| 176830 | 2003-09-23 02:39:00 | whatismyip.com is not accurate, it usually picks up the ISP's gateway, not your actual IP, I'm not sure what it uses to try to determine your IP as I haven't visited that site in ages due to it being incorrect. You need a server that securely connects or the scripts correctly identify your IP. Usually sites that probe your firewall pick up your IP correctly, e.g. www.grc.com |

| 176832 | 2003-09-27 05:07:00 | Thanks for all your help (sorry, Ive been away a few days). Turns out there were multiple problems 1. As per Kames comments, I was connecting OUT from my internal network, and hence getting the router 2. I used the whatismyip.com which gave an incorrect address Having reset the IP address to the one given on my routers configuration page gave a better result (and connecting from a different network, not out through my router). This leaves a third problem and fourth problem: 3. My webserver is now forbidding access to index.html (used to work but I seem to have mucked up the settings). Will take a look at hosts file and .htaccess as suggested 4. The URL for other pages seems to be being rewritten to include the internal networks IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.3). I think this is an internal Apache setting (will go back to the manual to confirm). Will get there eventually and am learning learning along the way. Once again - thanks for all the help. Cheers |

| 176835 | 2003-09-27 08:48:00 | whatismyip isn't wrong. It will be reporting the IP that it sees which in your case will probably be the IP of your ISPs proxy. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
