Your router will be given it's own IP address (for example 192.168.0.1) the other computer(s) will connect to, this is known as the default gateway. It will also have a subnet class (normally 255.255.255.0).
Each computer has it's own unique IP either generated off that (for example 192.168.0.102, 192.168.0.103, etc) or are manually added. If these aren't different you will have issues when both computers connect at the same time. The same subnet class is needed to join the network.

You have an internal IP address on your computer, which is stored on your boot drive. Then there's the public IP, that is stored on the router.
They usually differ in a couple of numbers, and the public IP is the one that is seen by your network provider, and such.
So which ip is checked by the Softwares like internet download manager and avast secureline for verification? by boot device do you mean hdd? is the internal ip in the operating system??? if i change the os will the internal ip also change??????????

I don't know a lot, but if you see your IP anywhere on the internet, it would be the internal one. And your IP would change, but only by the last few numbers, since the first set of numbers are determined by the router, for example, if your router's IP is 123.456.789, your Internal IP would be something similar to 123.456.542. Just an example.
