How do IP address work

[Art Vandelay]

I don't how IP addresses work and wanted to know how to set up multiple CUF accounts was curious. In my office we have 20 workstations that all run through one server, which I think is how they are all connected to the internet. Would each workstation show up as having the same IP or does each one unique. Also do iPhones or other WiFi devices always have the same address or would it vary depending whether you are using WiFi or connecting through the mobile signal?

All this seems like magic to me, it intrigues me how all this stuff works.

Depends on how your IT dept has it set up. Either way is possible.

Yep, depends on the wifi connection you're using. I think each device has its own unique ID (do they have MAC addresses?), however.

In a setting like that, more than likely they all have the same IP.

When you do an ipconfig from the does prompt does it list your IP address as starting with 10. or some other number besides 10?

If it is another number besides 10 it is more likely they have their own individual IP addresses.

My FBI brother recently arrested a child pornographer uploading in the parking lot of a hotel who thought nobody could locate him if he was using a business's unprotected wifi signal. They definitely have some kind of unique id.

You can spoof MAC addresses as well.
