Help!! my ip is being used by thousands of people !!!

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!

 

Just download in IP Changer then.

 

Its a dynamic ip u cant help it

 

you can use VPN or TOR

free vp:

firefox TORbutton :

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 IP address do you get?

 

is it ok to disclose my IP here? if yes, then we could know who else have the same IP. because i checked with a local friend and it was the same.

 

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.

 

yes . that friend is also a DP member and has the same IP. how do i notify it to mods?

 

if you use a dedicated (VPN-)IP, you have no probs

 

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

 

what is an NAT anyways?

 

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 .

how would i connect then? i am logging in to DP with that connection for over 6 months already. i have the connection at home and i cannot spend nights in a cyber cafe just for the sake of staying online on DP. looks like i have to buy a vpn.

 

"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.

 

this link may help.

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.

 

will a vpn help? arent there any more EV-DO users on DP? i really wonder.

 

lol! that sucks
