I was wondering if I.P addresses can be faked. cause my sister has a problem where someone made post of something bad on her site and it say its from our i.p address now one else in my family said they did it. dontgetit.gif

Maybe by using a proxy it could, although im not sure. AOL normally switches it's I.P's around between members, i have at least 5 other people who have posted on my I.P before.

They can be spoofed by logging on through a proxy.

It could also be, if you have an unsecured wireless network, that someone may have been online through your wireless and posted. There are TONS of those around ehre.
