"ADVICE The IP Range for your account has changed...."

Post by ThommoHawk » Thu, 2. Aug 12, 10:37

lately I keep getting this message nearly everytime I log onto the forum:

"» ADVICE «
The IP Range for your account has changed. The actual Login took place from 118.210.x.x, the previous from 121.45.x.x. If you didn't log on from another location, then may be an aggressor has used your account without authorisation!"

I have changed my password a few times becuase of it but it keeps happening so wtf does this message mean?

i always log of from the same location, same connection, same isp etc.... so why am I getting this message?

Most likely your ISP uses dynamic IP addresses, but you can always check the IP addresses at someplace like http://network-tools.com/ to verify the whois.

Carlo must have it right as your post history shows posts from you from over a hundred different IPs with just a couple of IP favourites showing a hundred posts plus and many, many others of just couples and singletons. Nothing to worry about and you can click to discontinue future such warnings in the screen when you get one, I believe.
