I use ipconfig to find my ip address to configure a RDC from another laptop. I am in a hotel, and from the looks of the ip address, it seems that it is a private assigned from the wireless router inside the hotel. When I go to WHATISMYIP.com, it shows another address.
IPCONFIG = 172.24.xx.xx
WHATISMYIP = 83.xx.xx.xx
I was wondering why the ip address seen via the web is different from that I see in my command prompt? Is this a firewall/security function?
Thanks
