IP Address - 3 accounts

[zg00020]

Hi All,

If i have 3 different pc's at home and run 1 stealth account on each, do i have to worry about changing IP address or not? Any comments would be appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Yes you do.

Bes to pull the wire out the router every time you log into a different account.

Log the IP address on a spreadsheet so that you do not use it on a different account.

Heres a smaple excel sheet to log your IPs and details

Yes you do have to have new IP's and you need to track them - http://www.aspkin.com/forums/multipl...-stealths.html- should make it easy

Each account should have their own Windows user account (keeping cookies separate) + they should all have separate IPs.

Change your IPs when changing accounts. Keep great record keeping of which IPs you are using.

Previous posters have provided great sample sheets to follow.

Thank you guys, but I thought if i have 3 different computers and use 1 stealth account on each, i would not have to change IP every time i log in as each computer will have their own IP. I take I got it wrong then, please advise.

Each would have their own internal IP address on you local network, but that is not the IP address that matters.

What matters is the external IP visible to PP and EB. This will not be solved by having different computers. You will need to ensure your IP address changes and you keep track of it each time you log into a different EB or PP account.

Yes and no. You need to understand the difference between private and public IPs.

A public IP (or WAN or external IP) is assigned to connect to the Internet by your ISP (from their pool of IPs). This is how the rest of the world sees you. Every device within your private network will all have the same public IP.

Each computer on your network will have their own private (internal IP). A typical home network using modem + router will have something like 192.168.1.x where the last digit is different per device. Your router assigns this.

So while all 3 of your computers will have their own private IPs within your network, if you go to a website like IPBurger.com, they will all have the same public IP. This is the IP that eBay, Paypal, Amazon will see.

all the answers and no questions.

What provider are you with, some home broadband have options.

i can show you 4 laptops lined up connected to home internet all with different i.p's

Not an issue.

The problems tend to arise when you repeatedly login to different ebay accounts on the same IP.

[sanchez1]

Ahh I see now thanks!

Also - for each account - you use different user account and keep cookies in place for that account

So whats the score using Public WiFi then?

[JamesNorth101]

It should be avoided.

You have no control over the IP, and you have no idea who else has used the public WiFi

Many people have likely used this already - not a good look to eB

Better to access an IP that only you have used.

Chances are often high a public Wifi has been abused.
Keeping in mind there is always a danger of linking, then a public Wifi would be troublesome.

works for some and not others i guess

ive run 3 accounts on the same pc, different user accounts for all obviously, but all have the same ip as i have virgin super hub and ip remains the same no matter what you do, you can go into the hub and mess about with ip but then you lose your connection as virgin bb provide the match

all accounts are in area location that vigin bb provides say a 3 mile radius for example so its works a treat for me

all accounts are over a year old all verified with hundreds of feedback

as said i just jump from one user acc to another, never had to worry about ip or reboot the router... no point the ip would remain the same anyways...tried and tested

back then it was just something i thought about trying as i had no other way to play with the ip anyways being on virgin bb... so i made a new user, made a new acc same router same ip, worked, so did it again

not sure how much i could get away with and wont need to try as 3 is all i can handle

@turboman, backups ready if these go down? (not saying they will but just in case...)

The three accounts are almost certainly linked. The problems will only start should one of the accounts get suspended / limited.

Hopefully wont go down but the whole operation is risky turboman
