are there any other computers on your network?

if so your local IP may have changed and 192.168.0.1 (your original IP) may be getting ports forwarded to it. whilst you have 192.168.0.2 and no ports are being forwarded.

how can i change that

go into ur router and change which IP its being forwarded to
I try to keep my computer on all the time so my dad doesnt get my IP

I just go into router and change it to my IP when needed

ok thanks

Explain.. I don't understand how leaving it on protects your IP...

if your IP 192.168.0.1 is being used by you then another computer on your network cant take it. If your computer is off and antother computer aquires a network address it will take the first free one.

right, and how does that stop him from knowing your IP when he would usually? Wait, so you guys fight over that IP or something?

The BT ports have been set up to be forwarded to 192.168.0.1

if his dad gets his IP somehow then the ports arent forwarded
