I don't know much about computers and 2 years ago when I set up my wirless network, I needed someone to help me as I couldn't get it operational.
I have a linksys wireless router and Comcast provides me with a cable internet connection. I am using WEP and I don't broadcast my IP and I asked to have my router configured to only give out 2 IP addresses. I'm operating in Windows XP home (SP2).
My question is about IP addresses. When I go on-line to sites that tell me what my IP address is. I always get the same IP address (24.125.xxx.yyy). Shouldn't these sites tell me that my IP is 192.168.x.xxx?
Also, with a dynamic IP, why do the sites always tell me the same IP? Shouldn't my IP change weekly?
Any input you might have would be appreciated.
