Internal IP Addresses???

What are these 2 IP addresses?
Why are they there?
Are they threatening?
If so, how do i get rid of them and prevent them from showing up in the future?

I know it's not my local IP because that is 192.168.1.6 and the reason that doesn't show up is because my internet was unplugged.

heh. We use the same sidebar, I use Processor Usage, Performance, and IP Address too just that mine shows only one Internal IP.

Here is a nice article about Internal IPs:

Code: Select all

The second one is your Hamachi network interface IP, and the first one I don't know ... but you can check your addresses with

start - > cmd - > ipconfig /all ... if it's there, then it's a missconfigured interface, and if it's not, then the sidebar is most likely fucked up.

seems you have an internal server process running, this service "connects to itself"...both IPs are not assigned, and at least the 1st one would never be routed on the internet.
get TCPview from the downloads and check what services are using those IPs...

edit: damn cats, I almost always win the "yatta!" challenge but fail in the "post faster" one...

ok, when the 2nd one is Himachi then the 1st one is most likely an internal Hamachi connection, TCPview will clear it up.

ipconfig says it's the "Autoconfiguration IP Address"..hmm

Well the hamachi one has been there for some time now. The first one appeared recently. TCP View said it was svchost.exe so i ended that process. It no longer shows up on TCP view now but it's still there in the sidebar even after being refreshed. I'll go ahead and restart to see if that clears anything up.

svchost.exe is a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System which handles processes executed from DLLs. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

Mind that "should not be terminated"
