i am a new user of ip tools version 2.20
something odd happened when i installed it [IP Tools]
I am also using AnalogX Port Blocker

before i installed IP Tools Port Blocker said ip address was 149.234.XXX.XXX [example] this ip is the one that my isp gives me when i connect to the internet

After installing IP Tools Port Blocker says ip address is 127.0.01

Any idea why this happened?

os = Win XP SP1a no firewall AV = AVG

sorry if i have not included enough info pls let me know
thank you

ALSO where can I get a HELP file for IP Tools, whenever I click on HELP, it tells me "file cannot be found"

Any system has address 127.0.0.1, its loop, local interface. Before or after IP-Tools installation your system has this address. Even if your system disconnected from network, this address is present. So, nothing wrong.

ALSO where can I get a HELP file for IP Tools, whenever I click on HELP, it tells me "file cannot be found

Help files included in the package. Do you see DOC\ folder in IP-Tools's directory? Any files there?

yes KS-Soft
i kinda know that 127.0.0.1 is present in all states, but wot i was wondering was why:

before IP Tools install:
Analog X Port Blocker program reported my ip as 169.234.xxx.xxx

after IP Tools install:
Analog X Port Blocker program reported my ip as 127.0.0.1

and yes i found DOC folder thank you

Sorry, I don't know how X Port Blocker works and how it chooses address to display.
I just know that IP-Tools does not change any system setting, it does not install any DLLs and do not change system data in the registry.
