IP addresses?

acehiven · 07-12-2006, 05:25 PM

When I look at my account on the torrent area it says who it seeding and all of that great stuff. If they are a member of DA, then their user name comes up. If you click on a username, it shows their IP address except for the last 3ish numbers, but when I click on my own it shows the entire IP address. Do others see my entire IP address? That is something I'd prefer others not to see.

No, only you and tracker staff see your whole IP address. Everybody else would just see what you see when you check someone elses profile with the last numbers x'ed out.

Just like cyberbeing said, only tracker mod, admin and yourself can see the whole IP address......so you no need to worry so much about it

The first 3 occets of the IP address will tell you where and what ISP the user uses, the last 4th occet tells you what the Computers ID on their ISP. You can do things if you have the full IP addy, if you have the skills.
