baccyman that will show your internet IP if you have a router. the one from whatsmyip or other sites is your actual internet IP.

not knowing a great deal about computers i thought that there was only 1 ip address for each computer .

Yes there is only one.
If your using a proxy then you wont always be able to see your ip via your network settings unless you put it in manually or are using a proxy program.
I use these online ip viewers just to check if the proxy is working.

all you have to do is go to control panel >network connection>double click on your lan connection look under support and it will tell you there what your ip number is and a few other details.

hmm lemme guess your ip starts with 192.168...

thats not your ip, thats your lan ip adress or something of the sort.

Or if you are plugged into a router.
A router hides the internet IP adress (for example lets say it's 62.252.0.12).
but a router gives out it''s own IP adress to your computers (usually in the 192.168.0.x range).
so if you went to your network connections you'd see something like 192.168.0.2 instead of the actual internet IP.

get what i mean?
