A while ago I read somewhere that the world is running out of IP addresses and will have done within a couple of years or so. With only 4.3 billion available I can see why.

Yesterday whilst using Cute FTP to access my web space I noticed that the IP address had changed from the usual 4 figures group to a six figures group. This one - 192,168,1,3,12,232

Then earlier today it had gone back to a four figures group and by coincidence my Internet access was slower than normal.

Today Internet access is back to my normal and the IP address for accessing my web space is 192,168,1,3,13,187.

Could it be that the various ISP’s are trying to get their gear working with a six group IP address?

At least with a six group figure there will be around 281,474,976,700,000 different IP addresses. That should be more than enough.
