I want to ask a question: "is the IP the same value for all computers in a LAN network ?" :confused:
I go to http://www.whatismyip.com and test for two computers in LAN, I see the same IP.
I intend to make a software that give for all the rest computers, and they will access my database in my computer via my software but don't sure how if all has the same IP :(
Could you give me some guidance for this ?
thanks !!!
 
yes, you have the same external address which is what the site gets. the internal one is usualy 192.168.1.X if you go to a command prompt and type ipconfig, you will get the local address
 
Hi I type IP config

Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lan
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.138

So my local IP is 10.0.0.1 ?
How about others' computer :confused:
 
Or you can use PC Wizard (google it) and then install it, and under network you can see the computer name and their IP, the people that are on your network, i have used it a bit, and have found it helpful.
 
The IP you were seeing was your external IP, the 10.0.0.1 is your internal IP, and every computer will be different.
