TheHatter Posted August 13, 2012 ID:584473 Share Posted August 13, 2012 So I just noticed this when I started playing a video game. It has a built in feature which basically tells you what IP address has your account been logged in from. It notified me that i have logged in from a different IP since i last played. I only played on my computer.I searched around, and found that I have a dynamic IP by typing ipconfig /all on cmd.What I really want to ask is what are the "rules" for the IP to change, because mines changes everyday. My modem is never off so I don't know why it always changes. Does simply turning off my computer make my ISP assign me a new IP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJGoodhouse Posted August 13, 2012 ID:584478 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Unless you purchase and IP address from your ISP, they lease you an IP Address for a Specific period of time and it is subject to change and the end of every lease period Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJGoodhouse Posted August 13, 2012 ID:584490 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's completely at the Choice of The ISP, Bring up your command line and run ipconfig /all and see how long your lease is for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHatter Posted August 13, 2012 Author ID:584496 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Whoa, I think you posted a little too much. If it was lag, it was lagging on my end too.Also thanks, I can't believe i didn't see that! Apparently, my lease ends at the same time everyday.

RJGoodhouse Posted August 13, 2012 ID:584497 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks, Lag Happens even to the best forums, I reported the Duplicate post and requested the be deleted. IP Leasing has been around a long time but few people notice. No Biggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
