1 edit | Can I have 2 IP Addresses? Hello,
I just logged into this forum using the same home computer, username and password I always use and was met by the following message:

The only possible change I may have made was in browsers. Sometimes I use IE and sometimes I use FF. Can this cause me to have 2 IP addresses?

fishing | Your power could have gone out briefly, cutting off your modem. When the power came back on the modem could have acquired a new connection with a new IP address. Just one idea of how it could have happened. | |

| Re: Can I have 2 IP Addresses? Thank you for all the replies.
When I spoke with a moderator and was asked to check the IPs of my sign-in logs, I found I had 5 different IPs. 
Sometimes when I log into personal accounts, I receive an alert which indicates my computer is not recognized and I must answer prearranged personal questions.
I have never had power outages, nor has my modem been turned off or have been reset.
I used CCleaner before logging in this morning and recall doing so on 2 occasions before I logged into an account and was told my computer was not recognized.
I also was concerned something was amiss, however now it does not appear to be. | |
