he may have been pinging his home ip from a works address or from somewhere else . As there wasnt information on the IP and it was left for the membership to find out the location of the IP could have been anyones. For all we know he could have been posting someones ip deliberately in the hope someone malicious looked by. All I did was saw an IP that was obviously physical and point out the risks involved ,ok it turns out to be a game server which should be secure but on reading the thread I did not do that. Its upto the OP to put all the information required in a post not the readers job to do homework on it to ensure its ok or not
