IP address listing on search results

I'm a newbie, and looked around the forum for a topic that was related to this. I'm wondering when I do a search for something on Limewire, the IP address of the download source computer is listed on the right. Some IP addys come up in red. What's the story behind that? I just wanted to know if that was a red flag about who not to download from or something.

The 192.168.xx.xx ip number is the address for a private network or possibly a router. The red indicates it is firewalled. Connecting with them is nothing to worry about. You may or maynot be able to download from them though.

Is my ip address the same as my limewire host id?
