At the command line type /sbin/ifconfig and you will get a listing of information. Your IP is shown after inet addr.

The switches do not obtain an internal IP address, and there are no settings to change. It is fully plug and play. See similar questions...

A Yes. This is only really useful if you are assigned a static IP address by your ISP or Web Hosting company. We prefer not to assign sub-domains to IP addresses that aren't online 24 hours a day (i.e. that are only online when you dial-up). See similar questions...

Yes, but this is the very nature of direct connections. BitWise bypasses the server, so your PC must know where to send the messages (i.e. what computer on the Internet). Without sharing your IP address, nobody could connect to you, and BitWise wouldn't be very useful at all. You can't have it both ways: you can't have direct connects and not reveal your IP address. Does revealing your IP address constitute an insecurity? We do not believe so. See similar questions...

Most computers connected to the Internet are identified by a unique number called an IP address (for instance, 81.31.115.90). IP addresses do not correspond to a geographical location nor are they easy to remember. Also, IP addresses are FIXED (if you change web hosting companies you'll need to get a new IP address for your site). See similar questions...

In general, a static or dedicated IP address will only be available in conjunction with SSL. Please contact us at sales@cheaperwebhost.com with your needs. See similar questions...

Please Note: You shoud NOT change the management interface's IP address while LANforge is running. You should first stop LANforge, then change the IP, then start LANforge again. Or, you can just reboot the machine and the new settings will take affect automatically. For Redhat, Fedora, and similar systems, you will edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-[device-name] file. These examples assume the management interface is called 'eth3'.

A As of this writing it is very unlikely that a virus can be transmitted in this way. In our opinion normal anti-virus precautions are adequate. Popular software includes McAfee, Norton Anti-Virus, or Thunderbyte. Evaluation copies are available on the Web; please visit TUCOWS for anti-virus software. Another way that your computer can catch a virus is through an e-mail attachment. In this case, you would have to run the file in order for it to infect anything. See similar questions...

Linux is a complete Unix-like operating system. It runs on a wide variety of hardware, supporting machines based on the following CPU types: Intel x86, Motorola 68k and PowerPC, Compaq Alpha, Sun Sparc, and MIPS. Probably the most unique characterisitc of Linux is that it is freely distributable, which means that the source code for the kernel and i most software connot be withheld from distribution. It does not mean that companies cannot charge for it. See similar questions...

Unfortunately because of recent spam activity we have been forced to (at least temporarily) block all IP addresses. If you would like to join our board we'd love to have you. Registered members are able to bypass this block because the block only stops annonymous posting. So, please contact TJ to get registered and we look forward to your participation on the board!

If you want all the edits of one IP to be attributed to an user, see How do I reassign edits from one user to another? above. See similar questions...

Maybe. There are some advantages to having a unique IP for your site. When you change servers, you can point your users to a new IP, so they don't have to wait for the domain name change to propagate. With a static IP, it can also be simpler to upload and test your site before transferring the domain name to a new server. Setting up SSL is also much simpler. You may also not want to share your IP with some sites that could lead to your site being banned by search engines or spam lists. See similar questions...

Since it is quite possible for a user to mistype their password repeatedly it may be desirable to have DenyHosts prevent specific IP addresses from being added to /etc/hosts.deny. To address this issue, create a file named allowed-hosts in the WORK_DIR. Simply add an IP address, one per line. Any IP address that appears in this file will not be blocked. Additionally, as of v1.0.3, a valid hostname can also be placed in the allowed-hosts file. See similar questions...

Yes, we do offer IP addresses, although we do follow & ARIN guidelines. Most of the time you will be granted an IP address if you are going to use SSL or you are a reseller and require your own Private Name Servers. If you are able to justify your use of an IP address then you will be billed an extra US$3/month. See similar questions...
