Not my IP address - help!

I was running a hijack log and noticed the IP address was a little odd.
I did a whois search and sure enough it was an AOL address. I logged
out and back in and this time it was a pacbell address. Somehow my IP
address is being hijacked and I don't have the slightest idea how to
stop this. I'm not logging into my email or anything (and I have no
idea how long this has been going on). I'm an intermediate when it
comes to computers, I have all the malware software and that's what I
was running (ewido, spybot, adware, etc) and none of it shows anything
but that's all I know. Also, can they view my passwords and what else
can they see on my computer? How do I get this to stop? Any help would
be greatly appreciated it.

Does not sound that way

read about what IP addresses are and where they come
from and if you still think you have a problem, explain
it clearly.

Thanks for the help. I can see it was a waste of time asking people in
here. I got some condescending remarks, nothing remotely resembling a
helpful answer or suggestion. Amazing.

Are you using Tor, or are you going through any service that goes through
Tor? If you are, Tor changes I.P.'s every 10 minutes.

I don't knwo what Tor is.

I have regular dial up. I've used "your ip" before and know what my
usual ip address is. Now when I go on, I get ip addresses for Aol, pac
bell, something in brazil, etc. I have zone alarm on my computer now
but the fake ip addresses are still showing up. something on my
computer is allowing this and I don't have a clue what. I've
reinstalled windows and run every spyware and malware softewar there is
but for some reason I still get these fake ip addresses which I didn't
have before.

while the global LRU stuff that I had done as an undergraduate in the
60s (against release 1 and release 2 cp67 systems), didn't ship in
cp67 release 3 ... gobs of other stuff that I had done did ship in
release 3 (lots of kernel rewrite, pathlengths, fastpath, etc).

Clueless as usual!

No, it doesn't change every 10 minutes. For some types of connections
it does, as long as new connections are being established by new
requests. For others your circuit is persistent even if the connection
is up for weeks or months. Like SSH or IRC connections that would break
if the circuit were rebuilt.

In any case, if you had any clue what so ever you'd have already looked
at the OP's IP address, and know she's not posting through any Tor
server. For that matter, even reading what's written would tell you
this person isn't using anything like Tor.

I have to say it's sad in a really pathetic sort of way when someone
who has just embarrassed themselves with their incompetence flails
their arms about desperately trying to stumble over some sort of
credible sounding answer, only to make an even bigger fool of
themselves.

I almost feel sorry for you. If you weren't such a total ****wit, I
actually might.

Your IP has been the same for 2 days now, judging by your posts here.

Message-ID: < .com>
172.192.89.205

Message-ID: <. com>
Message-ID: <. com>
208.11.149.39

The first message is a Sprint IP, the second two are from an AOL IP
block. They all say you're in or near El Segundo, California. You're
probably using a dialup account through Sprint (your phone company) and
accessing AOL services via some toll free account that's used when you
double click on whatever abomination they're passing off as an internet
suite.

You got terse answers because you claim your IP is being "hijacked", but
don't give any information at all about what IP you believe you're
being sent through or anything else. And your own posts to this group
don't show anything out of the ordinary. If you want real answers, ask
real questions and give real information. You also apparently haven't
spent a single minute trying to gain any basic understanding of what
you're looking at, but expect everyone else to jump to attention and
solve your possible non-problems for you.

What "fake IP address" would that be?? There's no such thing as a
"fake" IP address, because for your Internet connection to work at all.
You need a "real" IP address. It has to be assigned to you, and valid,
for web pages to display, email to show up, etc. What software is
telling you you have a "fake" IP address? How are you using it to
determine you have this alleged "fake" IP address. You need to be
specific, but please don't post any HIjack This logs here or you'll ger
more terse replies. There's a place for that stuff. This isn't it. Post
short excerpts in you want, showing this "fake" IP.

This is not the computer I'm talking about. I'm on a totally unrelated
computer, I never said it was this computer.

No, I have simply asked for help and all I've gotten is a bunch of
bullshit. I've never asked "for my problems to be solved" or made ANY
demands as you've insinuated. I've been asking for help or advice but
all I've gotten is eveyrthing but. If I'm in the wrong group or not
giving the info you need, all you have to do is say so, no need to be
a jerk.

Okay, I go into "your ip" which is one of those websites that tell you
your IP address. Each time it gives me some ip address which is NOT my
IP address. I post through Netzero and these particular IP addresses
are from AOL, Pacbell, out of the country IPs, etc. when I log out and
go back in, ti's a different IP address. Now before I've checke my IP
address and it was a netzero/juno IP address, but now each time I get
some IP address that is not mine. I'm not sure what other info to give
here, if there is something else I need to tell you, let me know, but
all these condiscending answers and insulting responses aren't getting
us anywhere.
