Can two people have the same IP address? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer11 months ago

I am asking this question because I do several of the paid to click and paid to read sites. One site I keep getting error messages that say "someone from this IP address already clicked on this add." and then the site Workfromhome HQ I got a message that my account is under review because of having two accounts from this IP address.
Now the IP address they have down for me is not the IP address that is listed on my computer.
Does anyone know what is going on? Does anyone know how I can fix this problem I will tell you I only have one account for these sites and do not want to be kicked off for something that is not by fault.
I will tell you my computer is new I got it for Christmas so I have only been using it since then.
Any ideas? Any help?
Thanks

Each individual computer has it's on IP (static) address. It doesn't change unless you change it. I don't think you could get online with the wrong address. But, each time you get online, your ISP may assign you to a network address. I don't think any two computers would ever have the same address.

Have you explained to the companies that you only have one computer with one ISP address?

Thanks for the information

Another possibility when you e.g. get banned due to IP (but the offender is not you) is that the administrator applied a wide ban - banning by geography which affects many many people.

Lord I have not heard of such a thing it could be because it has not happened since.

Are you sure they just did not have duplicate ads? I know awhile back, some companies would do this to punish those they felt were not actually looking at the ads.

I know public computer use can lead to this, but you said it is your own, so, I am not sure. Does anyone else use it?


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

It might be it. I have seen duplicates but thought it is just what some PTC sites do.

I think not.Because the IP may change in the fourth octet whenever each person is trying to access the website. maybe the computer was not able to trace it or read it well though. what you need to do id to try to clear your computer cache. TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>DELETE BROWSE HISTORY BUTTON


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

Thanks, one site said I was listed as a different IP net. I think it was an error in the web page.

Absolutely... but not at the same time. If your IP address lease is dynamic, someone may have had your IP address yesterday, or last week. Normally cable modem compnies give you the same IP address for long periods of time, even if you shut down... but they don't have to. If a new customer hooks up while your modem is shut down (maybe because you have the whole shebang on one power bar and shut everything down at the same time), they might get the IP address you were using. If you want to be sure your IP address never changes, you would normally pay a fee for a static IP address.


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

I do turn off my computer with when I walk away from it. I do not like it running when I am not on it I do not want to pay for the electricity when I am not using it.

No, It is not possib;e to have to IP adresses. But it is possib;e for the site to have one of your old IP addresses listed on their site. Such as if you can a new computer or move. I know I moved my IP address changed. Even staying with the same internet provider.


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

I did get a new computer and that was when I started having problems.


myLot reputation of 96/100. rusty2rusty (4186)   ranked 690 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

I would explain to the site that you got a new computer and your internet provider issued you a new IP address. So, the old one is no longer valid. Explain that you did not knwo you had to report a change of Ip addresses and ask them how to go about doing so in order to get your account straighten out.


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

thanks for your advise Rusty but this site does not have a link to contact them unless I just am that blind. I looked and looked and looked. I will tell you it has not happened again and I have been getting paid so far. Thank for your adivse

My WorkfromhomeHQ was saying the same thing last week. I was going to ask my son if he was working on the site - he uses my computer - but I haven't really had a chance to talk to him. I was actually wondering if they were having problems on their end - my last payout took 2 days when they used to take 2 hours...

As for the same IP address, anyone who uses your computer will have the same IP address, and sometimes if someone is sharing your connection you will have the same IP address - even though it should add a different number to the last series of digits for each computer using the connection.


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

reiny I actually WorkfromhomeHQ was having some problems with that. What make me concerned was a couple of other sites where giving me an error site that I had clicked on them or someone with the same IP address had clicked on them. It make me ask the question.


myLot reputation of 99/100. reinydawn (4230)   ranked 743 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

I haven't seen that message since I've been home - was away for the weekend. It's strange that the other sites were saying the same thing... Unless someone else was using your computer...


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

Unless it is the dogs, which I have seen them post discussions, I did not know they are now doing the PTC things. heehee


myLot reputation of 99/100. reinydawn (4230)   ranked 743 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

Eh, they're just trying to help you out:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

I guess I just do not appreciate them then. I have to take mom shopping today I wish the dogs can take her instead of me.

I have no idea on this one. I wouldn't think that you could though. But I am not 100%. I do hope that you find the answer to your question though.


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

courtney you are right and it not hpappen again

oh yes, it is possible that you were cloned by some proxy servers used by other people at random. there are softwares and websites that does this and let other people use it to cloake their true IP address. well, you were hit but it is kinda rare, it's one in a million. i guess you better go look for another site to make money from or go with the bandwagon and get yourself a proxy server software so you can go in as a new memeber.


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  11 months ago

Thanks for the advise but it has not happened since than. I do not know what happened then.
thanks for your information and advice.

Hey teapotmommommerced I can help you with your problem. It worked for me. Let me explain this to you. What you have is dynamic IP address. Dynamic IP address is not like static because static is a fixed IP address so it means, your IP address will not change. Going back to the dynamic IP address... Dynamic IP address is not a fixed IP address so it means it changes when you turn on and off your IP modem or router. Now, since it changes every time you turn on and off the modem, if you turn off your modem and turn it back on, you will have a new IP address. Now what I did with my problem is this. I turned of my modem and turned it back on again. I logged in to my PTC site and WALA!!! I was able to view the ads now... Simple!!! YOu just have to search the internet for your problem. Hope I was able to help you...


myLot reputation of 99/100. teapotmommommerced (5724)   ranked 24 out of 5,637 in computer  10 months ago

thank you what such an easy fix. It has not happened again but if it does I will certainly try this.
