*I'm in a library in Nyc, why am I getting two different ip addresses

Yea so I'm at the library, trying to see if these wireless networks would give me a different IP, everytime I connect and the sites I am going to are giving me, different IP addresses but , there are only two ip addresses.

Its either one or the other

Any ideas ??

are you going to www.whatismyip.com
or are you going by your internal ip which is worthless ?

another good one is...

Code:

and depending on what you are doing and what's needed, you can usually connect to a proxy via...

Well I am not using internal Ip information.

I am going, to whatismyip, which I think is being unreliable for me. IP chickn is working for me.

Everytime I reconnect to the library's network I get a new IP, and ip chicken is showing me this accurately.
