Hi, This site gives you your WAN IP, which is different from your Lan IP. Wan IP is the one assigned to you by your internet service. If you have a router and share your internet connection with two or more devices such as a computer and a braille sense, then they will both use the same Wan IP, but each will also have it's own Lan IP assigned by the router so that they can share the connection.
What is my IP site only grabs your Wan IP, so that you could give it to some third party who wants to connect to your computer or some scenario like that. Hope this helps, Erik Burggraaf User support consultant, One on one access technology support and training over the phone or in person, 1-888-255-5194 http://www.erik-burggraaf.com On 2010-10-04, at 4:54 AM, peter greco wrote: > Hi Mike > Thanks! > Interestingly enough using this address got me a different IP than Vicky's > suggestion. > Also, a couple of times when using this address the VS clanged and needed > resetting. > Thanks for the information, your contributions are amazing!! > Peter > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mike Freeman" <[email protected] > To: <[email protected] > Date sent: Sun, 3 Oct 2010 18:24:39 -0700 > Subject: Re: [GWN] IP address for the VS > > Isn't there a website called http://www.whatismyip.org?
