try going to shields up ( shields up) website and check your ip. or consider firefox . and get add on from options. that puts your ip on the bar at the bottom right hand corner. after you done that make a note of your ip ) and then turn off your bt hub. unplug it for 15 mins . shut down pc. then reboot and check the ip against your bar

hi thanks for replying, im really confused though and would appreciate some help

i have flock browser running also . that also shows ip 86.132.18.84

when i do cmd ip it says 192.168.1.63

which is correct and why are they different

best go to shilds up and see your exposed ip.. thats the one that counts. exposed to all..

well if you check by going to any security testsite you can see which one is exposed. then attempt to change it using the methods i described, if that fails to change it then its possible you may have to turn it off overnight. so that a pool of IPs will be there when you wake up. should work. are you on bt broadband. that always works

its the same as the top one showing on flock browser, not the same as cmd ip? so does that mean its not showing the correct ip?

Blue.. there's a reset wireless switch on the back of the Hub... press it in, and hold in, until you hear a click, usually takes around 15 seconds. your ok to let go then.. it'll take around 5 mins whilst it reboots and checks all kinda..

I have a bt homehub, i check ip address on whatsmyipaddress.com, turn off and on the homehub at the wall. I wait for it to connect again then I re check my ip address and it is different, regards

Does anyone know if I can stick with the same provider as it uses dynamic IP's so If I boot off the IP and log back on with a new one, would ebay still know it's from the same user ?

Do I have to get a new provider completely ?

I would be setting up a new account obviously, with all the measures in the book.
