IP addy only changes slightly.......

[w0144224]

Hi guys. When I reset my router my ip address only changes slightly, more often than not the last 3 digits only change. Question is, is this still ok to log into stealth accounts and be safe?

Thanks in advance.

That's fine. As long as the entire ip address isn't the same, then it's not an issue. Remember, this is going to be their system that picks it up. The system will notice if two are the same, but if they are different, even slightly, you're in the clear. This has happened to me a lot without any negative consequences.

If you are still concerned, I have notice that when I do a change using SMAC on my ISP router, if I don't wait long enough only 3 numbers change. If I leave it off for 20 minutes, I get a whole new IP.
