Email 3 Questions Hi All, I have 1 wired PC & 1 Laptop, both Windows 7 Home Prem. both use W Live Mail to send / read using a Gmail account. Netgear router DGN2000 with NAT.
-
Q1. If I sent you an email from both PC's, could you tell they came from the same location.
-
Q2. If I sent you an email from wired PC, reboot my router ( changes IP Address ) then send one from the Laptop. could you tell they came from the same location.
-
Q3. If I sent you an Email from either PC using WLM & Gmail account, then another from either PC, using my AOL account, could you tell they came from the same location. | My System Specs |

Location? meaning your physical location (long & lat)? if so
Depends on how much effort someone wants to put into it. ie law enforcement can tell you what you had for breakfast, while the casual usser could not tell where you live. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion dv-7 1005 Tx OS Win 8 Release candidate 8400 CPU 2@2.4 Memory 4 gigs Graphics Card Nvidia 9600M Sound Card HD built-in Monitor(s) Displays 17" Wxga Screen Resolution 1440x900 Cooling none Internet Speed 45Mb down 5Mb up |
