so why does a different IP address show up in my network settings is it because I'm going through a wireless router? or should they be the same?
Why would it show up on blacklists for spam?

If you're behind a router, each computer is assigned an internal IP address, usually in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range. These are internal only, non-routable addresses. The router is what would have your real IP address.
