Is the IP dedicated to one pc or can it change.....help!!
Thanks for any help in advance
Is he an NTL customer? Each NTL customer has their own IP address, however NTL and other ISPs use transparent proxys, these also have an IP address and this is often the IP address that a site such as this sees unless they have taken the effort to recode the piece that captures the IP address.
So you need to ask them what IP address they consider him to be posting from, get him to use the connection button at the top of this forum to ascertain the IP he is using. This button at the top will highlight if he is going through a transparant proxy.
If he is they will need to recode their site.
If he is posting from a work location then everyone in that office will be posting from the same IP address, just as everyone behind a router in a house will be posting from teh same IP address.
