I've never seen that before. That is an internet address, not a network one. You should see something like this -

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Tom>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::202:e3ff:fe1f:c601%4
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

The addresses 90.220.72.5-2 resolves to Abertillery. I don't know how your network is working with internet addresses. Can you connect by ethernet cable and see what you get with that?

I don't really understand why your IP resolves to Burton-on-Trent when the addresses shown in your IPconfig are in Wales. You wouldn't be trolling would you?

Until you can get your internal network address sorted out, you will get nowhere. Sorry I can be of no more help.

I was hoping someone else would join in and explain why you are getting 2 legitimate Sky IP addresses for your network.

You could have a look in your router settings and see what address is shown for your LAN Port IP address. It should be 192.168.0.1. According to your Ipconfig it is going to be 90.220.72.2. If this is the case try resetting your router by pushing a pin in the reset hole at the rear for 30 secs.

looked at the settings and it is 90.220.72.2, il try resetting.

I have tried pinging the 2 addresses and get a reply, which means they are both in use by Sky users. How you have ended up with them as a Local address beats me.

Something else worth checking (although you wouldn't be online if this was correct)...

Go into the connection properties and see if there is a static IP assigned to the IPv4 protocol, it should be on automatic and not the 90.x.x.x IP
