change network ip

[nimrod27]

hey... I have a dynamic ip, as well as some other ip, me thinks is my network ip...(wireless d-link Airplus DWL-G650).

from www.whatismyip.com
Your IP Is 165.145.40.137, 198.54.202.***

the first ip changes often, but the 198.54.202.*** is always the same... Now I wanna know if there is anyway i can make my network ip dynamic, or change it... I tried going to TCP/IP settings, but cant find that 198.54.202.*** ip anywhere... and when in command prompt i type ipconfig/all, i see there are other ip's and stuff, but none like that, so i dont know where to change it...Any help would be appreciated... Coz its as if i have a static ip when browsing the internet, and i dont want that...

Think the 2nd IP is the transparent proxy

Transparent proxy? So you saying theres no way to change it or make it disappear?

IP Blocks

The first IP 165.145.40.137 is your public IP address which is dynamic, allocated by telkom. This should change every 24 hours.

The second IP range 198.54.202.*** is infact the SAIX cache/proxy server. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server for details.

So you dont need to worry ;o)

if you are concerned about your internet privacy, it might be worth using something like http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/http://www.google.com/

kay, will try that... Its just that i found out ppl can track where i live with the ip, coz sum1 did it, and i thought hey, i dont want to keep the same ip, coz then they can use it again in the future and stuff like that... coz when i go on to some websites, it always show that 2nd ip instead of my dynamic one...

165.145.40.137 = dsl-145-40-137.telkomadsl.co.za - looks like you!
198.54.202.1 = wblv-ip-esr-1-fe-1-0-5.telkom-ipnet.co.za - - guessed the "1", is an edge router (esr), you are into Telkom on that range I guess.

As BradDC says - the first is your dynamic IP allocated by Telkom.

seeing that its safe to say, the second one is 198.54.202.146...
So i guess this is the way its gonna be... Whats the point of having a dynamic ip then, when this is the only ip the IE uses? Unless i bypass this proxy or sumting? Soz, but i aint all clued up with computers and stuff...

If you are using a dydns service just make sure that the ip detectiondoes not run on port80 and thus you will not pick up the tranparent proxy

 

[nimrod27]

soz, didnt quite get that, lol? Kay, i use mweb adsl, but have no clue wat dydns is... I have seen it in TCP/IP settings, but dont know what it is... Wish i understood though...

In TCP/IP it says "Obtain DNS server settings automatically"... If thats any help...

Dont worry about dyndns... unless u want a pseudo-static IP. DNS is the service that basically gives you the IP address of a url. So u type in "www.google.com" into your browser and the DNS service returns the IP for that domain.

AFAIK the transparent proxy only comes into play when u browse overseas, it does the talking to the webservers for you and www.whatismyip.com (and most websites) will report the proxy's IP.
