i forgot to point out…that I do have a firewall installed on my computer adn this person is saying that i cant have one if im on dialup?
i have some questions. Im on dialup which connects to a server miles away from where i live. I know that when i dialup i end up with different ip addresses. Is it possible to find out the actually town im in even if i live in the country? Also..someone said this..”Let me better explain the situation. If you are behind a firewall that would mean that you are not dial-up you are DSL and networked into other computers which would make you either in a school or work setting. Protocol would not change because that is the computer assigned number when connected to the internet even if you did dial-up it wouldn’t be any different because only certain numbers would change but would still give your location of town and state.” but im in dailup and they said when im in a message board they can get my ip address anyways? and what would they do with my ip address anyways…not like im some famous actress or idol?
