You have one line to your isp and it has just the one IP address .
So the online checker shows that address .
Your ethernet home network will have a router which will allocate
individual Ip addresses to the individual Mac's .
You should be able to see the address of that mac by going to System
Preferences - Network
and look at the " built in Ethernet " details
Typically depending on your brand of router you would expect to see
something like 192.168.1.x
Some browsers use 192.168.0.x
The " x " part of the address will be different for each Mac .
With an ethernet connection the " x " part of the address mostly stays
the same

If this is the case how can I check the individual iMacs on our
house ethernet system. They all pop up the same IP number when I
use an online checker.
