How do I check my IP address Iam using to connect to awireless network at home?
At home, we have a wireless network. We have numerous computers that connect to that network (some laptops and some PCs). Since having my new laptop, one of the PCs can no longer open websites. I think it may be because my laptop has overtaken the same IP address. How do I check and see and change the IP address of one computer?
What ip address do hackers usewhen you are using a router?
What ip address do hackers use when you are using a router? for example when using port scanners like angry ip scanner or advanced port scanner? Is it the ip address that the router assigned to the computer or the ip address assigned by the ISP? Does using a router makes me more safer? I have a linksys if that helps.
I am going to try and answer your question(s) in the order that you asked: 1. Hackers usually use someone else's IP addresses, if they are going to try a hack. How do you use some one else's IP? Well they usually use Proxy services, or hack into someone else's machine first and use their IP to hack yours. This way's if they use a port scanner, their real IP address is going to be hidden. 2. The IP address that's broadcast to the world, everytime you do something on the Internet is your Public IP or the address assigned by the ISP. Your router IP is called the LAN IP, which is usually only available to yourself, though there are sites like Machine IP (http://www.machineip.com) that can discover the LAN Ip over the Internet. 3. Using the router doesn't necessarily make you safer, it's the firewall feature that does. If you are using a router, switch on your Firewall. Also, install an additional firewall like ZoneAlarm on your machine.
