how does ip works?

I was actually using my school computer yesterday so are those guys in my school district?

Not necessarily. Dial up IP's rotate, as in, go from one computer to another. Not at the same time, but someone could have posted from say IP 1.1.1.1.1.1 on their computer in January, then you wound up with IP 1.1.1.1.1.1 and posted from it in February from your computer. Both users will show up when you pull your IP here. Make any more sense now?

Just pull your IP up again and check out how many different IP's you've posted from. You know you haven't posted from that many different computers.

I know, but my school internet feels much, much faster than Dial-up(at least 5mps)

or am I just dumb

Might have something to do with processor speed or something else that one of the tekkies here can explain better.
