Kent is actually right... dyndns.org might give that IP address but that's
because routers don't let private addresses like 192.x.x.x to reach out
of the network... That's probably why you're showing the correct IP address,
It just means you will have problems with your network inside. I don't
know what the original thread was about but just confirming Kent still
hasn't been wrong since 1974. :-)
When youre in work look at your internal address with ifconfig (or
ipconfig on windows) and then go to checkip.dyndns.org... it will
show a totally different IP.
