Weird IP Mismatch on TMNET Network

Posted by Ady on Thu, November 20, 2008

Tonight’s Internet access was annoyingly slow so I thought of recycling my ADSL connection. Out of habit I opened up WhatIsMyIP.us and was presented with a weird IP.

The top text with black background is the actual IP my router was assigned with (60.52.127.200).

And then I recycled my ADSL connection. The new IP was 60.50.203.72. However when I opened the site above again it still shows me the same IP. There is something fishy about this.

I tried ProxyWay and here’s what I got:

And here’s from CheckIP:

The two sites that gave me the correct and matching IP are IPChicken and IP-adress:

What the hell is wrong? Since TMNET has the reputation of doing stupid things right now I am thinking that they are testing some kind of HTTP bypassing. This is because the other traffic that I tested was not affected (e.g. SSH and FTP) and I see my “real” IP fine.

Anyone else is experiencing this twilight-zone scenario?

    Aku pun berhadapan masalah yg same. Sekang hampir setiap hari aku recycle balik ADSL connection aku. Super duper slow. Download Naruto yang seeders ngan leeches beribu pun makan mase 2 hari.

    Streamyx is getting worse and worse. Ripping peoples money.

    Hey, i tested it myself. IP-Adress.com seems to be the most accuratest. And its free. Thank you!
