IP address
Does the computer with same wi-fi connection have same IP address?

No, every computer (or other network device) has to have a unique IP within your network.

In "www.whatismyip.com" website it shows us our current IP address. I am using my laptop in a LAN connecion(college wi-fi connection). It shows my IP address. My friend near me gets the same IP address. How is it possible?

To add what Gary said.... A physical connection and a wireless connection use two completely different network cards. Each card has a unique MAC address assigned to it from the factory, so each device will be given a different IP address from your router. That pretty much sums that up for you; Please read the links given to you though, as they will definitely help you understand networking in depth.
Cheers, Josh |
