Hi ,



When ever we are connected to the internet, we are assigned an IP. This IP

be dynamic IP assigned to one from the pool of IP from the ISP's IP pool.

Some might have a static IP which doesnt change and remains same. But

dynamic IPs are picked up from an IP pool and all dialup users will have a

dynamic IP which keeps chenging everytime as they connect to internet.



Now suppose, i am connected to the internet with my dial up connection. I

get the IP of my system at that point. Say it is 200.12.12.12. Since IPs are

unique, at that point ot time no one gets that IP. If i run a webserver on

my system, and if i try to access my system from a remote computer with the

IP 200.12.12.12, i should ideally be able to see the directory

listings(assuming proper security and access being provided). Right ?  What

happens to me is - Whn i use a dialup connection and do the above said

process, i m able to see the listings of my computer from a remote computer.

But at same time when i use a DSL connection, i m not able to see the

listings. So there is something apart from the IP address alone which

defines theweb identity. Can anyone tell me what makes the difference.



In short - apart from IPs and DNS settings, is there any factor that

determine the web identity of a computer





with regards

If the IP address is in a public range, then that IP address is a unique web

address. However, if your computer is connected through a DSL box, it may be

assigning an internal "private" IP address.



Are you connecting the host computer with a DSL box?
