I use both normal and a proxy IP. Just lately I have noticed sites recording another IP for me, one I have not seen before or set. This IP has caused errors when downloading from rapid share; also my own site has logged it too. My main IP hasn’t changed in nearly a year. I have changed it myself but it always comes back to the original IP when I boot the next day. And the proxy never changes. I think its one of the last ntl proxies out there.

I’m not sure if I’m allowed the IP but here is the whois in part
pc-xx-xx-xxx-xxx-ha.blueyonder.co.uk
Netname: UK-CABLEINET-20000211
descr: Cable Internet Ltd
descr: PROVIDER Local Registry
Descr: Telewest Broadband
descr: UK Broadband ISP

This would suggest this IP is connected with VM I believe.
What I don’t understand is why I’m being recorded as using it, which none of my settings are set too.
Is this normal?
It happens whether I’m on the normal IP or the proxy.
But not all the time, its at random times as far as I can see.
I can use this IP as a proxy too, although its not listed anyware. google only shows 2 listings for it.
I can connect to the IP through firefox, it gives me a blank white page but its not no page can be found.

Any thoughts would be great

I hope this makes sence.
Thanks in advance.
firstly

yeah, it's nothing to worry about. it's probably due to the changeover with VM and so forth. blueyonder use that pc-*.* format still (afaik)
