Some dial up users get what is called a Static Ip Address which means that it does not change, while for the most part dial up usually uses DHCP, But usually if a malicious software has managed to obtain your IP address once, chances are that the malicious software contains a Client that connects to a server at a Static ip address, and sends the information of your new IP address to the Malicious Server... thats a security viewpoint from the software aspect, as far as from the human aspect, yes it is a little bit more secure, from a different standpoint, people can know your ipaddress all day long, unless they have a malicious software installed on your computer or you have remote assistance/remote desktop enabled, they arent getting into your computer.True or False: Dial-up users get a new IP address everytime they disconnect and dial back in?
ip.. yes security... no
it doesn't allow for more security, thats just noob talk, but yes the ip address will be different each time
dial-up users get a new number dialed evertime so it might change or u might get the same number it all depends on how many ppl r on and what numbers are available.
no its not true the only way you can get a different IP address is to have an IP changer that program forces your IP to change but when you get your internet service hooked up you are assigned an IP address kinds like when you get your phone hooked up they give you a number so people know that number is yours its the same with an IP address they know its yours...you get it
False.
false. dial up users get a new IP every few seconds. as for highspeed, our IP actually changes too suprisngly but at a much much slower rate. in addition to this our subnet mask etc keep us safe from hackers. the onyl Ip that never refreshes so to speak are like schools and businesses with special connections that cant change. these have masks to prevent hacking.
Yes and no. DHCP by default starts by trying to use the last IP address it was assigned for an adapter. With dial up, the chances of this happening are pretty unlikely. With high speed internet (cable, dsl) your chances of getting the same IP back are a lot higher due to systems not requesting new IP addresses as often. Either way, if you're relying on your IP address to change as your primary security method, I'd strongly suggest reconsidering. At a bare minimum, I'd make sure I have a software firewall (Windows XP includes one for free with Service Pack 2) enabled. A home router acts as a firewall by default as well and is probably worth the money, even if you've only got a single PC from a security standpoint.
Fasle, because dial up users get new adresses every time they reboot the computer, not every time they dial in.
