Checking IP changes when using a dongle (in UK)
 

Hi

Ive been less vidulent on the accounts that i use with a dongle by not recording the ip's used.
Is this not wise? I thought that because the ip range was so broad and varied, it would'nt be much of a risk.

Thanks :pop2:

The whole point in using a dongle is it gives you a new IP each time you connect to the internet.

So make sure you do this before switching accounts.

Use IPburger to keep track of IP's.

sorry - error on my title.

I always reset the dongle, change user acc etc - but im not recording the ip's as the range is so vast and i doubt very much i will get a duplicate.

I use dial-up and while, less efficient than dongle, does give different IPs. I don't really manage about the IP so much as to keeping each account separate.

TEXT speak in the thread title?:eek:

Changed now.

To answer the question, IPs can be recyled. Should multiple accounts be used, it's a healthy stealth practice to run a check and be vigilant. Imake£ was right on the money ;)

I do keep track so if I get limited or banned on that IP I will never again use that number. Keeping track I have found that every once in a while same IP does come up. It might not link you right away, but the more stealth the better.

I must've reset the ip on my '3' dongle around 1000 times and have NEVER had the same IP. Regardless I still keep a record just in case. Its not a burden at all. Since you make a new windows user anyway, set the homepage website to ipchicken or whatever, then just copy the IP, go to your spreadsheet. Ctrl F, look for the IP, if no results come up it's safe and so paste it in and proceed to ebay.
