Is it okay to share your IP address?

Because I just accidentally posted mine on a forum in an error report and I can't delete it ... also I'm on a mac and I can't figure out how to change my address. Ugh ...Is it okay to share your IP address?
As a general rule, the less information you give out, the better. But, as long as you have a router between your Mac and your cable/DSL connection, you should be in good shape. As you can tell from the link below, anyone running a website can get your IP address (whether you realize it or it).



If you have a Linksys router,

- just go to http://192.168.1.1/ (your router IP address),

- enter your password (user name is typically blank),

- go to Status,

- click on ';DHCP Release';, wait a few seconds,

- and then click on ';DHCP Renew';



-%26gt; This will change your IP address, your router will get a new one from your ISP (internet service provider), so the IP address you posted by mistake will no longer be accurate



Good luck :)Is it okay to share your IP address?
Usually the service providers provide a dynamic IP which automatically changes on resetting the modem.
