Hmmm you're right. Never thought to check because my IP shows up correctly in the "Last login from " message on my work machine after I have ssh-ed into it. I don't have a private IP. Whatsmyip shows my IP as that of a webcache run by my ISP. Amazing - my ISP is smarter than I gave them credit for! (This is no reflection on Demon btw, I use a cable modem at home and use my Demon acct from there by POP3.) Thanks for making me check more carefully ;-) Arthur On Thursday 06 September 2001 14:33, you wrote:

Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and see if the ip that shows up matches the output from ifconfig.
Most likely you are either on a transparent proxy (many providers do this) or are NATed. In either case, everybody on your network will appear to have the same IP to remote web hosts.
If your IP, as reported by ifconfig, begins with 10 or 192.168, you are behind a NAT box. Those are not real IPs.
