if youre not going to let him use it then dont tell him about it. when you mention it he assumes youre being nice. and now youre not letting him use it.
if you want to know your own IP for sure make a php script <?php echo ' $REMOTE_ADDR'; ?> and it will print ur IP
hmm, I'm taking it you don't know much? If he runs that on a local server of his, that will print his local IP (192.168.1.x) or the localhost callback (127.0.0.1). That doesn't help him. If he runs that on an external PHP enabled server, that will give him the IP of the proxy his ISP is using. That doesn't help him either. By the way, using Code: $REMOTE_ADDR requires "registered globals" to be enabled in the php.ini. By default, they are not. If you rent/buy almost any PHP server, they do not give you access to a php.ini. The corrent syntax would be Code: $_SERVER[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ] ; or the long version Code: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ]
Yes , I live in Singapore. Slightly confused. I don't use Linksys , it' s speedtouch. So , the 165. is my local IP , meaning my Internet IP right? And the 192. would be my PC's IP right? I'm not good at this area of computing so meh. Guess the guy got banned for illegal stuff.
127.0.0.1 is your local IP (meaning it points to your own computer. Its also known as 'localhost') 192.x.x.x are your local network IPs, that means anything connected to your router is assigned one of these. The 165..x.x.x IP is your IP out on the internet.
