Hello
I have three computer connected via a D-link wired router for home network. I have high speed Cable internet and have a have cable model which is connecter with router.
I am trying to find out my IP addresses but when I click www.whatismyip.com, all of computer shows the same IP address (starts with 65.xx.xx.xxx.
I was expecting both computer should have different IP instead both shows same IP.
Is there anybody who knows about it.
Thank you

That's the router's IP address. All the computers on your network share it to access the internet. Your computers have another IP address that they use to communicate with each other. It probably goes 192.168.0.xxx
Open up a command promt (run cmd) and type ipconfig, then enter.

Ok
First you need to understand that the ip that is giving you is your EXTERNAL ip the one your ISP assign you connected the router , Now , if you want ALL 3 pc to have external ip addres then you need to contact your ISP and tell them you need 2 static ip for you account. Now the second thing to understand is that the router is the one that is accesing the internet and it protects your network. Now the d-link has built in DHCP server, so it means that for your other pcs the addres should be 192.168.x.x . Now to check your local ip , then open start , choose run and type cmd , once the dos command window opens type ipconfig /all , this will let you know what ip is attach to the pc you have in the moment

One of the points of using a router (amongst other things) is so that multiple computers can share the same public IP address.
Read this here (regarding Network Address Translation) and you'll understand.

Thats due to Network Address Translation. What you are seeing isn't the IP address of your 3 computers, but the IP address of your gateway.
Use the ipconfig (windows) or ifconfig (Linux / MAC OS X) command on each computer to see the internal IP address of each.

the public website only sees your ISP provided IPAddress because you have a router running NAT and DNS and DHCP for your computers on your 'private' network. you routers IP is your public 65.xxx.etc the NAT 'translates' the addresses and the DHCP server provides your pc's with the 192.xxx.etc addresses.
go to each pc and do: start menu - run, type 'cmd' press enter.
at prompt type 'ipconfig /all'
compare the results on all pc's

Your IP address is through your modem not your computer.
