With the proliferation of Internet-connected computers, why haven't we run out of unique IP addresses already?

With the combination of NAT and Private address space that can be used repeatedly, An IP address is often used many times. This allows the existing address space to be stretched to a point where running out has not become an issue.

You can use a NAT server to share the static IP address.

a printer with an ip address

where will the data go? to IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\nIt's your address in here\ncomputer names are used as addresses on some LANs but they are limited\non the internet ur talking about addressing the whole world so there should be no dublicates otherwise data going to UnitedStates would go to Israel :D

Yes and No. If they use public IP addresses, then each address is unique and no two nodes (whether computers, printers, etc.) can use the same address.\n\nIf they use private IP address, such as those in the 10.xx or 192.xx range, and they are on separate networks, then Yes. But if they reside on the same network, the IPs still need to be different.

Let us take a example, of opening up same web page more than two times (i mean to opne more than two windows).\n\nNow when you do some action on the first window, ofcourse it gets reflected only in the same window not on the other windows right (even all are pointing to same IP address). This is how a session is maintained for each and every connection.\n\nI think this answers your question.

you should install IP Tools

Depends on if your provider uses dynamic or static IP's.  You could always use another provider.....

It hasn't affected how I find information. It has affected the technology used to network all these computers together.  Eventually the networking will use a different protocol that has room for many more IP addresses. That will require a lot of hardware behind the scenes to be upgraded and replaced, but having more sites on the net just means more places to look for information.  That's a good thing.  Search Engines and other tools handle cataloging that information for me automatically.

Yes, you can.... Just contact your internet provider and he'll give you a new IP.

Chances are that it's locked by the IP address and not by the URL.

ya it is possible to have more than one ip address on one system.... it depends on the number of NIC's on ur system... NIC(Network Interface Card), each one ll have a unique IP address... for ur case one is the Realtek Ethernet card and the other being the inbuilt ethernet card on ur motherboard.

Actually, every host does have the capability to collect the IP addreses, and most do, it's just that Yahoo is forewarning you. I like that they do, because it makes the good guys feel more comfortable, and the bad guys just go away.

IPv4 - 4,294,967,295 (4.3 billion) possible unique addresses\nIPv6 - 3.4X10^38 (18 quintillion) possible unique addresses

In basic terms, two computers on the same network are assigned the same IP address.

nobody knows how many websites the internet has. Google says they can never index them all, as websites go away, new ones are added, etc. However, there are easily billions of web pages out there. I think that the official number of registered domains is around 80 million, but that doesn't include subdomains that have been purchased, etc.\n\nAhhh, the wonders of the internet.

normally the servers store the IP addresses of people too.\nbut in future if researchers in the field of Dynamic Web Prediction (I am one)achieve success then there will be many other methods to track people.\nIt also depends on the purpose of tracking.
