IP Changes everytime I power cycle
 

Hi,
I bought the ebay stealth book and am currently going through the steps. I didn't really know or understand the changing IP section so I called my internet provider. I was told that my IP address will change every time I do a soft reset on the equipment (power cycle).
I have wind service (canada).. It is a hot spot equipment that is not connected to anything but the charger. I can have up to 5 computers connect to it wireless.
I have tried to power cycle the equipment 3 times and checked my ip on ipburger and the last 3 digits are different each time. I was told that I will hardly ever get the same IP no matter how many times I power cycle the equipment. It gets a new number every time it turns on.

My question is, is this enough or do I need to change something else on my computer. I have 2 different user accounts on my computer so I guess I will just need to power cycle the equipment every time I am switching accounts to log on to ebay. Just need clarity so I don't mess up...Thanks.

You only need one digit to different...literally, no exact duplicate addresses and your'e good to go....so sounds like you're good. But, you do know you need to create a different user account on your computer for each ebay account......right?

Thanks a lot for the response. Yes, I have different user accounts set up on my computer too.
