IP Address

cheburns · 09-08-2007, 09:49 PM

I was trying to port forward so my utorrent would download faster and followed the instructions at www.portforward.com but it didn't work. Then I realized that if I go to command prompt and go to ipconfig /all it says my ip address is 192.168.0.something and when I go to portforward.com it tells me my ip is 24.222.something.something I don't remember exactly and its not that important but why are they different at all? and in completely different forms? How should I set up my port forward. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Maybe one was reading the gateway IP and the other reading your actual IP for the PC your running on?

well in ipconfig it tells me my gateway ip and its 192.168.0.1 i think but i know its dif than the ip it said i was running on and the ip that portforward and other sites gave me was just totally different

ip config tells you your lan side of your ip address but portforward.com is telling you your wan address look on wikipedia to find out the difference

Edit: do you have a static Ip address assigned to your computer?
