Type ipconfig in your command prompt window.

It will display your IP Address, Subnet, and Default Gateway.

Some ISPs are using a a service network and DNS specific networks only by name so as to hide/confuse hackers.

ipconfig in my computer shows this as
connection....DNS specific.......grandecom.net
then it displays the router specific setting and generic gateway setting.

which non of these is showing the true IP address.

If you wish to check out your true IP address:
