Ip Address

i could get radio which would give me up to 4 mbit and bit for bit its cheaper than adsl. i just couldnt convince mum to pay the £300 installation fee. plus apparently it's quite unreliable

You mean satellite internet?

Latency can be nearly a 0.5-1 second on those connections!

nope radio. entirely terrestrial(sp?). its meant for people who can't get broadband through the phoneline, like people in villages (theres a lot of them in Cumbria).

Never seen radio internet... there's not enough bandwidth for a signal at radio frequencies...

Has anyone answered the question in the easiest way?

Win XP - go to start menu/run, enter "cmd" and press enter (without quotes) then type IPCONFIG in the DOS box that appears and press enter. This will give you the IP addresses of all the network adapters on your machine (including dialup adapters, adsl modems and network cards). The one you're looking for is the one associated with your modem (adsl or cable modem, or dialup adapter).

Win 98/ME - got to start/run and type "command". Then type IPCONFIG at the prompt.

if it doesn't have enough bandwidth then i don't know how this works

wow thats really kick ass :/ wish i could get it in my area

It uses microwaves in the gigahertz range, not radio frequencies though.

Is that radio Broadband expensive?

only applies if you aren't behind a router... that's where www.whatismyip.com comes in handy!

nope 20 quid a month for 1Mbit

True - not that likely I'd say in this case, but good point.

Contention is 100:1 though, so that's 100 people sharing 1mbit.

thats only double what the average adsl (512) one is. plus its cheaper than what i'm paying now.
