You work at Texaco jackass?

I stuck this up here for you!
 
PS

I know bro. I mean I REALLY know.

And there's a cool dude involved so I'll leave it there. How do you have so much time at work?

PM if you want. You know who you are.
 
We check IP address of their ISP's outgoing router interface....which never changes.

Even with a DHCP server (assigns IP's automatically), the router interface doesn't change. Even with use of NAT or some other IP address conservation measure, static or dynamic IP addresses don't really have much to do with it. That interface is stuck, because the ISP's other routers have to know how to get traffic there.

Some people have IP addresses outside of their router (or firewall) but that IP address is 99% of the time a corporate web server. It is outside the firewall to allow clients to see the web page. That IP won't change either.

This is too easy.
 
Wow, he gets to chill on a PC at a texaco station? That job wouldn't be so bad at all... especially if they had a midnight shift

Ok matt, how bout that in english now??!!:D Just playing. God, I've really gotta learn some computer skills.
 
FreakShow,

When you connect to the Internet, you are NOT connecting directly to the Internet. Instead, you connect to an Interent Service Provider (ISP), who is directly connected to the Internet.

Every computer on a TCP/IP network has an IP address. (Just about every network including the Internet is a TCP/IP network). There is a limited number of IP addresses, and no two computers on a network can have the same ones.

An ISP has routers that interface directly to the Internet. Routers tell Internet traffic where to go, based on the IP address of the traffic.

Your computer is therefore considered to be "behind the router", because the routers on the Internet only see other routers, not your PC.

Your ISP may use a DHCP server to assign IP addresses automatically. DHCP is "dynamic host configuration protocol" - basically means "gives out IP address
automatically".

The IP addresses assigned by the DHCP are the IPs of the PCs, and may change. But it does not matter - alll I will see from here is teh address of your ISp's router, which does not change. (It is not allowed to change because other routers have to know where it is).

NAT is something caled Network Address Translation. Some ISPs run it because it allows them to use fewer IP addresses.....the ones behind the router do not have to be unique - only the ones on the router itself.....

Better?
 
Matt,
It does, a little. Just remember, you're not dealing with the brightest crayon in the box. It would be nice to know more about computers, but it all seems so foreign to me. I just can't seem to get a grasp on it all. However, ask me to describe the Sliding Filament Theory of muscle contraction and now we're talking!
