    hello everyone,

    i just noticed that every BSNL Ev-Do (USB internet card in india) is given the same IP address! I noticed it when i was trying for a free download link in rapidshare and it kept saying that my IP is already downloading a file. then i confirmed with another friend of mine (using ev-do) and was surprised to know that his IP is same as mine.

    Is this going to be a big problem? i mean , apart from waiting for hours for a free download slot from rapidshare etc? i heard paypal guys could ban my account suspecting fraudalent activity from this IP.

    Please help!

    This Is Not Your Problem & Paypal Know About This System.
    & Your Ip Address Isn't One.
    Check Your Ip Address Whois. You Will See Your Isp Give You Some Random Ip Address.

    what about if your IP matches with other DP members ?? Remember to notify Mods about it or else you'll get in trouble for different accounts with same IP.

    there's nothing you have be scared from if somebody else is using the same ip.
    it's probably NAT.

    Its the Network Address Translation Server at your ISP's end.
    It assigns the IP Addresses automatically to the connected computers.

    I will suggest you not to open DP from that IP ..
    You are having the same IP because you may be connected via dial up internet connection and all the users have been assigned a proxy address .. all the users are actally connected to only one server which has got the unique IP ..
    Check your IP here , if proxy have been detected then you are using the shared IP address .

    "USB internet card"?

    Like mobile broadband? who is your ISP? Is this a wifi or a wireless card? i.e. do you have a router + phone line + USB ethernet card?

    It sounds to me like you are using some sort of wireless connection (3G?) that goes via a proxy, the IP of the proxy is probably shared with many other users.

    It sounds like your service provider is just using a proxy, so apart from using another proxy or tor (as said ^^) you can't do much.
