Thanks guys, I guess that means I have 2 IP addresses. One for my desk top and another for my laptop. Wow, that way I can sit here and talk to myself all day.

Maybe. If both of your computers are directly connect to the modem. People with more than one computer rarely do this, however.

From your wording it sounds like both your computers are at home on the same network, which means you are probably using a firewall/router between your modem and your computers. This means the IP address seen on the internet will be the same for both your computers.

Ok, enough Networking-101. Anybody who wants to know more can inbox me.
