cookies change your ip adress??.. does your ip adress change every day? or only change if you disconnect and reconnect your cable modem or wirless connection?

Answer 1

the ip changes only when u connect and disconnect ur internet connection and is in no way related to cookies

Answer 2

No, deleting cookies has no effect on your IP address.

The frequency of IP address change will depend on the way you connect to the Internet. Normally, cable high-speed will keep your IP address for a relatively long time (1 month or so). DSL can change you address quite frequently (every day or so). If you're using dial-up, you should have a different IP address each time you connect.

The IP address will depend on the lease properties of the computer giving you the address. Normally, they remember you computer's MAC address (unique address of your network card) and give you the same address for a specific lease period (5 days or so).

Be sure not to confuse your INTERNAL IP and your EXTERNAL IP. If you're connected through a wireless firewall, you'll have an INTERNAL and an EXTERNAL address. So, even if you internal one changes, the address seen on the Internet (the external on) will stay the same.

Answer 3

it has nothing to do with you deleting cookies. It depends on how you connect to the internet. If you have a dial-up connection (aol, netzero etc; when you have to physically open up a program and hit connect each time you wanna go online) - so if you have dial-up, your IP address is different each time you sign on.

If you have a broadband connection (comcast etc) you are always connected to the internet, whenever you turn on your computer you're already connected - if so then your IP address stays the same.

I'm not quite sure what it is for DSL (yahoo, earthling etc); i remember when i used to have DSL a few years ago, my IP address did change each time i connected, but im not quite sure how it works now, i think most DSL connections are always on now and you dont have to connect to the internet each time - i'm not a 100% sure about dsl though.

Answer 4

If you are talking about the IP address of your Internet connection, then it probably is setup by DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) and a new IP address is assigned everytime you login to the net.

In some Internet setups, a permanent IP is given and does not change at all.

The IP address on your home/office LAN can too be based on DHCP or Static IP.

try the following (type the stuff inside the quotes, not incl. the quotes):
"IPCONFIG" <--this shoudl reveal your current IP
"IPCONFIG /RELEASE" <--this should free up the IP
"IPCONFIG" <--check if your IP became 0.0.0.0. DHCP assigned IPs become this.
"IPCONFIG /RENEW" <--ask for a new IP from the DHCP server.

Answer 5

I believe that your ip address doesnt change daily and has nothing to do with deleting cookies.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP). Any participating network device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones — must have its own unique address. An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP) for a computer or other network device on the internet. Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.

An IP address can appear to be shared by multiple client devices either because they are part of a shared hosting web server environment or because a proxy server (e.g. an ISP or anonymizer service) acts as an intermediary agent on behalf of its customers, in which case the real originating IP addresses might be hidden from the server receiving a request. The analogy to telephone systems would be the use of predial numbers (proxy) and extensions (shared).

IP addresses are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. IANA generally assigns super-blocks to Regional Internet Registries, who in turn allocate smaller blocks to Internet Service Providers and enterprises

Answer 6

Deleteing cookies will not change your IP address. How offten it changes depends on your network or your ISP. If your address is a "static ip" it never changes.

Answer 7

Many isps give you a new relative ip address every time you log on. Cookies keep your personal preferences and settings.

Answer 8

nothing between cookies and ipaddress........ip addresses r usually dynamic but u may have static ip address also..depending upon ur connection
