I am using AOL dial up. Now, when I go on the internet and ask: "What is my
IP Address"? I get the following: (from the sites I have visited):
152.163.100 and the last digits change, sometimes 3 and sometimes 2, but all
sites say 152.163.100...etc/yet my system says my address is:
172.145.180.86, is this a local thing? Also, should I be giving this info
out over the internet?
Thanks, Steve

Are you using AOL as ISP?
Your dynamic IPS change continuously. That's why they're different all the
time.

It has nothing to do with Microsoft.
