I thought it was very helpful, but I thought you could trace where the IP address is located?! I have McAfee and it will trace anyone who pings my computer, unless it has a block?
An IP address can not, not, NOT be reliably located without the assistance of law-enforcement.

Thanks for the info. What about mentioning static and dynamic addresses.
Not sure what I'd "mention", other than it's difficult, if not impossible, to tell from the IP address alone whether it's static or dyanmic.

Googlebot 2.1
Your "Referrer" string is: http://ask-leo.com/

Leo I still have a problem with one of my computers #1 computer works find on my network but #2 computer will not connect my network.
Both computers have been working on my network until
the server was taking over by another.
It might mean the new server wants another fee
I have always been using 5 port nway switch hub
Someone suggested I get a router to make my network work.
I am the only one using both computers and all I want is simple network.
Unfortunately your specifics aren't very clear, but if you have one internet connection to share between two or more machines, then yes, you need a router.

RUN > IPCONFIG produces a milli-second flash of the "blackboard" text screen with the IP info, but disappears way too quickly to read. How to make the screen remain? (XP w/sp3)
Don't use "Run". Follow the instructions in the article and open a Windows Command Prompt, and then run the command therein.

@ Bill Kingman. U'll Have to go to command prompt (Start-Accessories-Command prompt) and then type ipconfig to know your IP address

Re Bill Kingman... This worked for me:
Start | Run |(type) CMD |(type) IPCONFIG
I also have XP3.
