Not necessary.
Only you are sure that person is using static ip then you can say that same ip=same people.
Most people in Singapore are not using static ip. -
if IP addresses run out....we always have IPv6
-
u can always change ur proxy such that it will be the same as someone else's
-
Nope, it depends on how the IP address is being assigned.
The current standard of IP address, which is IPv4, is not enough. IPv6 is currently being developed, and some websites have already started using IPv6.
As far as I know, less than 1% of today's computers are able to support IPv6, even if it could, none of the browsers out there could. -
So that means if someone with ip 192.186.1.2 tagged my tag board usng two different nick but same IP address it doesn't means that they are neccessary same people?
-
Same IP address will occur when two people assign the ip themselves?
Using auto-assign wun get same ip address, am I right?
And if source want send file to destination with ip 192.168.5.2... wad will happen when the ip is same for two users? I hear b4 the source will check the ip and mac address den determine who to send the file to.... -
I don't know how someone can be using such an IP. It's a private address, not for public use.Originally posted by lihuanlo1988:So that means if someone with ip 192.186.1.2 tagged my tag board usng two different nick but same IP address it doesn't means that they are neccessary same people?
But if it's some public address like 220.255.158.4, then it's possible that they are two different people. But chances of that is rare, because IP addresses are divided into a few groups for easy identification. -
even if got same static IP,could also mean 2 different person using the same computer with the same ISP.

First question - yeah... and Windows will give error if both are trying to access the Net at the same time.Originally posted by lihuanlo1988:Same IP address will occur when two people assign the ip themselves?

Second question - no. Softwares aren't perfect, and it will happen, although it's very rare.
Last question - the file will be sent over without problems, provided that person is not on the same network as you. Since there's no way for MAC address to be the same (assuming that the hardware is not hacked in anyway or some softwares are used to change it), it will get through. But if the recipient is on the same network as you, it probably will not work. -
TS: you probably can read up more about IPs for private or public network

If you go to this address
http://www.apnic.net/index.html
in the top left corner you will be able to see your IP address assigned to you... you will notice, if you are with singnet, that your IP address is part of a "group" and the address changes all the time (click refresh and you get a new number).
I do not know if the whole group of numbers are assigned to you (singnet assigns you a group to prevent you using your PC as a server) or the group is assigned to a group of PCs,
If it is assigned to a group of people, the address a website captures can belong to anyone in the group.
