I.P. Address

[Nialler]

Just got an email from the mods that someone tried unsuccessfully to log onto my account and they gave me the I.P. Address of the person trying to gain access.

Where on my computer can I find my own I.P. Address ?

Thanks

Try this IP Locator which will initially show your IP address and location. You can then enter the new IP address and it will tell you where the other person was. Have you logged in on someone elses machine where it may have left your login name?

If the IP address was something like intomisearch based out in California then the chances are it was just a spider which tried to log in as there are always a fair few of them crawling the site trying to access areas they shouldn't be. Alternatively it could just be Niall trying to get back in after his lengthy birthday celebrations and hesitating over his name

Thanks BR, at least I was able to rule out someone attempting to gain access from my own machine

cheers

Just one other question,

If you are logging onto the internet from a computer linked to an office network do all the PC's in that network have the same IP address ?

thanks

I would think so although in larger companys the IPs might be issued randomly from a block of numbers depending on the bandwidth allocation of the server.
