Thanks for your help![/quote]

================================================== ======

What you call a Global IP address is the Virginmedia IP address your modem has requested from Virginmedia servers.

To receive an IP address you must have your modem switched on and connected to the PC either directly through an Ethernet cable or through a router.

You cannot access the Internet unless you have the IP address 92.*.*.* or any other Virginmedia IPs otherwise all you will have is an internal network without any Internet access.
