lol. xD Your IP always changes during boot, it's reassigned to you. But what's this site you talk of? :roll:

Nope, my IP stood the same. Can you tell me what exactly happened and how'd you notice it?

maybe you have a dynamic IP address?

Most people do, few actually have a static one, remember no 2 computers can have the same IP address.

Well if you own a network and use a router then most likely both people own the same IP. And like said before, most likely it's an dynamic IP so it would be on constant interchange. :wink:

yeup...as baron said, dynamic IP... :wink:
how often it changes depends on your ISP, some ISPs have "forced disconnecting" usually every 24 hours (so you get a new IP after connecting again), but on other ISPs you can have the same IP even for months if you don't re-connect manually in the meantime.... :wink:

Doesn't always change constantly when you have a dynamic IP

b_b told me once that all ISP's has a set amount of IP's that they can use, and if there aren't any IP's to change to, you will most likely have the same IP when you reconnect again ^^
