You haven't told us how the laptop and desktop are connecting, so we are
left to guess.

It is possible for us to see your connectivity IP stamped by your news
server which is 69.109.214.146 and its name is like a DSL IP of pacbell.

The likely situation is that you have some kind of integrated gateway
device which functionally serves as a router for your two machines.

The gateway device has one IP address 69.109.214.146 for the internet
and that will be the address which appears to any such website that
displays your IP as it appears on the web -- whether it is the laptop or
the desktop.

However, internally, the ipconfig command will show you a translated
address which is different for the two machines.

One way to get a dos type console which will hold so that you can see
the result of ipconfig is to use Start/ Run/ command - then when you get
the console screen type ipconfig.

That will show you the translated address which might be something like
192.168.1.175 and the gateway's address which might be 192.168.1.1

You ****ing idiotic, endlessly waffling pillock, Easter. In your obsessed
desire to teach the OP to suck eggs, you missed this bit:

"the dos screen only flashes on for a second"

Unless you tell him how to fix that, you dumb**** ****, he isn't going to
be able to tell you ****ing anything, you ****ed in the head dickfungus.

**** me dead. Really? How ****ing dense and obsessive can some **** get?
