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.

    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
