IP Address Question on difference
 

I need help understanding the difference on ip address...

I went too: IP Address Locator - Enter an IP address to find its location - Lookup Country Region City etc to see what is my ip address and it gave me: 68.215.50.252. Now when I went into my computer and looked for my IP Address and it gave me: 192.168.0.150

I noticed some people tell you to change the ip address before opening a new account and when I reset my computer that ip address I look up in the computer does change: right now I have 192.168.0.150 and it changes to other numbers when I reset it...

But when I go to the ip locator website the ip address still is the same 68.215.50.252....I even gone to other ip locator website and its the same info: 68.215.50.252...

In one of my ebay accounts I had to change my email address and when I changed it, it said changed from ip address 68.215.50.252 not the one inside the computer...

So I am a bit confused on the difference between the one you check on your computer and the one that it shows on different website....

yeah everything that starts with 192.. is internal so your router knows which computer to forward info to on your home network.
