I still have a "brick" satellite phone......

Forgive my ignorance but I thought an IP address was an Internet Provider address that is given to a user by the company that provides their internet service? Kinda like a phone number??

Bottom line, there must be a way to block an individual, but perhaps that costs too much time and $$$ to be worth it to IB and similar......

It's easy just let him on here under his own name and don't post to his threads.


Problem solved.

I think Jim Darr feverishly masturbates each time he gets stuff stirred up on here about himself. Kinda like the dude in Silence of the Lambs that does the tuck.
Probably not, but we really need to quit feeding the trolls. OSO has an ignore button that I plan to use next time he surfaces.

could have gone the rest of my life w/o that 1!!!!!!

It is given by the Internet Provider. Apparently, depending on the service you have, you can change it sometimes. I didn't know you could do it either until a mod from another forum discussed how a certain person was always changing their IP address.

Just curious what happens when you pick up WiFi on a laptop? What about a smart phone where it continuously picks up hotspots? Does the IP change?

Yep

Interesting. Thanks.

I can see where this is going to go....
