Ok, well my next question is just echoing Deadroth's question. What is the IP address that your computer is being assigned on the network?

getting IP address in ipconfig.

IP should not be posted in public forum ..is not it ?

Is there any specific digits or pattern you want me to check ? what is it ?

You can post the IP address of your machine on the network without any problem. What you shouldn't do is post your Internet IP address. I would expect you to say that the IP address is 192.168.1.XXX, that's the default type of IP address for an internal network.

I'll check your reply when you post it, and if I see that you've provided your Internet IP address then I will remove it for you.

Your IPv4 address is ok to post as it's on your own private network. Most shop brought routers will have the default gateway of 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.x.x with your DHCP set is the same range of 192.168.x.x

Can you connect to your router with your browser? Should be able to via the web address bar, by entering the IP of your default gateway.

If you can access the default admin page of your router, it will help narrow down the problem for us.

This depends...

192.168.x.x is, 10.x.x.x, and 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x are all private networks. Posting them are anonymous, there is no way for anyone to find you posting those addresses, as these addresses are reserved for every private/secured network behind a nat firewall. Everyone in the world has a internal network that starts with one of these. It is the the outside IP, one that is not in one of these ranges, that could cause you trouble or allow someone to possibly identify you.

For instance my current internal ip is :

my problem solved ... a simple restart worked !

just a little query ....if a machine is connected to internet ...does it have two IP ? internal and internet ? or only internet ?

Usually of your machine is behind a router, it will have what is known as a internal ip. The router will have a public side and private side having 2 ip's on 2 very different networks. No one can cross that threshold between the outside coming in without you opening ports or having upnp enabled on your router.

There are some cases where you will get an outside ip on your computer, like connecting directly to a cable modem, connecting directly to a 3G or 4G modem (USB or PCMCIA are the common interfaces), or using dial up. These are the least secure ways of connecting to the Internet, and should have a software firewall enabled when doing so for your own protection.

It is recommended to use a router if you have dsl or cable, esp if your computer gets a Internet addressable ip.

Www.ipchicken.com will echo back your outside ip. If it is the same as your computer ip well then your computer is directly connected to the Internet.

    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
    • I checked on the IPs associated with every login and they're all mine... And whenever I get a new prompt, there is no activity to show for it. 
    • Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

    • Yeah, I signed out of everything when I changed the password to my account. I keep checking device history and there's never anything new other than my own activity.
