The Ferret is unmaskable, apparently...

Ferret,

How did you go on the weekend? I have read your sledging of many others for getting out there and having a go, did you turn up or are you covering up your performance?

Regards

Spokey

Di2's good mate is still around, might have been left the keys to the logon.

Nice to hear from you, Its' been a while. Having seen who has been trolling the forum of late some may feel that you are a regular poster using an alias. This does narrow the field some what.

Regards

Your concerened friend

IP addresses would disclose if another person logged on as Ferret from a computer other than The Ferret's computers.

The Ferret's computers

So there is more than one Ferret burrow?  This is a fact?

[Boostland]

Going on that logic there would be more than one Metro Commuter and more than one Hilljockey as well.

Going on the food bill at MC's place you could be onto something there Boostie!

Too many tech heads at Hillbilly's place to keep up with their IP addresses.

[Metro Commuter]

My ip addresses come from the Blackberry I am posting this from; either of my kid's notebooks; the 2 netbooks I have for work; an ancient work notebook, and my desktop at work.

My memory was Ferret had 3 ip addresses.

A lot of appliances now have ip addresses - can Commuter post from his deep fryer?

[Boostland]

Actually Ferret has posted from 27 different IP's, and Metro has more than I can be bothered counting, the reason for this is dynamic IP's, each time you reconnect you are given a new IP.

ISP providers do this to save on IP's, no all customers will need a IP at the same time so sharing them around means they can make do with less, although given the nature of permanent broadband connections now this makes less and less sense, I have a dynamic IP account but they have made it static so it has not changed since I joined this ISP nearly 2 years ago, static IP's used to cost around $10 a month extra but now you can get them free from a lot of providers.

iiNet and Internode have dynamic sticky IP's so your IP can stay the same if you reconnect, you can force a IP change on those ISP's by changing your username in the modem from username@isp.com.au to username, or you could leave it disconnected for a few days (not sure if this works any more).

[hilljockey]

Are Ferret's IP addresses all within the one block for one ISP?

[Boostland]

That sounds like too much work, and too much info to provide

The Ferret unmaskable?

I wish his arse had a mask on it at the meeting the other night. What on earth has he been eating?
