Ultima Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 You might not realize it, but you are using a router. What modem are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 172.16.0.0/12 - This block is set aside for use in private networks.Its intended use is documented in [RFC1918]. Addresses within thisblock should not appear on the public Internet.According to the RFC documentation, you're behind a router. Additionally, I can see your external IP address since I'm a moderator, and it does not match the IP address you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dara777 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks for your replies. I am on wireless broadband. The cable that comes directly from my antenna is plugged into the lan socket of my laptop. The wrong IP address is what confuses me. When I check my status on my network connection i have the adress as stated earlier but when i do the tests i am shown an address similar to my DNS address. I don't know what i'm doing wrong but when i test port forwarding it is always "not open" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LozSEO Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Your network connection is different from your PC's IP'... Like, my network connection with AOL is different from my actual IP..go to: http://www.ip2location.com/your ip address will be displayed at the top.
