Question about IP addresses.

KathyPet · ‎03-09-2010

If I have a smart phone, a tablet and a

laptop do I have a separate IP address for each device? So if my user ID and IP address were banned on my smart phone could I then create a new user ID with a different IP address using my tablet and still a third using my laptop??

No , Your IP address is from your internet provider. No matter what device your on, that will always be your IP address.

Let me add if your not home and your using like mcdonalds internet, then your ip address will change.

If you’re like most people, your Internet service provider hands you a single Internet Protocol address and your router shares it amongst all the connected devices in your home. This actually violates the end-to-end principle, which the Internet was designed around. However, there are only so many IP addresses to go around – we’re running out.

Public IP Addresses Are a Limited Resource

There are less than 4.2 billion available IPv4 IP addresses. In other words, there are more connected devices on the planet than there are unique, public IP addresses for them. The Internet is running out of IPv4 addresses, even though we’re rationing them.

Rather than your Internet service provider assigning a unique public IP address to each device in your home – you would need an additional IP address every time you bought a new computer, tablet, smartphone, game console, or anything else – your ISP generally assigns you a single IP address.

I don't think this is accurate @BalletBabe. Read the article I posted to see if it makes any sense to you.

Are IP addresses different for each computer?

Answer: If you access the Internet from a local network (LAN) in your home or business, it is possible that you share an IP address with other users. This is because, while you might use different computers or devices, you all use the same Internet connection.

Well now I am confused! LOL In my case my router is locked. I can see everyones router in my neighborhood but they are all locked. You must have a password to use them. I was told by cable company that this is my IP only. Now I don't know.

They are cheap but they do have the best coverage. I guess my question is when I am home my phone is using my router, and when I leave the house wouldn't it be on Verizons? I am going to need popcorn for this conversation. LOL

Hi
LOL, The sky is not falling.

Many ISP, and wireless companies have started to deploy IPV6 address on their networks http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/ .
