Moving question...

I am moving tomorrow into an apartment until our new house is down getting built. Will that have any affect on any of my accounts when I move? I will still have the same computer and same Internet provider. We are just moving to a different place. Anyone know?

It shouldn't matter. When you place the order, you will be asked to fill out the address again.

My IP address wont change right? Your IP address is permanent isn't it?

Your IP address changes quite frequently, unless you have a static IP, which some cable or DSL providers allow you to have. Your IP address does not matter anyways.

Your first post was in this forum ). Welcome to the site.

I could be wrong, but I think your IP is determined by the port you're plugged into. It's a problem on college campuses b/c everything is on one big server, but I think for personal internet, the IP would change at a new address.

Anyone know for sure?

This was right.. Unless you have a static IP, it'll be different and be reporting the address of the temp apartment..

Your ip address changes quite frequently. Weather you move or even while you stay at home. The port you plug into does not decide what your ip will be. DHCP, the process that distributes your ip is selective by your mac address, a number on your network device that identifies it. There really isn't a problem with being on a college network because gratis recognizes that people in colleges are doing that and realize that the way they network the place, there are different internal ips (the ips that the computer gets on the college campus) and the ip address that the Internet sees. What gratis does (or that i assume that they do) is that they check the mac address of the computer and make sure that not too many people duplicate it. But that is how the network works in lamens terms.

Sweet. So I should have no problem. Just making sure.

You can check what the world or internet sites think your ip is by going to ipchicken[dot]com
